|
||
|
||
This directory contains support for compiling and running GNU Emacs on
|
||
Windows NT, Windows 95, and their successors. This port supports all
|
||
of the major functionality of the Unix version, including
|
||
subprocesses, windowing features (fonts, colors, scroll bars, multiple
|
||
frames, etc.), and networking support.
|
||
|
||
Precompiled distributions are also available; ftp to
|
||
|
||
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/
|
||
|
||
for the latest precompiled distributions.
|
||
|
||
* Building and installing
|
||
|
||
See the INSTALL file in this directory for detailed instructions on
|
||
building and installing Emacs on your system.
|
||
|
||
* Further information
|
||
|
||
There is a web page that serves as a FAQ for the Windows port of
|
||
Emacs (a.k.a. NTEmacs) at:
|
||
|
||
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html
|
||
|
||
There is also a mailing list for discussing issues related to this
|
||
port of Emacs. For information about the list, see this Web page:
|
||
|
||
http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows
|
||
|
||
To ask questions on the mailing list, send email to
|
||
help-emacs-windows@gnu.org. (You don't need to subscribe for that.)
|
||
To subscribe to the list or unsubscribe from it, fill the form you
|
||
find at http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows as
|
||
explained there.
|
||
|
||
Another valuable source of information and help which should not be
|
||
overlooked is the various Usenet news groups dedicated to Emacs.
|
||
These are particularly good for help with general issues which aren't
|
||
specific to the Windows port of Emacs. The main news groups to use
|
||
for seeking help are:
|
||
|
||
gnu.emacs.help
|
||
comp.emacs
|
||
|
||
There are also fairly regular postings and announcements of new or
|
||
updated Emacs packages on this group:
|
||
|
||
gnu.emacs.sources
|
||
|
||
* Reporting bugs
|
||
|
||
If you encounter a bug in this port of Emacs, we would like to hear
|
||
about it. First check the file etc/PROBLEMS and the FAQ on the web
|
||
page above to see if the bug is already known and if there are any
|
||
workarounds. If not, then check whether the bug has something to do
|
||
with code in your .emacs file, e.g. by invoking Emacs with the "-Q"
|
||
option.
|
||
|
||
Use the built in bug reporting functionality in Emacs so that it
|
||
will be seen by the right people. You can use the command M-x
|
||
report-emacs-bug to create and send the bug report, but in some
|
||
cases there is a function to report bugs in a specific package;
|
||
e.g. M-x gnus-bug for Gnus, M-x c-submit-bug-report for C/C++/Java
|
||
mode, etc.
