The current dependency is Xaw3d. I would like to move to gtk+ but the gtk+ code is still beta quality at best I'm afraid (bug 112682). > These are actually pretty useful for viewing images from xemacs.
Yeah, but I never do that. The typical situation here is that I have
a server machine, I install xemacs just so that I can do basic remote
editing, and I have to spend time chasing down a bunch of dependencies
on JPEG and PNG and stuff just to get to a point where I can edit text
files in comfort :-(
Thanks!
xemacs-21.4.15-4 provides a xemacs-nox package like the one I recently also added for emacs. The 21.4.15-4 -nox package depends on xemacs-common, which has some X library dependencies... (at least if rebuilt on RH9 or FC1) so the -nox name is a bit misleading ;) Thanks, Ville, well spotted. :) Moving gnuclient and gnuserv from -common into xemacs in 21.4.15-5. |
