Description Navid 2002-05-03 15:31:34 UTC

Hi,  
When the configure script tests for the existance of gnudbm it tries to compile a small test program   
with an -lgpm argument. When sys-libs/gpm isn't install this will fail and xemacs won't install. One   
quick way to fix it is to make sys-libs/gpm a dependency of xemacs.

i just added xemacs-gamma/xemacs-gamma-21.4.7.ebuild to portage.

The aim of this new package is to provide an xemacs-gamma release in portage.
See http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/index.html#Gamma for the rationale. I plan to
roll-back app-editors/xemacs to use the STABLE xemacs release 21.1.14 (ie.
emerge xemacs gives the user the stable xemacs not a gamma release).

This xemacs-gamma-21.4.7.ebuild is quite different to the older xemacs-21.4.x
ebuild. I've marked it in packages.mask (unmask it and emerge xemacs-gamma to
test it). 

New stuff:

  * optional mule support (bug 2054)
  * separate motif, lucid and gtk support (see USE_PREF in the ebuild 
    to switch between them -- lucid is the default since it's the most 
    stable of the three)
  * optional gpm dependencies (this bug)
  * gnudbm dependencies (this bug)
