I'm trying to install the following versions of emacs: sun3 X11 sun3 sunwindows sun4 X11 sun4 sunwindows I understand that an emacs, emacstool, and xemacs get created. I would like to share as many of the files between these versions as possible. 1. Can DOC files be shared? 2. Can lisp .el and .elc files be shared? 3. Can Info files be shared? The problem I'm seeing are that when I build an Xwindows version, xemacs works fine, but emacs complains that it can't find `/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvBO10'. How do I build an emacs that I can call inside an xterm that doesn't bring up a separate window? Thanks, Steve Kelem

The problem I'm seeing are that when I build an Xwindows version,
xemacs works fine, but emacs complains that it can't find
`/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvBO10'. How do I build an emacs that I

When you compile Emacs with `HAVE_X_WINDOWS' defined, the executable
that gets made will try to start up its own window IF there is a
variable named `DISPLAY' in your environment. To keep emacs from
starting up that new window, you can remove such a varaible if it
exists, or you can give emacs the `-nw' (no window) option when you
start it up.
