[comp.emacs] Emacs and X

pinkas@mipos3.UUCP (Israel Pinkas) (12/05/86)

I recent tries to rebuild our emacs (gnu v17.64) to run on our GPXs with X.
I defined the symbol HAVE_X_WINDOWS in config.h and rebuilt.  The new
executable wouldn't run at all.  When ther terminal type was xterm, it
hung, and had to be killed.  No errors, no new windows.  It failed to
recognize any other terminal type.  (It appears that the termcap library
was not included.)

Has anyone built emacs with X and termcap support?  If so, what did you do?

I have had the same problem with the same emacs version on a uVaxII/Ultrix1.2
& find that running from superuser does successfully open a window. I have checked the permissions in all the files I can think of & conclude it is a setuid 
problem somewhere in emacs but can't find it. Help?

Is there a version of Emacs that opens up real X windows for each Emacs
window?

That's a reported feature of the upcoming GNU Emacs version 19.

I've seen Unipress Emacs (for which you're welcome to pay) do
window-in-a-window and other slick window system interactions under
NeWS (for which you're also welcome to pay), but I don't know about
their X support.

I don't think CCA Emacs or any of the micro-Emacsen do any window
system support at all, so they probably don't do more advanced stuff
either.
