So there I was, installing X11 release 3 and everything
was going along nicely. So I decided to recompile
GNU Emacs 18.51 to use it's X Windows support, and I
got the message
xmenu.c: 63: Can't find include file X11/XMenu.h
so I went looking for XMenu.h, and, not finding it,
decided to RTFM. In there I found:
old XMenu library removed
The old XMenu library has been removed from this
release. Applications in need of menus should
use a toolkit. A prototype X Toolkit menu widget
is available in the contrib/widgets/MenuBox/
directory.
Okay, so now it gets complicated. I'm gonna have to
have on GNU Emacs some, I guess. Before I start:
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks muchly

Since R3, there is no longer a XMenu package. Therefore, when
compiling 18.?? GNUmacs, leave commented the line that says:
/* Define HAVE_X_MENU if you want to use the X window menu system.
This appears to work on some machines that support X
and not on others. */
/* #define HAVE_X_MENU */
in the config.h file. You will not have the menus, but all other
things will work fine (the patches for 18.52 for X11 are located on
expo as contrib/ver-18.52.diff).
My understanding is that the X support will be completely rewritten
for version 19 and menus will appear again.
Enjoy and happy emacsing.

`old XMenu library removed'

Yes. Get a copy of XMenu-related things from your X11R2 installation,
and use it directly. Don't even bother recompiling libXMenu11.a.
