I just tried building Gnu Emacs with X11R3 support, and got errors because XMenu is no longer supplied as part of the base release. The installation documentation for X11R3 said that there were several menu type things available in the user-supplied tapes, but as I'm new to the wonderful world of X, I'm not sure how to go about finding the ones that are 'close enough' to the late XMenu, or how to go about modifying Gnu Emacs to account for the inevitable differences. Has anyone else done this? No sense in reinventing the square wheel... -- Mike Van Pelt Will your long-winded speeches never Video 7 end?

I'm told that you should go get libXMenu11.a from your X11R2
installation and just drop it in place. It should be fine at that
point.

Unfortunately today I installed X11 for the first time, so I don't have an
X11R2 installation to get a libXMenu11.a from. Any other suggestions?
Also, right afterwards I installed 18.52 with the HAVE_X_WINDOWS variable
set (or whatever it's name was) and it ran into problems compiling because
it was missing an include file from /usr/include/X11. <something>fonts.h
or something like that. What can I do to compile a vanilla 18.52 on a new
sun after installing X11R3? Given that everything is vanilla distributions
and installations, I'm getting kind of frustrated.

.The menu portion of gnumacs under X11 is on hold until it can be
.re-written for new menus. It isn't necessary to have it to compile
.gnumacs (just don't uncomment the line #define HAVE_X_MENU in config.h).
I did this, and Emacs compiled perfectly. Thanks, everyone!
