This is not a big loss since the version of AUCTeX distributed with XEmacs is ancient anyway. > I downloaded auctex-11.84.zip and followed the instructions as best I > could to install with configure and make in a cygwin bash: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/d/auctex-11.84 > $ > ./configure --prefix="D:\\XEmacs" > --with-xemacs="/cygdrive/d/XEmacs/XEmacs-21.4.21/i586-pc-win32/xemacs.exe" > --with-packagedir="D:\\XEmacs\\xemacs-packages" > --with-auctexstartfile="auctex.el" > --disable-preview Not sure if this is the cause, but using forward slashes instead of backslashes is usually safer. > configure ran without problems > (using --with-xemacs="D:\\XEmacs\\Xemacs-21.4.21\\i586-pc-win32\\xemacs.exe" > did not work) What means "did not work"? > make also ran without problems > > but make install in the end (how far from the and am I?) produced the > following error message > > make[1]: *** [install-metadata] Error 255 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/d/auctex-11.84' > make: *** [install] Error 2 What does the output show just before the error?
