The version of XEmacs you installed has only limited international character set support. (Related to this is MULE, an abbreviation for Multilingual Environment.) As a result it is not capable of correctly handling files encoded in UTF-8, a variable-length character encoding for Unicode. I currently don't know how this manifests in XEmacs, i.e. if multi-byte characters in such files are displayed garbled or if data corruption can occur when writing them to disk. >> You can use `tee' to redirect the output to a file.

You will need to redirect stderr in order to get all of the output, i.e. you have to write `make install 2>&1 | tee install.log'. > Please tell me if you really want all 300 lines, here are the > last 11 lines: > > 8<--------------------- > Generating autoloads for toolbar-x.el... > Wrote d:\XEmacs\site-packages\lisp\auctex\auto-autoloads.el > Mark set > Wrote d:\XEmacs\site-packages\lisp\auctex\auto-autoloads.el > Compiling d:\XEmacs\site-packages\lisp\auctex\auto-autoloads.el... > Compiling auto-autoloads.el...

If the Windows `find' executable is shadowing the one provided by MSYS, this could be the problem. You can find out by typing "find <RET>" in the MSYS shell. And no, I don't think sending the whole file will help more. >> BTW, if you want to be sure to have a fully working AUCTeX, you could >> download the AUCTeX XEmacs package from the AUCTeX homepage and simply >> drop this into your package tree.

The XEmacs package of AUCTeX is operating system agnostic. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
