Hi,
Beacuse of lack of time, I was away from new Gnus versions (and regulary
reading ding list) for a while, sticking to good old 5.8.2 instead. When I
tried to compile new 5.8.7 today, it kept complaining about missing
`timer.el' file, like this:
While compiling toplevel forms in file
/home/users/t/tdrabik/site-lisp/gnus-5.8.7/lisp/gnus-uu.el:
!! File error (("Cannot open load file" "timer"))
[...]
While compiling toplevel forms in file
/home/users/t/tdrabik/site-lisp/gnus-5.8.7/lisp/mm-partial.el:
!! File error (("Cannot open load file" "timer"))
[...]
As far as I know, `timer.el' is a GNU Emacs thingy, which was not needed for
byte-compiling and running Gnus on XEmacs. Why is it needed now and how to
circumvent this?
I'm using XEmacs 20.4 on Solaris.
Thanks,
Toni

timer.el is part of XEmacs 21, which is probably why Gnus no longer bundles
it. Just use the old version for now, or upgrade your XEmacs.

Thanks. I simply copied `timer.el' from GNU Emacs 20.3 installation on my
machine to `gnus/lisp'. New Gnus compiled and seems to work, at least for
now.
