Sorry for a perhaps stupid question.
How do XEmacs users build recent gnus packages under XEmacs? Since
5.8.3 and up through the current CVS version, building gnus fails
because I don't have timer.el (which lives in fsf-compat) installed.
I do have a workaround, because it so happens I have a full XEmacs
packages build tree, so I can just set EMACSLOADPATH to point to the
built location of the fsf-compat package, and I can then build,
install and run gnus. Do I need the fsf-compat package at run-time?
It appears not, but why do I need it at compile time?
I dimly recall this issue's having been discussed on the ding list,
and I thought someone was planning on removing / reworking this
dependency to be more XEmacs-friendly.
TIA,
vin
