Installing Gnus as a package under XEmacs-21.2

Installing Gnus as a package under XEmacs-21.2

[Lloyd Zusman]

I'm using pgnus-0.63 under XEmacs-21.2.beta4

I'm wondering what it would take to install Gnus as an
auto-autoloadable package under XEmacs-21.2. I know that part of this
procedure entails creating the following directory:

  ../lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus

However, I believe that I also need an `auto-autoloads.el' file.  Is
that true?  If so, how can I generate one?  It looks like the
`auto-autoloads.el' files for other packages are somehow automatically
generated.

Thanks in advance.

	I usually compile with `gmake EMACS=xemacs' in the pgnus distribution, 
and then, I have a stupid script that removes the preceding version, installs
the new one, and regenerates the autoloads and the custom-loads. Here it is
fwiw: 

 ,----
| #! /bin/sh     
| 		 
| prefix=/infres/metheny
| package=$prefix/lib/xemacs/site-packages
| lisp_dir=$package/lisp/gnus
| emacs=$prefix/latest/xemacs/src/xemacs
| 		 
| rm -f $package/lisp/gnus/*
| rm -f $package/info/gnus*
| 		 
| gmake lispdir=$lisp_dir infodir=$package/info EMACS=$emacs install
| cp lisp/*.el $lisp_dir
| 		 
| cd $lisp_dir   
| $emacs -batch -q -l autoload -f batch-update-directory .
| $emacs -batch -q -l cus-dep  -f Custom-make-dependencies .
| $emacs -batch -q -f batch-byte-compile auto-autoloads.el custom-load.el
| 		 
| cd ../../      
| 		 
| chmod -R a+rX .
