W3 installation and Gnus?

W3 installation and Gnus?

[Kai Großjohann]

Now that Emacs 20.4 is out, I'm taking the time to rebuild my
site-lisp directory from scratch.  Right now, I'm installing
w3-4.0pre44, and the configure script tells me that it's checking for
a recent Gnus version (it seems to be checking for mm-decode or
something) and tells me no.

But I'm pretty sure that pgnus-0.95 is fairly recent :-)

So, how do I tell the W3 configure script that I've got pgnus-0.95
installed?  (There is a directory site-lisp/pgnus-0.95 which contains
the *.el and *.elc files, and subdirs.el tells me it's adding this
directory to load-path, right?)

But the configure script calls "emacs -batch" which inhibits the
site-lisp stuff, I think.

So, what to do?

I use the following when I build w3:

./configure --with-lispdir=/users/pahe/Public/elisp/w3 --with-gnus=/users/pahe/Public/elisp/pgnus --prefix=/users/pahe/Public

Cheers

I didn't know about --with-gnus.  Thanks!  Installing again right
now...
