I've been browsing through the list archives but I still don't
understand how to install tramp to work with normal emacs [not xemacs
or emacsW32] on XP. Someone says that emacs22 already has tramp but I
don't see the binary at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ .
Emacs 22 was not yet released, but you can find the binary on the same
site as emacsW32: there's an unpatched binary there.
1. Downloaded cygwin
2. Downloaded tramp
3. Unpacked tramp to C:\Program Files\emacs\emacs-21.3\tramp-2.1.7
4. change directory to the tramp-2.1.7 directory
5. ./configure --with-contrib --with-lispdir='C:/Program
Files/Emacs/site-lisp' --infodir='C:/Program Files/Emacs/info'
I get the response
: command not found4:
./configure: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
./configure: line 24 'case set -o 2> /dev/null' in *posix *>set -o
posix;;' sac
I am assuming this is some problem with cygwin. Any ideas how to do
this correctly?
I suggest to get a native Windows binary of Emacs 22, it all works
there out of the box, no customizations in .emacs are necessary.
