[opensuse] Can anyone run GTK Emacs with wxGTK installed?
I posted here on Friday about Emacs 22 built with GTK support segfaulting after I installed wxGTK on SUSE 10.1 (MID <87hcwf8j70.fsf@escher.local.home>) and haven't gotten any reply yet. I would be grateful if anyone who uses the GTK build of Emacs 22 could test this on their system (preferably 10.1 or 10.0), so I can know whether this is a SUSE problem or a local issue. All you have to do is install the wxGTK rpm and the see if you can start GTK Emacs (builds with other X11 toolkits are not affected). If Emacs segfaults, you just have to uninstall the wxGTK rpm, and Emacs should start again as usual. (However, don't build and install wxGTK from source: I did that in the hope of solving this problem, but the Makefile has an empty uninstall target and even after deleting all wx* files by hand, I still cannot start GTK Emacs, and haven't gotten anywhere yet trying to find out why.) I would appreciate any and all feedback. Steve Berman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Both apt and rpm fail with missing libpng and pibtiff missing errors (both of which I have and the versions look OK). Attempts to force install also error. Does anyone know of a suse apt repository that has any of this as the packages I have have been alien'd from debs ?

I don't know of any SUSE rpm's of Emacs 22, whether built with GTK or another toolkit. But it's really not much more difficult to build Emacs from source, as long as you install the necessary packages, e.g. libpng-devel etc. You can get the latest pretest tarball from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest.

I can now compile the cvs version and it runs. Can get anti-aliased fonts for eg menu-bar etc but not for buffer contents. So I must be getting closer. Interestingly the --enable-font-backend command line switch seems to be not recognised despite the enable-font-backend configure switch.

I was going to reply that anti-aliased fonts in the menu-bar come from the GTK toolkit and the buffer contents lack anti-aliasing because aside from GTK Emacs 22 lacks it; but --enable-font-backend is not part of Emacs 22, so I guess you compiled not from the CVS trunk but from the one of the branches (unicode?). I cannot help you there, but you could try the emacs.help newsgroup or the emacs-pretest-bug or emacs-devel mailing lists (all three accessible via http://gmane.org).
