What is XEmacs?

XEmacs is a highly customizable open source text editor and application development system. It is protected under the GNU Public License and related to other versions of Emacs, in particular GNU Emacs. Its emphasis is on modern graphical user interface support and an open software development model, similar to Linux. XEmacs has an active development community numbering in the hundreds, and runs on Windows 95 and NT, Linux and nearly every other version of Unix in existence. Support for XEmacs has been supplied by Sun Microsystems, University of Illinois, Lucid, ETL/Electrotechnical Laboratory, Amdahl Corporation, BeOpen, and others, as well as the unpaid time of a great number of individual developers.
Web and FTP hosting graciously provided by Sourceforge, SunSITE.dk and tux.org as well as many world-wide FTP site and Web site mirrors.
XEmacs mailing lists are back up. They have been reorganized, and some services remain unavailable. See the status page.
 
 
 
 

Downloading XEmacs

Please try and pick a site that is networkologically close to you. If you would like to mirror XEmacs or its website, please read the following documents :
To get started quickly: Use the precompiled executables that can be found in the binaries directory in the mirrors below. Binaries are made by volunteers, so they are not available for all supported platforms.
  • For Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP: We recommend getting the current stable version of XEmacs InnoSetup install kit (Install Now!), but there are a variety of versions of XEmacs and styles of installer available. These include both Cygwin and native Windows versions, as well as (older) versions using InstallShield or Wise installers. (For Cygwin versions, you will need to obtain the wonderful Cygwin UNIX emulation package from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ if you haven't already).
  • For UNIX: Oldish binaries for XEmacs 21.1.3 are available for Linux, Solaris, AIX, Irix, FreeBSD, NetBSD, HP/UX, and DEC OSF. Binaries for some version of XEmacs 21.4 are available for a few platforms. (21.4 was just promoted into the stable version, and 21.1 retired.) More binaries should be forthcoming, please check back later. You can also easily download and build the sources yourself on any of the vast number of supported platforms -- a sophisticated auto-configuring script is provided to simplify the process.
  • For MacOS: Use the port of XEmacs 19.14 to MacOS. A port of XEmacs 21.5.9 is now in alpha test.
  • Releases:
    Please consult the Release Notice Archive for recent releases and changes they contain.
    Here are some tips for manual navigation through the XEmacs download area:
  • The latest stable release can be found in directory current in the mirrors below.
  • The latest stable release candidate (``gamma'') can be found in directory gamma in the mirrors below. These releases are quite stable, as far as we know, and get more so with each release.
  • The latest developmental branch release can be found in directory beta in the mirrors below. Be warned, beta releases can be unstable.
  • The latest official xemacs package rleases can be found in directory packages in the mirrors below.
  • The latest xemacs pre-release packages can be found in directory beta/experimental/packages in the mirrors below. Be warned, pre-release packages can be unstable as they serve the purpose of initial testing and fast distribution of suggested fixes.
  • Unreleased developmental versions can be found at ../Develop/cvsaccess.html.
  • Some installation instructions are available. The XEmacs build process has changed with the 21.1 and 21.2 releases; please consult the instructions if you are upgrading from an older version!
     
     
     
     
     
     

    What Is Cygwin?

    Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:
  • A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
  • A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel.
    The Cygwin DLL works with all non-beta, non "release candidate", ix86 32 bit versions of Windows since Windows 95, with the exception of Windows CE.

    What Isn't Cygwin?

  • Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.
  • Cygwin is not a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX ® functionality, like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.
     

    Installing and Updating Cygwin

    The latest net releases of the Cygwin DLL are numbered 1.n.x, where "n" is currently "5" (e.g., 1.5.23). Any cygwin program built from December 1998 onward should work correctly with 1.n.x DLLs.
    The 1.n.x version numbering refers only to the Cygwin DLL. Individual packages like bash, gcc, less, etc. are released independently of the DLL. The setup.exe utility tracks the versions of all installed components and provides the mechanism for installing or updating everything available from this site for Cygwin.
    Run setup.exe any time you want to update or install a cygwin package.
    Note that, when installing packages for the first time, setup.exe does not install every package. Only the minimal base packages from the cygwin distribution are installed by default. Clicking on categories and packages in the setup.exe package installation screen will provide you with the ability to control what is installed or updated. Clicking on the "Default" field next to the "All" category will provide you with the opportunity to install every Cygwin package. Be advised that this will download and install hundreds of megabytes to your computer. The best plan is probably to click on individual categories and install either entire categories or packages from the categories themselves.
    Once you've installed your desired subset of the Cygwin distribution, setup.exe will remember what you selected so rerunning the program will update your system with any new package releases.
