New Emacs 23 W/ Xft And Cjk Support!, Full packages, PIM-suite, Newbie docs Options

[ZDevil]

Hello there,

Finally after many trials and failures (thanks to the wrong pointers in many headers ... ), i got the latest CVS XftGnuEmacs (23.0.0.1) compiled with Gtk and Xft support.

My target is to get this work on my Z: http://www003.upp.so-net.ne.jp/quasi/red/p...browser-en.html

Previous discussions about compiling this version are here:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=23386

It's a giant build -- 80MB in total! Built with the native zgcc 3.4.6 on Beta3, and optimized with "-O2 -mcpu=xscale -mtune=iwmmxt". Binaries stripped.

Just played it for a few minutes. It feels quite responsive and things seem to be working well.

So before I put it in the "New Package Announcement" thread, I would like to put it here for those interested to try it out and test to see if it is really stable enough.

Also I've got a couple of questions:
1) For now I simply make it in one giant package. But it's a monstrous 80MB with tons and tons of scripts and modes (the .el). The binaries themselves are not so small either -- roughy 30MB.
So my question is: what would be the best way to break this giant build down into several smaller ones?

2) Still wondering if scim/gcin/uim can work in this Emacs build. Please tell me if you got it working!

Strange. Despite the forum upload limit is 50MB, I just can't get the package (around 30MB) uploaded successfully. After the forum seems to finish uploading my package the window flashes to the forum main page leaving the post unmodified.
So for the time being please use this link:

(There is also an alternative RapidShare download link in Post #7)

Update:

I got SCIM to input Chinese characters!

It's done in GtkTerm2. No special tweak.
Run emacs -nw (without --enable-font-backend)



If this really works then I will also build a lighter one without X and GTK support.
