I there an easy way to build XEmacs from source? I mean a way that doesn't require me to mess around with the f'ing package system and that makes the .el files accessible?
I grab the source tarball, then grab the xemacs-sumo packages tarball and the xemacs-mule-sumo packages tarball (if you enable mule/unicode). Pick a directory where you want to install the xemacs binary, and extract the sumo tarballs in lib/xemacs. I never play around with the package system.
The sumo tarballs don't contain the source, AFAICT.
Are there no binaries for your platform?
At least in Debian stable is only 21.4 (without source).
Don't you miss the source? In Emacs C-h f displays the source file as a clickable link and I couldn't live without that.
I'll disable slime-autodoc for XEmacs as it is based and eldoc and the eldoc in XEmacs is from 2003 which doesn't have the hooks needed for slime-autodoc.
Ok, but I hope that doesn't disable the display to slime-typeout. If it does, I'll sorely miss that feature.
No that doesn't disable slime-typeout. But yes, slime-autodoc would be one of the better uses for the typeout frame.
