XEmacs 21.4.13 "Rational FORTRAN"

You may install either a cygwin or native windows version from one of our world-wide mirrors closest to you, by just clicking on setup.exe.

It will find the files via setup.ini and download them from the ftp mirror site you've chosen, e.g. http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/windows/win32/ and http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/ directories.

Choose "Install from the Internet", unless you want to "Download from the Internet" to a local directory, and then run setup.exe again to "Install from Local Directory".

Thanks go to Andy Piper for creating the XEmacs netinstaller based on Cygwin's. The latest list of mirrors is available as mirrors.lst.

Disclaimer

Currently these InstallShield binaries are significantly behind latest versions for the retired 21.1 and stable 21.4 releases. Please use the Netinstaller Binaries instead (see above), which can also install a native windows version of XEmacs.

Available Versions:: XEmacs-21.1.9 (not recommended); XEmacs-21.4.5; XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6) "Common Lisp (Windows)"; XEmacs 21.5 (beta17) "chayote"

These InstallShield executables are available from any XEmacs mirror, e.g. http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/binaries/win32/installshield/

The README file has the latest information about this directory.

Benefits of Cygwin for Native Windows XEmacs

Do not use Cygwin ftp in native Windows XEmacs! It does not work. Just rename cygwin/bin/ftp.exe to cygwin/bin/ftp.exe.orig and EFS should work as well.

Please see Cygwin Information and Installation for the details. Following programs are necessary to make the listed XEmacs Packages work on Windows.

XEmacs Package	Cygwin Program
debug	perl, python
ediff	diff, diff3
efs	use c:\WINNT\system32\FTP.EXE instead!
igrep	find, grep
ispell	aspell
jde	find, grep, xargs
pcl-cvs	cvs
prog-modes	perl, python
ocaml	find, grep, xargs
tramp	scp, ssh
vc	cvs, rcs
xemacs-base	grep

Various Binaries and Libraries

The file optional-libs.exe contains binaries for common graphics libraries needed for building XEmacs and for zlib, needed to support the PNG library. This isa self-extracting executable, which will install pre-built binaries for all of the optional graphics libraries needed by XEmacs, in the correct hierarchy as expected by XEmacs. Then just set the OPTIONAL_LIBRARY_DIR parameter to the appropriate directory in which you installed the libraries (by default, c:\src).

We no longer provide binaries for CVS, SSH or patch. If you want these, just install Cygwin, which provides versions of these and all other common Unix utilities, has an easy install program, and is frequently updated.
