Precompiled Distributions of
Emacs for Windows
- Version 22.1
+ Version 22.2
- May 22, 2007
+ March 26, 2008
This directory contains source and precompiled distributions for GNU
Emacs on Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows 95/98/Me. This port is a
If you want to redistribute any of the precompiled distributions of
Emacs, be careful to check the implications of the GPL. For instance,
- if you put the emacs-22.1-bin-i386.tar.gz file from this directory on
+ if you put the emacs-22.2-bin-i386.tar.gz file from this directory on
an Internet site, you must arrange to distribute the source files of
- the SAME version (i.e. ../emacs-22.1.tar.gz).
+ the SAME version (i.e. ../emacs-22.2.tar.gz).
Making a link to our copy of the source is NOT sufficient, since we
might upgrade to a new version while you are still distributing the
old binaries.
+* Files in this directory
+
+ + emacs-22.2-bin-i386.zip
+ Windows binaries of Emacs-22.2, with all lisp code and documentation
+ included.
+
+ Download this file if you want a single installation package, and
+ are not interested in the C source code for Emacs. After
+ unpacking, you can optionally run the file bin/addpm.exe to have
+ Emacs add icons to the Start Menu.
+
+ If you need the C source code at a later date, it will be safe to
+ unpack the source distribution on top of this installation.
+
+ + emacs-22.2-barebin-i386.zip
+ Windows binaries of Emacs-22.2, without lisp code or documentation.
+
+ Download this file if you already have the source distribution, or
+ if you need to redump the emacs.exe executable.
+
+ Unpack this over the top of either the source distribution or the
+ bin distribution above. It contains the bin subdirectory and etc/DOC
+ file, plus temacs.exe and dump.bat, which are required if you want to
+ redump emacs without recompiling it.
+
+ + libxpm-3.5.7-w32-src.zip
+ Source code required to compile libXpm-3.5.7 on Windows. Contains
+ a basic Makefile for compiling with mingw32 and a .def file for
+ generating a DLL with the appropriate exports in addition to the
+ source code to provide the subset of functionality Emacs uses from
+ libXpm. This corresponds to the libXpm.dll in emacs-22.2-bin-i386.zip
+ and emacs-22.2-barebin-i386.zip.
+
+
+ The following are provided for users who require older versions.
+
+ + emacs-22.1-bin-i386.zip
+ + emacs-22-1-barebin-i386.zip
+ Windows binaries of Emacs 22.1, contents as above.
+
+ + emacs-21.3-bin-i386.tar.gz
+ Windows binaries of Emacs 21.3, with compiled lisp code and some
+ documentation included.
+
+ + emacs-21.3-leim.tar.gz
+ Compiled lisp input methods. This optional addition to Emacs-21.3
+ is required if you want to enter languages that are not directly
+ supported by your keyboard.
+
+* Image support
+
+ Emacs 22.2 contains support for images, however for most image formats
+ supporting libraries are required. This distribution has been tested
+ with the libraries that are distributed with GTK for Windows, and the
+ libraries found at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/. The following image
+ formats are supported:
+
+ PBM/PGM/PPM: Supported natively by Emacs. This format is used for
+ the black and white versions of the toolbar icons.
+
+ XPM: a Windows port of the XPM library corresponding to the x.org
+ release of X11R7.3 is included with the binary distribution, but
+ can be replaced by other versions with the name xpm4.dll,
+ libxpm-nox4.dll or libxpm.dll.
+
+ PNG: requires the PNG reference library 1.2 or later, which will
+ be named libpng13d.dll, libpng13.dll, libpng12d.dll, libpng12.dll
+ or libpng.dll. LibPNG requires zlib, which should come from the same
+ source as you got libpng.
+
+ JPEG: requires the Independant JPEG Group's libjpeg 6b or later,
+ which will be called jpeg62.dll, libjpeg.dll, jpeg-62.dll or jpeg.dll.
+
+ TIFF: requires libTIFF 3.0 or later, which will be called libtiff3.dll
+ or libtiff.dll.
+
+ GIF: requires libungif or giflib 4.1 or later, which will be
+ called giflib4.dll, libungif4.dll or libungif.dll.
+
* Distributions in .tar.gz and .zip format
Emacs is distributed primarily as source code in a large gzipped tar file
but since there are no longer legal problems with .zip files, and the
latest versions of Windows support these natively, the Windows binaries
of Emacs are now distributed as .zip files.
- Here are the combinations (i386 in the name indicates a zipfile contains
- executables compiled for Intel-compatible x86 systems):
-
- + Primary precompiled distribution, including lisp source:
-
- emacs-22.1-bin-i386.zip
-
- NB: If you just want to run Emacs, get the distribution above.
-
- + Bare executables, useful if you want to get the complete source
- release, but can't compile Emacs yourself:
-
- emacs-22.1-barebin-i386.zip (requires ../emacs-22.1.tar.gz)
-
- + The complete official source for Emacs:
-
- ../emacs-22.1.tar.gz
* Distributions for non-x86 platforms
You may be prompted to rename or overwrite directories when using
djtarnt: simply type return to continue (this is harmless).
+ Zip files can be unpacked using unzip.exe from info-zip.org
+ if you do not already have other tools to do this.
+
+ % unzip some.zip
+
The precompiled binaries can be unpacked using unzip.exe from info-zip.org
if you do not already have other tools to do this.
