Re: failed to built xemacs port on FreeBSD

I think you're going to have to learn more about the changes made to
your port relative to our code.  I can't reproduce with the code
straight from our repository, so it seems likely that some patch in
the FreeBSD port is responsible.

That's probably because it can find the package mule files in the
packages.  But that means that users trying to build the port have to
install the packages first, which should not be necessary.  And if
they happen to have .elcs that were built with 21.5 in their packages,
that build command will fail because the bytecode has changed and so
compiled Lisp is protected with a version check.

That's not what I asked for.  I know what is in lisp/ from the URL you
posted earlier, and I've already confirmed that it's what I expected.
So the problem is elsewhere.  What I can't do without a lot of
unnecessary effort is build XEmacs 21.4 on your platform.  You have
already done that to the point necessary, so please help me
investigate your XEmacs.

Please execute "strings ./xemacs | grep kana-keyboard" and tell me
whether there is any output, and if so, what it is.  While I'm
thinking about it, I'd also like to know the output of
"strings ./xemacs | grep /mule", and if there is none, also the output
of "strings ./xemacs | grep mule" (same as before, but no slash before
"mule").  If you get a complaint that "xemacs" is not found, use
"temacs" instead.
