I just tested that, works fine for me too. But in order to get the binary I
had to make some tweaks. First, the error:
./configure --disable-x11  --disable-xv  --disable-xrender --enable-tiny
--disable-png  --disable-plugins --disable-html

Should be okay, shouldn't it. This is on a prestine 0.3.1 source btw. with
only the above lines commented out.
Install prefix   /usr/local
Source path      /tmp/qemacs-0.3.1

am i found a bug ? and some questions too...

Hello,

I'm looking for a simple, but powerfull unicode (utf-8) text editor for linux, and currently trying
qemacs. I built version 0.3.1 from gentoo portage. I run "qemacs" to launch application, pressed C-h b and
got an empty help window. Any key pressed after that leads to "Segmentation fault". But if I invoke help
with F1, then C-h b works as expected.

Also I can't find two things in doc's:
1. How do I exit an appication, using keyboard
2. How to activate something like 'unicode-text' editing mode -> I need to edit some *.html pages,
containing cyrillic,
but when I do qemacs. index.html, it is invoked in html editing mode. When I try to switch to ASCII mode, it do
not show me Unicode (cyrillic) characters (only ASCII is shown, I suppose :)

I found qemacs to be a very interesting application but these thing prevent me from using it for everyday
needs. So I'm asking for help here.

Re: am i found a bug ? and some questions too...

Hi all,

The qemacs project has been asleep for a long time, while Fabrice and I were
busy with other projects.
I have made a number of fixes for the kind of problems that you encounter, but
alas haven't gotten around to committing them in the source tree yet.  I expect
to bring the project back to life early january 2005.

Also in the pipeline are a number of patches submitted to the list during the
past year or two.

There were a few issues with the popup window system that often lead to crashes
as you are experiencing.

I also beefed up the process buffer VT100 emulation to the point where it can
run midnight commander, full screen configuration utilities, and even qemacs
itself.  I haven't tried vim, but it should work !

Many small improvements were made to the command set to bring it closer to its
elders feel.

Extra modes were added, esp. code coloring for more languages.

UTF-8 fixes are in there too, and making qemacs the standard for editing utf-8
or unicode files is high on my agenda.

The main subject of brainstorming about qemacs has been the scripting language
extension: from the current crude config file interpreter, We have many choices
to select from.  My personnal preferences go toward this :
- C like syntax

line wrap question

Hi List.
I wanted to use qemacs as my mutt editor but have yet to find the option to
make qemacs wrap the line at 72. I looked at the docs, the source but I am
still lost. If someone could help me I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Robos
