use Emacs as Scheme IDE

hello~
I am a Emacs beginner
I want to use Emacs as Scheme IDE (Interpreter and compiler) on windows XP
I add a following line to ".emacs" file
(require 'quack)

and open the Emacs
M-x  
run-scheme
(I tried racket, gracket, mzscheme)
and tried to evaluate the following code 
(require scheme/gui) or (require racket/gui)
(define f (new frame% (label "test")))
(send f show #t)

it doesn't working at all

is there anyway I can gui scheme programming on Emacs?(and image related programming)

김태윤,

I have no idea what quack/racket/gracket/mzscheme are.  However, M-x run-scheme is supposed to work...

...on a Linux system with Scheme installed.  The subrocess support tends to be hit-or-miss in Windoze systems, even with the target command(s) installed in the the %PATH%.  (Is there even a Scheme implementation for Windoze?).  Note that Scheme itself does not come with the Emacs distro; all that run-scheme does is start up an external Scheme process in an Emacs window, much the same way that M-x shell will start a sub-shell in a window (this one *does* work on Windoze, but who the heck wants a DOS shell...).

If your installed Scheme is called something other than "scheme", then you need to set (in your .emacs) the variable scheme-program-name to the string name of your Scheme system.

Status of EmacsW32

Hi,

I am a bit confused about the status of EmacsW32.
As far as I understand the development of the W32 add-on has stopped, 
but new Emacs versions are still released with the add-ons.

However, I have been using the patched version and it seems that only 
the unpatched version is updated with the most recent emacs.
Aren't the patches needed anymore?

Could anyone clarify what to do to update emacs? An BTW would it be 
possible to install emacs from gnu and do the W32 addons manually?

Regards,
Brian

No, it has not stopped, but I do not have much time for it now. I just
added a note on EmacsWiki that I actually upload more often then I
have told, but to a test area.

The patches are still not in Emacs - so yes they are needed if you want them.

You can not do the addons without compiling Emacs from sources.
(However of course nXhtml can be downloaded separately.)

My workaround is to pin emacs.exe to the taskbar and runemacs.exe to the
start menu.  When I want to start Emacs I have to use the shortcut in my
start menu, but once it is running I can just use its taskbar icon as
normal.  This works reasonably well for me because I typically start
Emacs once per desktop session and then just leave it running...
