<h4>Installation of ECB for XEmacs users</h4>
<p>Basic requirement: ECB requires a XEmacs-version >= 21!
<p>For XEmacs-users it is strongly recommended to use the
package-management-system of XEmacs for first-time
downloading/installing ECB or for upgrading to a newer version of ECB.
Here is a short guide (for details about the package-manager of XEmacs
see the related info-manual):
<p><strong>Caution</strong>: If ECB is already installed and you just want
upgrading to a newer version then it is recommended to deactivate ECB
before proceeding with the steps below!
<ol type=1 start=1>
</p><li>Choose a download-site
<p>This can be done via the menu "Tools -> Packages -> Add Download
Site": Choose one of the listed sites. Or you can customize the
option <code>package-get-remote</code> by hand and save it for future
sessions.
</p><li>Activate the packages list
<p>This can be done either by the menu "Tools -> Packages -> List and
Install" or via the command <code>pui-list-packages</code>. After that a
special packages-buffer is displayed where you can interactively
install or upgrade packages. At the end of this buffer there is a
short description how to use this buffer.
</p><li>Install ECB and all required packages
<p>Mark the package named "ecb" for install. Do this also for the
required packages "semantic", "eieio" and "speedbar". The
package "mail-lib" is needed for easy submitting of problem-reports
to the ECB-maintainers and the package "c-support" is needed for
easy using hideshow within the Methods-buffer of ECB<a rel=footnote href="#fn-1"><sup>1</sup></a>.
<p>After marking all needed packages for installation hit <kbd>x</kbd> to
install them.
<p>If you have already installed ECB and you want just upgrading to the
latest available version then proceed as described above - same if you
want to upgrade one of the required packages.
</p><li>Start ECB
<p>Now you can immediately start ECB via the command <code>ecb-activate</code>;
there is no need to restart XEmacs! As an alternative you can first
read the online-help via <code>ecb-show-help</code>.
</ol>
<p>If you do not like the package-manager of XEmacs but you want
installing ECB "by hand" direct from the ECB-website then you have
to follow the instructions for GNU Emacs, see <a href="GNU-Emacs-Installation.html#GNU%20Emacs%20Installation">GNU Emacs Installation</a>.
<hr><h4>Footnotes</h4>
<ol type="1">
<li><a name="fn-1"></a>
<p>All
required packages can simply autom. marked by hitting <kbd>r</kbd> in the
packages buffer. But this installs a lot of packages more (e.g. the
Newsreader Gnus) which are really not essential for ECB. Therefore it
is recommended to mark the required packages by hand.</p>
