<h4>Installation of ECB for XEmacs users</h4>

<p>Basic requirement: ECB requires a XEmacs-version &gt;= 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 -&gt; Packages -&gt; 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 -&gt; Packages -&gt; 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>
