XEmacs Package Installation
---------------------------

NOTE: XEmacs packages are currently supported only under XEmacs
versions after and including 20.5.  If you are not running such a
version of XEmacs, you should install the BBDB according to the
instructions in Note: Normal User.

Configuring / Byte Compiling
----------------------------

   The configuration and byte-compilation procedures are the same as in
the Normal User installation.  See Note: Normal User.

Moving the files to their final destination
-------------------------------------------

   Support is provided for the automatic installation of the BBDB in an
XEmacs package directory. The following `configure' options are
available for you:

`--with-package-dir=DIR'
     This option sets the root of the XEmacs package directory.  By
     default, `/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages' is used.

`--with-symlinks'
     If this option is used, the installation will be done by making
     symbolic links to the sources instead of copying the files.

`--with-linkpath=PATH'
     Without this option, the installation process uses the output of
     `pwd' to determine the current directory.  If something else should
     be used, you should provide an alternate name for the BBDB toplevel
     directory by using `--with-linkpath'.  If, for example, `pwd'
     returns `/p/local/elisp/bbdb', but you prefer to use
     `/usr/local/elisp/bbdb/...' for the links, usr this: `configure
     --with-linkpath=/usr/local/elisp/bbdb'.  This option is ignored if
     `--with-symlinks' is not used.

   To perform the (un)installation, use the command `make
(un)install-pkg'.  This will compile the `lisp/auto-autoloads.el' file
and will install the appropriate files to the appropriate places.  The
final installation tree will take the following form:

`$(PACKAGEDIR)/'

    `lisp/'

         `bbdb/'
               BBDB lisp source files.  This directory contains a copy
               of all `.el' and `.elc' files from the `lisp' source
               directory, or is a symbolic link to it.

    `info/'

         `bbdb.info*'
               BBDB documentation files.  These are either copies of
               the info files from the `texinfo' source directory, or
               are symbolic links to them.

    `etc/'

         `bbdb/'

              `tex/'
                    BBDB support files for bbdb-print.  This directory
                    contains a copy of the appropriate files from the
                    `tex' source directory, or is a symbolic link to it.

              `utils/'
                    BBDB miscellaneous utilities.  This directory
                    contains a copy of the appropriate files from the
                    `utils' source directory, or is a symbolic link to
                    it.
