howto install emacs under puppy

#1 Post by archwndas »

Hi there,
I would like to know if it is possible to have emacs installed
under puppy. I cannot work with any other editor. I need to
have emacs but unfortunately I can find it nowhere in the
precompiled packages e.t.c.

Can anybody help me?

Thank you all!
Simeon.

A quick forum search for "emacs" reveals:

http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Text_Editors/emacs-21.4.pup

in this thread.

There's a mirrored copy in my Puppy Linux Repository.

Always the first thing I install on any new system. Works good in Puppy.

Thank you very much for all the goodies in your ftp server.
I downloaded and installed emacs. I do have a problem though.
Do you know why in emacs when I press the delete key it behaves as
if I am pressing backspace? How can I fix that?

Thanks in advance!
P.S. It would be nice if you could compile vim .pup in your ftp server.
