EMacro Libs requires EMacro v2.4.4 or higher.
All code in EMacro Libs that the packager is aware of, is GPL licensed. The GPL license is explained in the EMacro project's COPYING file, available at http://emacro.sf.net. However, as none of the included libraries are written by the EMacro project, it is your responsibility to read each file, to discover the actual license, as well as any missing files.
EMacro Libs does not guarantee to package the latest versions of all elisp libraries. Email if you find a package is out of date.
To use EMacro Libs without EMacro, or with versions older than v2.4.4, you must add
/usr/share/elisp
to your load-path
. Add the following
elisp code to your .emacs file, or for EMacro
users, to ~/emacs/e-path.el
:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/elisp")
Of course, if you are not using EMacro, you must still configure all of these libraries for use; this is the purpose of EMacro.
MS Windows has limited POSIX compliance. Sharing EMacro Libs between Emacs and XEmacs takes a little more effort. If you run both, the Windows setup package will install EMacro Libs for Emacs, only. Here are some alternate solutions, to get EMacro Libs to also work for XEmacs:
You may need to e-refresh
EMacro's
cache, before using EMacro Libs. Included are all
the elisp libraries supported by EMacro, which do
not require byte-compiling, and are portable between Emacs and XEmacs. The
following projects fail these criteria, and are missing from
EMacro Libs. These are mostly large packages, which
update more frequently, and are best downloaded directly:

EMacro also supports many binaries. No binaries ship with EMacro Libs. Many are commonly included, such as CVS or a web browser. Databases and compilers are also missing. Microsoft Windows users should install http://www.cygwin.com/ Here are some supported binaries you more likely will need to download:
