I'm trying to compile emacs against neXtaw (an Xaw replacement based on
NextStep), but I can't get it to work. First I tried with the emacs20
that comes with slink, but it didn't work, so I downloaded 20.5a from
potato and tried to compile that. Still no luck.

I first tried to do what the instructions in
/usr/doc/nextawg/README.Debian, but that didn't work. Running ldd on the
emacs binary told me why: that binary doesn't use Xaw at all. Hmm.
That's when I tried to recompile it.

First, I edited src/Makefile.in to change -lXaw to -lneXtaw, and then
changed debian/rules to call ./configure with --with-x-toolkit=athena.
This produced the exact same binary that came with slink. Then I tried
making the same changes to the potato sources, and I still get a binary
that doesn't use athena at all.

Is there any way to do this?
