Hey there,
I've been using emacs for quite a few years, but never byte compiled
anything until I started using the JDE... so bear with me. I've
checked all the documentation and FAQs I could find, but I'm still a
bit confused. I've byte compiled all the JDEE packages a number of
times, but gotten errors every time: this time I've got a shiny new
machine and I'd like to actually see if I'm compiling everything
correctly.
It may be possible that I don't have some of the requirements for
compiling the packages, since I'm getting a lot of "function not
found"s, but I can't find any documentation.
Going really slowly, here's what I get when I try to compile eieio
(0.17beta3, but I get similar errors with 0.16):

From the script, you might guess that I'm running W2k with the
latest Cygwin tools. Anyhow, I get the *.elc files, but I'm worried
by messages like:
** The following functions are not known to be defined:
describe-function-find-file, eldoc-print-fnsym-args
And:

I also get similar errors trying to compile speedbar and the like.
Are these "normal?" Am I missing a dependency (the only one I could
find was the note in the JDE's makefile concerning elib, which I have
byte compiled and installed with no errors).
Thanks much.
