Emacs 22 was not yet released, but you can find the binary on the same
site as emacsW32: there's an unpatched binary there.

Emacs 22 carries Tramp 2.0. The OP wants to install Tramp 2.1, which
is different.

Eli, I don't want to mess with you :-)

Tramp 2.1 is an experimental release, that's true. But the OP was
explicitely speaking about Tramp 2.1.7, and I'm happy about every
tester. This will change its experimental status faster into a
reliable one.

Best regards, Michael.

Hi all.

I've been browsing through the list archives but I still don't
understand how to install tramp to work with normal emacs [not xemacs
or emacsW32] on XP. Someone says that emacs22 already has tramp but I
don't see the binary at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ .

This is what I've tried so far:
1. Downloaded cygwin
2. Downloaded tramp
3. Unpacked tramp to C:\Program Files\emacs\emacs-21.3\tramp-2.1.7
4. change directory to the tramp-2.1.7 directory
5. ./configure --with-contrib --with-lispdir='C:/Program
Files/Emacs/site-lisp' --infodir='C:/Program Files/Emacs/info'

I get the response
: command not found4:
./configure: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
./configure: line 24 'case set -o 2> /dev/null' in *posix *>set -o
posix;;' sac

I am assuming this is some problem with cygwin. Any ideas how to do
this correctly?

I rather gathered that the OP wants a _working_ Tramp, in which case
trying to use the latest and greatest instead of a version that works
out of the box is something I wouldn't recommend.
