here are some brief notes on how i play gnugo in an emacs buffer:

  - install latest ttn-pers-elisp

  - add to ~/.emacs the form:

    (eval-after-load "gnugo"
      '(progn
         (setq gnugo-xpms (fulminate-gnugo-xpms 'ttn :square 42))
         (provide 'gnugo-xpms)
         ;; note: this last one has personal preferences; it's a good
         ;;       idea to copy it to my-gnugo-extra.el first so that you
         ;;       can choose (and modify) what you want from your copy
         (load "gnugo-extra")))

  - start emacs

  - type: M-x gnugo RET



here is an older method (that still works quite well):

  - install latest ttn-pers-elisp (or alternatively for "bare
    minimum requirements", arrange to load gnugo.el extracted
    from latest ttn-pers-elisp and byte-compiled)

  - unpack mokuxpms-3.tar.gz (from this directory) somewhere

  - mkdir -p ~/.emacs.d/gnugo/

  - cd mokuxpms-3 && 
    make && 
    cp -pf default-gnugo-xpms.el ~/.emacs.d/gnugo/

  - add to ~/.emacs the form:

    (eval-after-load "gnugo"
      '(load-file "~/.emacs.d/gnugo/default-gnugo-xpms.el"))

  - start emacs

  - type: M-x gnugo RET

  - type: i



here is the oldest method (for text-only sessions):

  - install latest ttn-pers-elisp

  - start emacs

  - type: M-x gnugo RET
