How to build XEmacs packages from source? 25 years, 6 months

José Romildo Malaquias

I could not find any documentation on how to build packages from the source distribution. I want to build a XEmacs package for the Haskell mode (http://www.haskell.org/haskell-mode/) but I do not know how. Also I want to update my AucTeX mode to a more recent version. Again I do not know how to build the binary package from the sources. Any help? Prof. José Romildo Malaquias <romildo(a)iceb.ufop.br>

Re: format-alist mangled 25 years, 6 months

It nice that XEmacs can use magic numbers to identify file types. Maybe the mode setting part of this should be rethought. Also in the message above Kyle really needs a version of insert-file-contents-literally that really does what its name says, i.e. all file name handlers that do not change the content are still allowed. Maybe the best way to do this to make "insert-file-contents-literally" a file-name handler operation. Thinks like efs and rrsh.el could then define this but jka-compress not. Jan

Colin Rafferty <craffert(a)ms.com> writes: > Why did you remove all the image formats from format-alist? Because they were creating many problems. Because of them, it was almost impossible to say edit an XPM file. They tried to do their stuff even on textual devices, which was clearly wrong. They even hooked into the insertion code so `C-x i' didn't work. The "format" decoding functions are designed for converting data for one format to another. If you convert something to image, it is no longer editable. If we wish to add such functionality, it will have to be done at a higher level.

Note that you can get them back with (setq debug-issue-ebola-notices t). Provided you compile XEmacs with debug support on, of course.

[Failure] 21.2b14 25 years, 6 months

Neal D. Becker

21.2b14 --no-mule i686-pc-linux-gnu Even manually fixing the scripts so that mule is detected as NIL, removing all .elc's from the source directory and rebuilding from scratch, C-x m gives: Symbol's value as variable is void: mime-charset-coding-system-alist Loading message... PGP version set to GPG. Loading mc-setversion...done Loading mc-setversion... ... Where is the mime-charset... coming from? Is this mule-related?
