XEmacs help

Jared Brown
Hi. My name is Jared Brown, and I'm an XEmacs user. Up until
this week, XEmacs was working fine for me. I have Microsoft
Windows XP, and I'm using XEmacs to program in Scheme. Anyway,
for some reason now, when I run xemacs.exe (under XEmacs 21.4),
nothing happens. It's so odd. There are no error messages, no
warnings, nothing. I don't even think a new process begins. Is
there a workaround or a patch? Have you seen or heard of this
before?
Thanks!

Old Win32 XEmacs on the web page
23 years, 11 months

FYI,
Someone (Adrian???) might want to check out the web page for
ancient Win32 binaries. I've been hearing rumors (from within my
company) about ancient Win32 XEmacs binaries on the XEmacs web site, and
I just saw this posting on news.

21.4.5: window_loop() no workee
23 years, 11 months

[ Not yet submitted to xemacs-patches, because I want opinions on this. ]
In XEmacs 21.4.5, I've noticed that `delete-windows-on' is broken
when multiple devices are used. To reproduce:
* Under X-windows, start: xemacs -q -vanilla
* M-x start-gnuserv
* Start up an xterm, and run gnuclient in the xterm (unset $DISPLAY
before running gnuclient).
* In the xterm XEmacs, create a buffer called "ddd".
* Go back to the X-window XEmacs, and make sure that only the *scratch*
buffer is shown (`C-x 1' if necessary).
* In the X-windows *scratch* buffer, eval `(delete-windows-on "ddd")'
Note that the buffer "ddd" in the xterm is unaffected; the window should
have been deleted, but wasn't.
I think I've tracked this problem down to window_loop(), which
seems to have two bugs:
1. When determining the last window on a device, Fprevious_window() is
allowed to search for windows across all devices, and is not
restricted to the current device. This can cause problems in the
subsequent code that loops over all windows on a given device, as
the "last window" may never be found (as the "last window" may be on
a different device).
2. window_loop() does have code to prevent an infloop, due to bugs like
the above:
/* Given the outstanding quality of the rest of this code,
I feel no shame about putting this piece of shit in. */
if (++lose_lose >= 500)
return Qnil;
However, the "return Qnil" means that subsequent devices are never
searched; I think this should really be a "break;", to allow
subsequent devices to be searched.
I've attached a patch that addresses both of these. Comments? I'll
submit an official patch if people think this is correct.

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
- started xemacs-21.4.5 under gdb
- M-x make-frame-on-display
- Specified display ":5" --- a VNC display on the local host
- Some error messages generated, then process hangs
- C-c in gdb and obtained back-trace below

21.4.5 Can't "make-frame-on-display"
23 years, 11 months
Michal Ostrowski
Michal Ostrowski
After upgrading to 21.4.5 (from 21.4.4) I can no longer do a
"make-frame-on-display", where the target display is a VNC display.
21.4.4 works just fine, whereas 21.4.5 spits out a slew of messages like
the ones below and then hangs.
Suggestions?

problems with compiling auctex
23 years, 11 months
Thomas Witzel
Thomas Witzel
This might be slightly offtopic, but I just got xemacs-21.4.5 and tried to
compile auctex-11.06 as well as auctex-10.0g with it. I always get this
error:
Compiling /scratch/auctex-11.06/auc-old.el...
While compiling toplevel forms in file /scratch/auctex-11.06/auc-old.el:

I was browsing and googling for a while and found only messages that one
should use a binary distribution than and so forth. I would like to fix
that problem on my machine and use xemacs with this auctex. Any
suggestions how to interpret above message ? I know lisp and scheme
but never wrote stuff for emacs/xemacs.
thanks alot, Thomas Witzel

Manual-snip-subchapter
23 years, 11 months
Hrvoje Niksic
Hrvoje Niksic
Why exactly does Manual-snip-subchapter default to t? It took me some
time to find that `M-x man string(3tcl) RET' showing the string(3) man
page was in fact a feature!
The docstring says:
*Should man look in chapter 3 for ctime(3c)?
This is relevant for Solaris and, perhaps, other systems which have
`man -s 3' not find things in chapter 3c, or other such sub-chapters
Obviously, `man -s 3' not finding things in chapter 3c is not the only
problem -- having foo(3c) and foo(3tcl) guarantees that `man -s 3' is
the wrong thing to do. What I really don't understand is how this
feature is ever useful. Why would I ever want Emacs to turn my
explicit foo(3frobozz) into foo(3)?
I would like this to default to f. Am I missing something?

default faces lose on Xemacs 21.4.5 --with-gtk
23 years, 11 months
John Paul Wallington
John Paul Wallington
This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
In XEmacs 21.4 (patch 5) "Civil Service" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Tue Nov 13 2001 on bundalo
configured using `configure --with-gtk --prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=esd --mail-locking=flock --with-file-coding --debug'
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
The default faces for zmacs-region and highlight aren't set under
XEmacs 21.4.5 when built on my system. The same is true for XEmacs
21.5.3beta, but an early gtk-xemacs (which reports itself as XEmacs
21.1 (patch 12) "GTK" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Mon Nov 12 2001 on
bundalo) does set zmacs-region and highlight.

I changed the To: from ＠cvs.xemacs.org to ＠xemacs.org.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I built 21.4.5 with --with-gtk. Faces such as zmacs-region and
highlight aren't set to a default value. Default values aren't set in
XEmacs 21.5.3 beta either. I have an ancient gtk-xemacs from Bill
Perry's site that does set zmacs-region and highlight faces (it
identifies itself as XEmacs 21.1 (patch 12) "GTK" [Lucid]
(i686-pc-linux) of Mon Nov 12 2001 on bundalo).
