speaking of crm.el ... 19 years, 1 month

Ben Wing

can anyone give a concise summary of the differences between completer.el, completion.el, icomplete.el and crm.el? i use completer and don't know about the rest, but completer, icomplete and crm, at least, all claim that they are some sort of minibuffer completion enhancers. ben

Tex-Mode not working in XEmacs 19 years, 1 month

H. Peter Gumm

I installed the native Windows port of XEmacs (XEmacs 21.4 (patch 13)) 1. When I load a latex-file XEmacs remains in raw mode 2. There is no menubar entry referring to TeX/LaTeX Entering the command M-x tex-mode gives me the error message "Symbol's function definition is void: regexp-opt" What to do ? Peter

Problem with new configure? 19 years, 1 month

robert delius royar

OS: Mac OS X 10.4.2 CC: gcc 4.00 XEmacs: 21.5.b22 (+CVS-20051022) configure: aclocal: 1.9.5 autoconf: 2.59 Neither --disable-error-checking nor --without-error-checking work. Is there a new way to turn error checking off? The version from an earlier CVS (+CVS-20051018) supported --disable-error-checking. -- Dr. Robert Delius Royar Associate Professor of English Morehead State University Morehead, Kentucky

[Q] [PATCH] Configure fixes for motif and error-checking. 19 years, 1 month

Stephen J. Turnbull

>>>>> "Malcolm" == Malcolm Purvis <malcolmp(a)xemacs.org> writes: Malcolm> This patch fixes the recently reported problems with Malcolm> --disable-error-checking Unfortunately, for me it is no longer possible to select individual types. --enable-error-checking=none and --enable-error-checking=all both work as advertised, but --enable-error-checking=gc,types,extents and --enable-error-checking=gc both produced the same result as --enable-error-checking=all: all of the individual ERROR_CHECKING_* macros in src/config.h were #define'd to 1. Sorry I can't do more than report at this point. BTW, is there a use for the #ifdef ERROR_CHECKING_ALL clause at the bottom of config.h? Eg, does make CFLAGS=-DERROR_CHECKING_ALL magically turn on error checking? But I don't see how that can work with either "touch src/config.h" or "make clean", so it seems like an invitation to confusion at best. Maybe that should be made gone.

package site information more dynamically updateable (was: [21.5R21.4] Sync packages mirrors list with website) 19 years, 1 month

Maybe move it to xemacs-base? Hi Ville! XEmacs' package system is not functional without xemacs-base, dired, efs. So, unless we switch to a http package installation system, these are all destined to go into XEmacs core. I'm jumping to conclusions a bit, but I guess you see my point. Alternatively, we could just publish (defcustom package-get-download-sites and (defcustom package-get-pre-release-download-sites somewhere. Putting them into the package-index could be a bit scary, I guess. What are others thoughts? -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/

New version of savehist 19 years, 1 month

Hrvoje Niksic

Here is the next version of savehist, after no less than eight years. New features: - autosaving of histories - reliable handling of non-printable items in variables - attempt to use a re-readable coding system under Mule (minibuffer histories can easily contain characters other than those handlable by the user's language environment), with the possibility of affecting the coding system used. Please let me know if it works for you.

Crashing SUSE 10.0 xemacs with c++-mode 19 years, 1 month

Ulrich Müller

Hi. I'm currently using SUSE 10.0 (commercial version) xemacs (version info: [version 21.5.21 of February 2005 (+CVS-20050720)] ). I can easily crash it using the attached 'custom.el' Procedure: Open a file (F3): foo.cc (it goes into c++-mode and font-lock-mode) Write: #include<iostream When type the closing '>' it crashes. I've experimented a bit, and it looks like it has something to do with the 'font-lock-mode'. If it is not enable at start-up (commenting out the 'load "font-lock"') it is not happening The output trace is attached too. I can't send you a core because I have only a modem. But you can do one on your own. I've tested this on several diffent machines (all running SUSE 10.0). The result can be reproduced. MfG UM

cmr.el (completing-read-multiple) in XEmacs 19 years, 1 month

Reiner Steib

Hi, Arne Jørgensen wrote improved completing support for inserting stuff like "\usepackage[bar,baz,zab]{foo}" in AUCTeX. The function needs `completing-read-multiple' from `crm.el'[1] which is available in Emacs 21 and Emacs 22 (CVS[2]), but not in XEmacs. We found that `riece.el'[3] which is available as an XEmacs package seems to duplicate some code from `crm.el' for XEmacs. Wouldn't it make much more sense to include `crm.el' in `xemacs-base', some utility package or distribute it as a separate package instead of duplicating it's code in several packages? Bye, Reiner.
