Rootbeer is an old Win32 Unicode Joke.
There used to be a heavily-advertised beverage called A&W rootbeer.
CreateFileA, CreateFileW.

i'm not quite sure what you mean by "rootbeer". we try to reserve the
qxe() prefix for wrapping actual library functions; don't get in the
habit of trying to define your own qxe routines and then calling the
unwrapped library functions -- it's a bad idea for a whole lotta reasons.

Don't we already do that? I thought that was much of the point of the
Great Mule Merge of 21.5.6 or so. Ben?

font menu not workin in xemacs 21.5-b27+CVS-20061123 under Mac OS X 10.4.8
18 years
Artemio Gonzalez Lopez
Artemio Gonzalez Lopez
Dear Bug Team!
I just installed xemacs 21.5-b27+CVS-20061123 on a PowerBook G4 running
Mac OS X 10.4.8. Though "make" and "make install" were apparently
successful, the freshly installed xemacs has a serious problem with the
"Font" and "Font sizes" menus, namely when pulling both menus there are
no menu items, and a backtrace (attached below) is generated. Does
anybody have any idea what's going on?
Cheers,
Artemio
P.S. I don't know if this is related to the problem, but the default
font has changed from Monaco to what looks like Lucida Typewriter.
=========================================================================
(2) (event/warning) Error during menu callback: (void-function
(charset-registries))
Backtrace follows:

Robert,
I have tried making xemacs with the patched configure.ac file with the
following configure options:
./configure --prefix=/opt/local --datarootdir=/opt/local/lib
--datadir=/opt/local/lib --infodir=/opt/local/share/info
--mandir=/opt/local/share/man --with-site-prefixes=/opt/local
--disable-error-checking --with-ldap=no --with-postgresql=no
--with-default-eol-detection --without-mule --with-tty --with-ncurses
--with-scrollbars=motif --with-dialogs=motif --with-widgets=motif
--with-optimization
and it still fails at the end with the following error message:

Do you have any idea what could be the problem here? It seems to me that
the previous installation of xemacs in /usr/local (with no prefix, but
with --with-site-prefixes=/opt/local) may have a lot to do with my
problems, but I have no idea why ...
Cheers,
Artemio

darcs mirror of XEmacs repository available
18 years
Michael Sperber
Michael Sperber
I've created a darcs mirror (created via tailor) of the XEmacs repo
at:
http://www.deinprogramm.de/sperber/xemacs-darcs
Grab a copy via
darcs get http://www.deinprogramm.de/sperber/xemacs-darcs
(Please don't do this gratuitously. It's a lot of stuff, and I pay
for my own bandwidth.)
This is to enable some experimentation with the system, and comparison
with alternatives (such as git), so we can make an informed decision
about switching from CVS to a better alternative.

Hi everybody,
I had exactly the same problem as Robert with startup.el, but I think
the circumstances in which the problem arose in in my case may shed
light on the whole issue. I have 3 machines running OS X 10.4.8, on all
of which xemacs is regularly installed in /opt/local using the following
options:
./configure --prefix=/opt/local --infodir=/opt/local/share/info
--mandir=/opt/local/share/man --with-site-prefixes=/opt/local
--disable-error-checking --with-ldap=no --with-postgresql=no
--with-default-eol-detection --without-mule --with-tty --with-ncurses
--with-scrollbars=motif --with-dialogs=motif --with-widgets=motif
--with-optimization
On two of them I have been able to install the 20061123 CVS xemacs
21.5.27 normally. The problem arose in the third machine, when I first
(succesfully) moved the installation of xemacs to /usr/local (removing,
among other things, the --prefix option) and then (after deleting this
installation) tried to rebuild xemacs and install it back in /opt/local.
This has proved altogether impossible because of the problem with
startup.el (make fails with exactly the same error as Robert reported).
I even deleted the whole xemacs-21.5.27 source tree and copied it from
one of the machines which didn't suffer from this problem, to no avail.
The next thing I tried, on Robert's suggestion, was adding the following
options to configure:
--datarootdir=/opt/local/lib --datadir=/opt/local/lib
Now make goes much farther, almost to the end, but fails at the very
last minute with the following error:
Compiling
/Users/artemio/Archive/xemacs/xemacs-21.5.27/lisp/custom-load.el...

make: *** [src] Error 2
I would really appreciate if somebody suggested a workaround either for
this or for the original problem with startup.el, since I have no idea
what to try next.
Cheers,
Artemio

Robert, you've been building with '--with-union-type' for years now,
and never seen a problem, right? I guess we should get rid of the
warning about that, at least on Darwin.

I am afraid that it is not as easy as that. TeX converts some (but
quite often only a subset) utf8 bytes into ^^ab hexadecimal notation,
then it cuts the resulting strings short at a fixed distance of
characters (which may be in the middle of a ^^ab sequence) to the
front and back and uses that for a context to be identified in the
file.
So what we actually do is cutting away everything that may be part of
an incomplete ^^ab sequence at the start and end of the contexts, then
encode the result into a raw byte string according to the buffer
encoding, then redecode the result into the buffer encoding, chopping
away illegal utf-8 characters at the start and end of the context
afterwards.
And those strings can then be used for lookup in the buffer.
The problem is not that TeX's output is binary. The problem is that
it is a hodgepodge of binary bytes and transliterated binary bytes
(with the transliteration not respecting character boundaries) chopped
off somewhere without regard to character boundaries of either
originating utf-8 characters or even the transliterations of single
bytes of them.
While I'll agree immediately that some people ought to get
collectively have their heads examined for the combined effects
a) coming up with the idea of transliterating "unprintable" characters
in the terminal output.
b) finding nothing wrong with chopping such a transliteration in half
c) letting some bytes through unmolested depending on locale
d) making LaTeX deal with characters not in the current locale
e) making LaTeX deal with multibyte encodings without TeX itself
knowing about or supporting anything but 8-bit characters.
The result is a pain to work with. But there are no alternatives, and
actually nothing better one can do with the current code base.
And the point is that Emacs 22, even Emacs 21 _manage_ dealing with
this, even when (in a Latin-1 locale or a LaTeX that believes to be in
one) utf-8 sequences get only partly transliterated by TeX and thus
fails to be legal utf-8.

I guess your other subscribers all have VC6 installed :-)
Anyway, you don't have to turn off debugging. You can compile with /Zi,
and link with -debug while still using the redistributable runtime with
/MD or even /MT.

21.5 is still a beta release. I assumed the debugging info was useful
to the development community. I don't have a strong feeling one way
or the other; subscribers to xemacs-beta let me know how you think the
21.5 setup kits should be built.
