Re: xemacs-packages won't build - error in auctex 11 years, 8 months

Jeff Sparkes

To quote my last reply which went to Mats only > I bet he's building on cygwin. There's a reader bug in reading certain utf-8 characters that I've run into. I'll follow up with more information tomorrow when I have access to my cousin install at work. This was a problem with org-mode as well. There used to be a problem in org-mode/lisp/org-entities.el with the "trade" definition. The ™ char used to show up as ", which broke parsing of the line. There was a similar char in auctex/tex-jp.el that turned into a double quote as well. I don't see either of them right now, and my cygwin is broken so that I can't recompile. The bug is still there though, instead of ™ there's a ~ displayed. I just copied and pasted that char into this email and it came out as ™, so it might just be a display issue. There are several more ~ in the file; I seem to recall that is what shows up if the font doesn't have that char? No, I'm using the same font in emacs and xemacs; emacs is displaying the TM correctly.

Problems with Windows native build VS 2010 Express 11 years, 8 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, Thought I should test my file-attributes code on native Windows. Being away from a Windows day job (:-)) at the moment all I have is access to the free Express versions. The build complains about not finding the manifest file. (If details are need I'll come back with those.) With VS 2013 I think I was also able to convert the old project files and get a solution file, sln and build it that way. But this fails too (and I regret now that I didn't push the sln-file et al then.) >From what I know the tool chain is more or the less the same for the commercial versions oc VS so they are likely to have the same problem. I'm also on an XP machine which seems to rule out the 2012 version of VS so that is not an option. So help is needed.

static xemacs build problem 11 years, 8 months

Is this the correct flag to create a statically linked xemacs? --without-dynamic I tried this but configure fails to complete. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

GNU Emacs file-attributes 11 years, 8 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, I looked a bit closer at find-lisp.el from GNU Emacs and found that GNU Emacs file-attributes has an optional parameter id-format. The user id and group id can be returned as their string representation instead of as integers. It seems like it is used to some small extent in GNU Emacs so it might show up in other packages as well. Any views on adding this optional argument to our version of file-attributes for compatibility?

GNU Emacs position-bytes? 11 years, 8 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, GNU Emacs has the function position-bytes. Doc: Function: position-bytes position Return the byte-position corresponding to buffer position position in the current buffer. As I get it it is for handling the two ways text can be represented in GNU Emacs. unibyte or multibyte. (If chars are represented by more than one byte then the byte position in the buffer for a char isn't equal to the position in the text.) So for example: if you stream out a buffer to an external program you can point to the right spot in the stream for it to start whatever it wants to do. Sounds a bit dirty though. How should we deal with elisp using position-bytes? Can we support it?

list meta-topic 11 years, 8 months

rh

I've noticed that when I post to the list (via gmane) there's a delay. Maybe the list is moderated. Fine with me. But I also have found that some messages never arrive. gmane will not answer any questions about how they post to lists. i.e. they won't say if they use a fire-and-forget mode of posting or if there's any information about gmane's efforts to post, etc. I have seen bounce-back messages on some lists that are completely broken so gmane seems to do the right thing. And gmane can't know what software it's talking to, although it appears that gmane posts via SMTP, so gmane seems to keep it simple. Maybe this message just serves as an FYI. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Re: xmodmap, Caps Lock, super hyper 11 years, 8 months

steven Mitchell

Uwe, I am not sure which keys you want to define with Hyper_L. When a key is defined with "keycode <code> =" it is followed by a list of one or more items. the first one is Hyper_L with no other modifiers, the next one is Hyper_L with the shift also held down, third is for some keyboards that use special language keys, fourth is both shift and special language keys, (and there can be 4 more that I do not know what they do, except hints that one might be num_lock). I used xmodmap to see how my left windows key is setup, and it has: keycode 133 = Super_L NoSymbol Super_L (that is slackware using KDE) Probably works the same way for Hyper_L I'm just saying you might want to consider adding some of the rest of the possible values in the list after the "=" so you can define more keys more completely. One example, and I'm not sure if it is the best example, is something like Hyper_L + %, which is shifted-5 on the keyboard and may be affected by whether there is a shift definition in the list for keycode 133. Stephen, I know this does not answer Uwe's question completely, but I thought it would be germane to defining Hyper completely.

Help needed in understanding keymaps 11 years, 8 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, I stumbled on this code fragment with keymaps in GNU Emacs lisp and I wonder how it should be implemented properly. As Googling didn't answer this I turned to the list. Gnu version: (use-local-map (append (make-sparse-keymap) (current-local-map))) As I get it keymaps are objects in XEmacs so appending them doesn't work. GNU Emacs also have functions for dealing with keymaps so even there maybe appending keymaps isn't the best thing!? Maybe use inheritance there as well? Is this the proper XEmacs implementation of the code above? (use-local-map (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap))) (set-keymap-parent map (current-local-map)) map)) Finally - Does this code make sense?

Hyper-% 11 years, 8 months

steven Mitchell

Uwe, Sorry I wasn't more clear. When I was saying Hyper + %, what I was referring too was not with xmodmap, I was talking about key combinations defined in XEmacs. One example is a command defined now, called replace on the menu, that is also executed as M-%, but percent is not available on most keyboards unshifted, so the keys you press for M-% is 3 keys: Meta, shift, and also number 5. Worse is replace>regex query on the menu, which is mapped in as C-M-%, so you have to hold down 4 keys at once: Control, Meta, shift, and number 5! What I was suggesting was that the second item in the list for keycode 133 = <list>",i.e. for the shift key modifier in conjunction with Hyper might work differently if that is defined as NoSymbol, that it might affect hyper-with-shift combinations (like percent being shift-5--might be affected by how the second element in the list is defined.
