Request: Release binaries of xemacs for OpenNT 25 years, 4 months

Mark Hammond

OpenNT (www.opennt.com) is a full replacement for the posix subsystem of Windows NT. It turns a Windows NT machine into a completely posix compliant machine capable of running unix code natively. Thus using any X-server for windows (one is included with OpenNT) xemacs could be run natively on Windows NT machines without code modification. In theory, it should be a simple recompile to generate binaries on an OpenNT machine. (OpenNT includes gcc and all of the necessary development tools.) I would like to request that you release binaries for this platform! Thanks, Mark BTW - I haven't had much luck myself doing the compile, but I haven't really put much of any effort into it. I posted mail to the newsgroup comp.emacs.xemacs to see if anyone had already successfully done this, but haven't had much positive feedback.

Re: [PATCH] python-mode weirdness in xemacs-21.0b41 on Win98 25 years, 4 months

Python.exe was being passed as both argv[0] and argv[1], which clearly was making the interpreter unhappy. Getting "Execute buffer" to work requires this little patch of mine - the tempfile name passed to Python has backslashes in it, which again makes the interpreter unhappy. Even if I customize py-temp-dir to be C:/tmp instead of C:\tmp the temp file name created has the backslash instead of the forward slash. Here's a trivial patch to get python-mode working. There's probably a better way to do this, depending on whether we are on a Windows platform, etc, but the string replacement I do should be a no-op on Unix platforms. --- python-mode.el.orig Sat May 30 11:42:58 1998 +++ python-mode.el Sat May 30 11:43:06 1998 ＠＠ -1176,10 +1176,10 ＠＠ (format "python-%d" py-serial-number) (setq py-serial-number (1+ py-serial-number))) (make-temp-name "python"))) - (file (concat (file-name-as-directory py-temp-directory) temp))) + (file (replace-in-string (concat (file-name-as-directory py-temp-directory) temp) "\\\\" "/" ))) (write-region start end file nil 'nomsg) (cond - ;; always run the code in it's own asynchronous subprocess + ;; always run the code in its own asynchronous subprocess (async (let* ((buf (generate-new-buffer-name py-output-buffer))) (start-process "Python" buf py-python-command "-u" file)

[Patch] exact-minibuffer-completion-p 25 years, 4 months

Jeff Miller

I was having a problem with completing-read. The completion table that I was passing had some nil elements. This caused an error when I would try to hit TAB for completion. I was getting a "not char-or-string" error msg. i tracked it down to exact-minibuffer-completion-p. The error occurs when doing the (upcase tem). Try (upcase nil), you'll get the error. This work the same in XEmacs & Emacs. But, completion-read in Emacs doesn't barf if there are nil elements in the completion table. I tried looking at the "C" version of this minibuffer stuff in Emacs 20.2, and I think it is doing a nil test before doing the upcase. So I added one to our lisp version. Fixes the problem I was having and I don't think it screws anything else up.

It is a support lib of the GNOME project and does the same as your gifreader. Perhaps we can also use this one (just to keep the number of different giflibs low...). ftp://ftp.labs.redhat.com/pub/gnome/support/SRPMS/libungif-3.0-4.src.rpm Regards, Oliver.

python-mode weirdness in xemacs-21.0b41 on Win98 25 years, 4 months

Charles G Waldman

The subject says it all - I may be half-crazy to be running Win98 I know, but I wanted to test it out - I have the latest xemacs beta and it runs pretty well for most of what I do, until I try to open an interactive Python session - when I do: M-x python-mode C-c ! I get: File "c:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON\python.exe", line 1 MZ$L$PQè>＠ª330ª3::0ª3ª3 ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Process Python exited abnormally with code 1 Python 1.5 is installed at C:\Program Files\Python which is name-mangled to C:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON in my PATH setting. Typing "python" from a DOS prompt works fine.

itimer.el calls concat with integer arg 25 years, 4 months

In XEmacs 21.0 "Saanen" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.6, Mule) of Fri May 22 1998 on ra `activate-itimer' calls concat with an integer argument in 21.0-b40.
