bug in src/Makefile.in EXTW_LINK() 27 years, 1 month

Colin Rafferty

Hi- I have been gone for a while, but now I'm back. I'm at a new job, where we use XEmacs external widgets for our applications. 20.4 external widget doesn't compile frame-x.c, but the fix was simple, and I see that the change is in 21.0-b41. On the other hand, src/Makefile.in (lines 229--248) has a #define construct for EXTW_LINK(). This is in both 20.4 and 21.0-b41. This function-style #define does not work, since on line 70, there is a `#define NOT_C_CODE', and I think that this makes function macros fail. Anyway, this is easily seen by looking in the generated src/Makefile (given a configure --external-widget). I am not sure what the best way to fix this is. In order to build, I have an ugly hack, but I don't want other people to see it. Can someone give me a hand with this? I would really like to have this fixed officially. Thanks a lot. -- Colin

I did not try MINIMAL_TAGBITS by itself. Thanks for the hints, I'll give it another go tonight. Sean

So we need to convert > the .au's to .wav's and ship both? Unfortunately, the NAS code only handles .au's and not .wav's. It would be nice if XEmacs NAS code did. (NAS itself does support .wav's except the ADPCM ones.) Ray

Since we're under an `xemacs' directory, what sort of packages could we have appart from *xemacs* packages ?! This xemacs- prefix sounds quite meaningless to me. --Didier

3d object face patch 27 years, 1 month

Andy Piper

This is my 3d-object (was widget) face patch without the controversial default setting that Kyle hates so much. Hey, with this the whole modeline is set to the bg pixmap of the default face under mswindows - so even Kyle might approve :) andy 1998-05-27 Andy Piper <andyp(a)parallax.co.uk> * faces.c: create a new 3d_object_face, make modeline and vertical_divider faces fallback to this rather than the default. 1998-05-27 Andy Piper <andyp(a)parallax.co.uk> * msw-faces.el: set 3d-object face rather than modeline. Specifiy faces as specfier defaults. * package-get.el: don't use package-admin-add-single-file-package. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- " .sigs are like your face - rarely seen by you and uglier than you think" Dr Andy Piper, Technical Architect, Parallax Solutions Ltd mail: andyp(a)parallax.co.uk web: www.parallax.co.uk/~andyp
