Jared Brown

Hi. My name is Jared Brown, and I'm an XEmacs user. Up until this week, XEmacs was working fine for me. I have Microsoft Windows XP, and I'm using XEmacs to program in Scheme. Anyway, for some reason now, when I run xemacs.exe (under XEmacs 21.4), nothing happens. It's so odd. There are no error messages, no warnings, nothing. I don't even think a new process begins. Is there a workaround or a patch? Have you seen or heard of this before? Thanks! Jared

Old Win32 XEmacs on the web page 22 years, 5 months

Darryl Okahata

FYI, Someone (Adrian???) might want to check out the web page for ancient Win32 binaries. I've been hearing rumors (from within my company) about ancient Win32 XEmacs binaries on the XEmacs web site, and I just saw this posting on news. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo(a)soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

21.4.5: window_loop() no workee 22 years, 5 months

Darryl Okahata

[ Not yet submitted to xemacs-patches, because I want opinions on this. ] In XEmacs 21.4.5, I've noticed that `delete-windows-on' is broken when multiple devices are used. To reproduce: * Under X-windows, start: xemacs -q -vanilla * M-x start-gnuserv * Start up an xterm, and run gnuclient in the xterm (unset $DISPLAY before running gnuclient). * In the xterm XEmacs, create a buffer called "ddd". * Go back to the X-window XEmacs, and make sure that only the *scratch* buffer is shown (`C-x 1' if necessary). * In the X-windows *scratch* buffer, eval `(delete-windows-on "ddd")' Note that the buffer "ddd" in the xterm is unaffected; the window should have been deleted, but wasn't. I think I've tracked this problem down to window_loop(), which seems to have two bugs: 1. When determining the last window on a device, Fprevious_window() is allowed to search for windows across all devices, and is not restricted to the current device. This can cause problems in the subsequent code that loops over all windows on a given device, as the "last window" may never be found (as the "last window" may be on a different device). 2. window_loop() does have code to prevent an infloop, due to bugs like the above: /* Given the outstanding quality of the rest of this code, I feel no shame about putting this piece of shit in. */ if (++lose_lose >= 500) return Qnil; However, the "return Qnil" means that subsequent devices are never searched; I think this should really be a "break;", to allow subsequent devices to be searched. I've attached a patch that addresses both of these. Comments? I'll submit an official patch if people think this is correct. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo(a)soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

21.4.5 Can't "make-frame-on-display" 22 years, 5 months

Michal Ostrowski

After upgrading to 21.4.5 (from 21.4.4) I can no longer do a "make-frame-on-display", where the target display is a VNC display. 21.4.4 works just fine, whereas 21.4.5 spits out a slew of messages like the ones below and then hangs. Suggestions?

problems with compiling auctex 22 years, 5 months

Thomas Witzel

This might be slightly offtopic, but I just got xemacs-21.4.5 and tried to compile auctex-11.06 as well as auctex-10.0g with it. I always get this error: Compiling /scratch/auctex-11.06/auc-old.el... While compiling toplevel forms in file /scratch/auctex-11.06/auc-old.el: !! Symbol's value as variable is void ((popup-mode-menu)) >>Error occurred processing auc-old.el: Symbol's value as variable is void: popup-mode-menu Compiling /scratch/auctex-11.06/tex.el...

I would like to fix that problem on my machine and use xemacs with this auctex. Any suggestions how to interpret above message ? I know lisp and scheme but never wrote stuff for emacs/xemacs. thanks alot, Thomas Witzel

Manual-snip-subchapter 22 years, 5 months

Hrvoje Niksic

Why exactly does Manual-snip-subchapter default to t? It took me some time to find that `M-x man string(3tcl) RET' showing the string(3) man page was in fact a feature! The docstring says: *Should man look in chapter 3 for ctime(3c)? This is relevant for Solaris and, perhaps, other systems which have `man -s 3' not find things in chapter 3c, or other such sub-chapters Obviously, `man -s 3' not finding things in chapter 3c is not the only problem -- having foo(3c) and foo(3tcl) guarantees that `man -s 3' is the wrong thing to do. What I really don't understand is how this feature is ever useful. Why would I ever want Emacs to turn my explicit foo(3frobozz) into foo(3)? I would like this to default to f. Am I missing something?

default faces lose on Xemacs 21.4.5 --with-gtk 22 years, 5 months

John Paul Wallington

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. In XEmacs 21.4 (patch 5) "Civil Service" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Tue Nov 13 2001 on bundalo configured using `configure --with-gtk --prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=esd --mail-locking=flock --with-file-coding --debug' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: The default faces for zmacs-region and highlight aren't set under XEmacs 21.4.5 when built on my system. The same is true for XEmacs 21.5.3beta, but an early gtk-xemacs (which reports itself as XEmacs 21.1 (patch 12) "GTK" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Mon Nov 12 2001 on bundalo) does set zmacs-region and highlight.

missing default faces in 21.4.5 --with-gtk 22 years, 5 months

John Paul Wallington

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. I changed the To: from ＠cvs.xemacs.org to ＠xemacs.org. In XEmacs 21.4 (patch 5) "Civil Service" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Tue Nov 13 2001 on bundalo configured using `configure --with-gtk --prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=esd --mail-locking=flock --with-file-coding --debug' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I built 21.4.5 with --with-gtk. Faces such as zmacs-region and highlight aren't set to a default value. Default values aren't set in XEmacs 21.5.3 beta either. I have an ancient gtk-xemacs from Bill Perry's site that does set zmacs-region and highlight faces (it identifies itself as XEmacs 21.1 (patch 12) "GTK" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Mon Nov 12 2001 on bundalo).
