Re: Xemacs does not show lovely shell colors

Reposting to xemacs-beta. Please do not take threads off the mailing list into private mail unless you are really sure that's the right thing to do. It's impolite, it cheats other readers, and it may cheat you if someone who knows more than I do _doesn't_ see your followup. >>>>> "Joachim" == Joachim Deguara <dga(a)emt.iis.fhg.de&gt; writes: Joachim> but I cant get my .emacs file right to have the colors Joachim> working when i do a compile (a compile from "M-x compile" Joachim> and not in the shell The shell probably is recognized as a TTY, while M-x compile is not. Most likely you are using the color-gcc script; probably it has an option or environment variable that allows you to tell it it should colorize even when stdout is not a TTY. You can set that environment variable before starting XEmacs, or with `setenv'. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
