Re: bbdb 1.18 problem w/ xemacs 21.1.4
On Tue, 19 Feb 2002, Mark Thomas muttered drunkenly:
The problem seems to be that in bbdb-com.el bbdb-event-to-character
is
being fset to event-to-character in an eval-when-compile form. That
form is not evaluated when the bbdb-com.elc file is loaded, so
bbdb-event-to-character is a void function.
Quite so.
I guess this is more of a BBDB problem, but it seems serious enough
IMO that v1.18 of the XEmacs BBDB package should not be released.
I dunno, the problem's not obvious if you don't use the BBDB. The fix is
tiny:
--- bbdb-com.el~ Mon Jan 28 21:57:24 2002

;; this is very unpleasant, but saves me doing a lot of rewriting
