Hi, I'm looking at building auctex within the XEmacs packages. I have come up with a solution which unfortunately requires modification to XEmacs.rules. I don't like that idea but I'm stuck. A suggestion for how to solve this locally in the auctex package is welcome. (Lengthy problem description follows.) One of the problems is to create the same auto-autoloads.el as the auctex standalone XEmacs package build procedure, e.g. make xemacs-package using the source distribution, does. The reason for this is that the auctex build procedure appends info after generating the auto-autoloads. For simulating this in the package tree I have added this rule to the Makefile. (Slightly simplified to show the point.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] EXTRA_AUTOLOADS_DEPENDENCIES = tex-site.el preview/auto.el include ../../XEmacs.rules $(AUTOLOAD_PATH)/auto-autoloads.el:: $(EXTRA_AUTOLOADS_DEPENDENCIES) cat tex-site.el >> $(AUTOLOAD_PATH)/auto-autoloads.el cat preview/auto.el >> $(AUTOLOAD_PATH)/auto-autoloads.el [...] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The EXTRA_AUTOLOADS_DEPENDENCIES is something I introduced in XEmacs.rules in order for the regeneration of auto-autoloads.el to kick in if the tex-site.el or preview/auto.el are changed. Otherwise only the rule above will fire and the files will be appended again. This is a similar problem to the handling of _pkg.el I guess. Here is the patch to XEmacs.rules. --- working directory: "/src/xemacs/packages/" % cvs diff -u XEmacs.rules Index: XEmacs.rules =================================================================== RCS file: /pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/packages/XEmacs.rules,v retrieving revision 1.59 diff -u -r1.59 XEmacs.rules --- XEmacs.rules 24 May 2007 20:22:29 -0000 1.59 +++ XEmacs.rules 7 Oct 2007 13:45:45 -0000 ＠＠ -462,11 +462,11 ＠＠ # rebuilding), then our suppress forms may have changed.
