Hi, the next release of ECB differs from current 1.08 concerning requirements: Next contains a hard (require 'speedbar) and calls hs-minor-mode at runtime from the hideshow.el library. Now i have tried to add "hideshow" to the REQUIRES section of the Makefile but then i get always the following error when i run "make": /C/Programme/XEmacs/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/xemacs -no-autoloads -vanilla -batch -eval '(setq stack-trace-on-error t load-always-display-messages t load-ignore-out-of-date-elc-files t load-show-full-path-in-messages t)' -l /c/Programme/XEmacs/cvs-package-tree/packages/package-compile.el -- xemacs-base semantic eieio fsf-compat edit-utils jde mail-lib eshell ediff xemacs-devel speedbar hideshow -- -l overlay -l compile -l timer -l ecb-util -l ecb-eshell -l ecb-layout -l tree-buffer -l esh-mode -l em-dirs -l jde-help -l semantic -l semantic-load -l semanticdb -l sendmail -l ediff-init -l speedbar - hideshow -f batch-byte-compile auto-autoloads.el Loading /C/Programme/XEmacs/lib/xemacs-21.4.13/lisp/auto-autoloads... # bind ( stack-trace-on-signal debug-on-signal stack-trace-on-error debug-on-error) signal(wrong-type-argument (stringp nil)) # bind (data error-symbol) signal-error(wrong-type-argument (stringp nil)) # bind (error-data) normal-top-level() # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...)
