Request: Release binaries of xemacs for OpenNT 26 years, 10 months

Mark Hammond

OpenNT (www.opennt.com) is a full replacement for the posix subsystem of Windows NT. It turns a Windows NT machine into a completely posix compliant machine capable of running unix code natively. Thus using any X-server for windows (one is included with OpenNT) xemacs could be run natively on Windows NT machines without code modification. In theory, it should be a simple recompile to generate binaries on an OpenNT machine. (OpenNT includes gcc and all of the necessary development … [View More]

Re: [PATCH] python-mode weirdness in xemacs-21.0b41 on Win98 26 years, 10 months

Barry A. Warsaw writes: > > looks like the xemacsers have a patch. does that do the trick? > The patch posted yesterday fixes the problem starting a Python buffer (thanks Kirill!). Python.exe was being passed as both argv[0] and argv[1], which clearly was making the interpreter unhappy. Getting "Execute buffer" to work requires this little patch of mine - the tempfile name passed to Python has backslashes in it, which again makes the interpreter unhappy. Even if I customize … [View More]

[Patch] exact-minibuffer-completion-p 26 years, 10 months

Jeff Miller

I was having a problem with completing-read. The completion table that I was passing had some nil elements. This caused an error when I would try to hit TAB for completion. I was getting a "not char-or-string" error msg. i tracked it down to exact-minibuffer-completion-p. The error occurs when doing the (upcase tem). Try (upcase nil), you'll get the error. This work the same in XEmacs & Emacs. But, completion-read in Emacs doesn't barf if there are nil elements in the completion … [View More]

python-mode weirdness in xemacs-21.0b41 on Win98 26 years, 10 months

Charles G Waldman

The subject says it all - I may be half-crazy to be running Win98 I know, but I wanted to test it out - I have the latest xemacs beta and it runs pretty well for most of what I do, until I try to open an interactive Python session - when I do: M-x python-mode C-c ! I get: File "c:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON\python.exe", line 1 MZ$L$PQè>＠ª330ª3::0ª3ª3 ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Process Python exited abnormally with code 1 Python 1.5 is installed at C:\Program Files\… [View More]
