Re: Inhibit help echo while in the minibuffer 25 years, 4 months

This is something that has annoyed me for a long time too. Another annoying thing is that sometimes, an active minibuffer (with a y-or-n question for instance) can be hidden by a message in the echo area. You have to move the leave and re-enter the frame with the mouse to see the minibuffer again. This makes me think that I would prefer to have separate zones for the minibuffer and the echo area. Along with the same lines, what I'd like to have is one minibuffer per frame (not following the focus) that could be used simultaneously without requiring recursion. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.

We've actually added HTTP support to our auto-socksifier. So that you can tunnel all TCP/IP traffic through the web server like this. You can actually traverse multiple ones too - it's fun testing things like 'ftp client -> HTTP -> socksv4 -> socksv5 -> ftp server' - just _TRY_ to figure out what step in the chain is going wrong when your ftp downloads get truncated. :) I was thinking of adding generic support for redirecting traffic like this to socks.el... will have to do some hacking around with it next week perhaps. -Bill P.

cvs through firewalls 25 years, 4 months

In case anyone's interested I'm going to submit this to the cvs folks when I can verify that it works. I can't do this until our sysadmin wakes up and allows cvs connections through the web server. If anyone else wants to try it - be my guest....

I appear to have survived my second round of surgery. At least I'm not on any drugs other than antibiotics any more. I hope you all are having a good holiday.

Martin fixed this some time ago. XEmacs configure runs xmkmf (which I presume is functional on any Linux distribution) and saves the options it wants. Look in src/config.h as a last resort: /* Defines for building X applications */ #ifdef HAVE_X_WINDOWS /* The following will be defined if xmkmf thinks they are necessary */ /* #undef SVR4 */ /* #undef SYSV */ /* #undef AIXV3 */ #define _POSIX_SOURCE 1 #define _BSD_SOURCE 1 #define _SVID_SOURCE 1 #define X_LOCALE 1 #define NARROWPROTO 1 /* The following should always be defined, no matter what xmkmf thinks. */ #ifndef NeedFunctionPrototypes #define NeedFunctionPrototypes 1 #endif #ifndef FUNCPROTO #define FUNCPROTO 15 #endif #endif /* HAVE_X_WINDOWS */ > I only have installed the rpms, no special setup.
