Carbon.
15 years, 4 months
Aidan Kehoe
I’ve synced the carbon2 branch with both the trunk and Andrew Choi’s current
code. There may be some things I’ve missed--that was a lot of syncing--but
the code compiles now and looks and works much as expected. Please test, but
do not distribute binaries.
To get it, do:
cvs -d :pserver:cvs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs login
(it will ask for your password, which is cvs ) followed by
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:cvs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs \
checkout -d xemacs-carbon2 -r carbon2 xemacs
To build, once the checkout is done:
cd xemacs-carbon2/carbon && sh < build-app.sh

Re: [PATCH] Abstract out a display-table-specific API (2)

Yeah; I need to ask the Gnus people to apply it too. But for the moment I’m
worried about XEmacs-specific compatibility.

Yes. The XEmacs char tables are opaque objects, not vectors.
Okay, and now I check, I realise my “portable” code fails on GNU
Emacs. Here’s a version that works there, where char-tables are sequences
and really close to being vectors, though not quite:
(defun-when-void put-display-table (range value display-table)
"Set the value for char RANGE to VALUE in DISPLAY-TABLE. "
(if (sequencep display-table)
(aset display-table range value)
(put-char-table range value display-table)))
(defun-when-void get-display-table (character display-table)
"Find value for CHARACTER in DISPLAY-TABLE. "
(if (sequencep display-table)
(aref display-table character)
(get-char-table character display-table)))

disp-table.el, which provides the display table code--make-display-table,
frob-display-table, describe-display-table, and in
http://mid.gmane.org/18288.1954.87217.762309＠parhasard.net ,
put-display-table and get-display-table--is in core. Yeah, there’s a decent
argument that it might be better in packages, but it isn’t there for the
moment. There isn’t any other obvious place to put these two functions, IMO,
and moving them away from #'make-display-table and #'describe-display-table
will make for less clear code.
The defun-when-void means any existing definition won’t be overridden.

How to suppress environment variable expansion by find-file?
15 years, 4 months
Skip Montanaro
I have a file with a leading dollar sign in its name. When I try to visit
it in XEmacs I get an error with this message "substituting nonexistent
environment variable ...". I've tried doubling up the dollar sign, escaping
it with a backslash, quoting it with apostrophes and giving a prefix
argument. I didn't see any variable which would obviously suppress the
expansion. Nothing seems to work. Is there any relief for this problem?
Thanks,
Skip Montanaro

Well ... great! Would you mind trying my patch again, then? For
convenience, here it is:

+ } while (lstr->out_buffer_ind > 0 && flush_rc >= 0);
/* don't check errors here -- best not to risk file descriptor loss */
return Lstream_flush (lstr);
If the hangs return, then we can try the approach of figuring out what
data is getting lost here and where it was supposed to go.
Thanks,

Should auto-create .xemacs directory on first run on Microsoft Windows
15 years, 4 months
Nick Crabtree
Hi,
On a fresh installation on Windows, the "Save Options to Custom File"
menu option fails. (InnoSetup installation of 21.4.21). I went Options
-> Display -> Buffers Tab Visible (because I don't like them), and
then Options -> Save Options to Custom File - and it failed.
*Message-Log*:
Loading cus-edit...
Loading customization dependencies...
Loading customization dependencies...done
Loading cus-edit...done
Loading efs-cu...
Loading efs-cu...done
(New file)
Opening output file: No such file or directory, c:\Documents and
Settings\Nick\.xemacs\custom.el
... of course, creating the .xemacs directory by hand solves the
issue. However, for a Windows user trying out what is reputed to be a
better text editor than Wordpad, this would be instantly discouraging
...

latin-ltx: works in 21.4.19 but with problems.
15 years, 4 months
Uwe Brauer
Hello
I boldly installed latin-ltx, form GNU emacs and it works in
xemacs21.4.19 however there are some problems.
- all Greek symbols are VERY small, I almost need a microscope.
- not all symbols are displayed correctly, ∫ works but
? (\Cap ) Not.
May be some fonts are missing but which?
Thanks
Uwe Brauer

patch: wrong property list
15 years, 5 months
Mike FABIAN
In some face definitions in the “calendar” package I found properties like
(:weight bold t)
which is most likely wrong, probably it should be just
(:weight bold)
otherwise it is not a correct plist, is it?
In most other packages
(:bold t)
is used, maybe “(:weight bold)” is obsolete anyway?
A tentative patch is attached.

flyspell mode not buffer local?
15 years, 5 months
Tim Connors
Hi,
If I invoke either flyspell-mode or flyspell-mode-on, then the local
buffer gets checked, but so does everything else (polluting all my shell
scripts with bogus font-locking). And it even font locks spelling in the
status line -- If I try to type M-x flyspell-foo, it objects to my
spelling of flyspell :)
It seems from everyone's .emacs file, this shouldn't happen - it should be
buffer local. Is there bug with the xemacs implementation, and not the
emacs implementation?

MacOS?
15 years, 5 months
Jamie Zawinski
So, it's been two years since Choi's Carbon XEmacs patches were
released. Are you guys ever going to integrate that into the
mainline, and/or release your own GUI XEmacs for MacOS?
Just curious if you've all given up, or what...
(You know, when they renamed it from lemacs to xemacs, they swore up
down and sideways that the "X" didn't mean "it will never work on
anything but X Windows"...)
