Re: NAS support in XEmacs

Ray> There's nas 1.3 out now. Someone did pick up nas, but the mailing Ray> list has been relatively quiet. Martin> It's very well hidden. I couldn't find it. Martin> Any web pointers to the new NAS? Here's my link: http://home.rmi.net/~jon/nas.html, this includes the mailing list archives. I have not yet tried out the latest version, because the version I have works just fine. :-) On my list of things to do someday.... Martin> Well, `configure --with-nas' works, right? Yes; it was wishful thinking on my part that nas could be autodetected. Martin> Raymond, because you *really* care, I did some more work on NAS. Martin> I succeeded in building it on Solaris, but not on Linux. It basically Martin> requires a guru to build and install the software. [valid gripes removed] Martin> This is actually also an indictment of X11 in general. Martin> autoconf/configure is really ugly, but it does work. I believe someone is trying to get NAS to build via autoconf. Martin> Note that the NAS header files are not C++-compatible, since they Martin> don't use full prototypes, which is a no-no for modern libraries. I'll look into ansifying the header files, if the maintainer is interested in such things. Martin> NAS needs a maintainer. There is one. Or are you talking about NAS in XEmacs? If so, that was supposed to be me. Martin> But just to prove that I do occasionally listen to my Martin> users, here is a new NAS patch with autodetecting Martin> configure support and warning fixes: I appreciate your fixes very much. Martin> (Oh, and Raymond, I expect you to actually use this...) Of course. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, so I'd better keep using that wheel. Thanks, Ray
