Re: More JDE woes.

Andreas> Strange, I can't reproduce this. Do you have the Andreas> semantic package in your tree? Yes, I do, and I did reproduce it. I believe that this is a "from-scratch build issue". I do not yet have an _installed_ semantic package, and that's why it's not in load-path, and not found. As of May 25 (when I last installed full build), it was possible to do "make World" in the top directory of the xemacs-packages tree, and successfully build the whole thing from scratch. I suspect this isn't so anymore.... I'll try it again someday soon I think that the package maintainer should have a couple xemacs builds around which do _not_ know about installed package hierarchies, to catch exactly this kind of thing. Maybe there should be a lisp library or an option to package-compile.el to clean out the load-path for this purpose. I think a "make World"-style build # first, install an OS on the bare metal, then boot, then ... cvs co xemacs cvs co xemacs-packages pushd xemacs; ./configure; make; popd export XEMACS=`pwd`/xemacs/src/xemacs pushd xemacs-packages; make World; popd ought to succeed. I _know_ this won't work at the moment (because xemacs-packages/Local.rules does not have defaults, let alone sensible ones, in it---"This is a job for autoconf!", too bad I'm not a grok). But I think it's worth shooting for. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
