My thanks to Andreas for his work over the past months, and a hearty "Welcome aboard" to Yet Another Steve. Steve> make bindist gives: Steve> Cannot open load file: semantic The patch below fixes that, but now it fails with /home/steve/Projects/XEmacs/Builds/21.2/src/xemacs -no-autoloads -batch -eval "(push (expand-file-name \"lisp\") (push (expand-file-name \"../semantic\") load-path))" -l cl-macs -l cus-face -l eieio.el -l jde.el -l jde-db.el -l jde-run.el -l /coda/Projects/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/package-compile.el -- jde cc-mode semantic debug speedbar edit-utils eterm mail-lib xemacs-base -- lisp/auto-autoloads.el No setf-method known for setq xemacs exiting I don't have time to investigate this; I don't know if it's another missing preload or what. (That xemacs is a 24-hour-old CVS update of 21.2, that could be it, too.) Steve> If I take out the PRELOADS it builds with no errors. Ah, but does it run? The reason for the preloads is that files which call macros will happily compile without them, but because of the way byte-compiled macros are implemented, they will throw run-time errors. ***** I don't recommend this patch very highly. There probably is a "more correct" way of setting the load-path (if there isn't, the package maintainer should think about consing one up, hint, hint). Something standard should be done about cl-macs and cus-face and such files as well, since they are core Lisp. Maybe more `eval-when-compile requires' in JDE itself? If any changes are made to JDE, please note in the source that they cause divergence from the upstream package.
