timer/timer-funcs in XEmacs

timer/timer-funcs in XEmacs

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

I just tried compiling Gnus for XEmacs 21.5, and it failed miserably,
because Gnus contains lots of code like:

(eval-and-compile
  (if (featurep 'xemacs)
      (require 'timer-funcs)
    (require 'timer)))

XEmacs 21.5 doesn't seem to contain the timer-funcs package any more,
but has timer instead.

Or am I misunderstanding something?

If not, I'm going to fix that up, and move the timer requirements to
gnus.el, so that all the other files don't have to require that
stuff.

Yep. :-)  Update your packages.  timer-funcs is in the xemacs-base
package.

Hm...  I pulled down the XEmacs CVS tree.  Shouldn't that be in there?
Most things seem to work.

Oops.  Spoke to fast:

Signaling: (void-function constrain-to-field)
  constrain-to-field(nil 1559 t)
  forward-paragraph()
  fill-paragraph(nil)
  message-newline-and-reformat(nil t)
  message-fill-paragraph(nil)

I do seem to be missing stuff.

Hm.

And:

Signaling: (invalid-argument "No such coding system" iso-2022-7bit)
  coding-system-property(iso-2022-7bit pre-write-conversion)
  write-region(1 10310 "~/.ecompleterc" nil silent)
  ecomplete-save()
  message-put-addresses-in-ecomplete()
  eval((message-put-addresses-in-ecomplete))

Ok; I'll try reading the CVS downloading instructions this time.  :-)

Hello Lars, you must have fsf-compat installed, but not xemacs-base:

Library is file c:\progra~1\xemacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\xemacs-base\timer-funcs.elc
Library is file c:\progra~1\xemacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\fsf-compat\timer.elc

The REQUIRE of
packages\xemacs-packages\gnus\Makefile
does contain xemacs-base.

Hope this helps!

Adrian

This (and other problems, like `M-q' not working) went away when I
moved to XEmacs 21.4 instead of XEmacs 21.5.

Is that version supposed to work?

Anyway, there are indeed some problems with ecomplete in XEmacs.

The first one is that this doesn't work:

(message "hello\nyes")

only displays "hello" in XEmacs, instead of using a bigger echo area.
Is there a way to fix that?

The other problem is that XEmacs doesn't have `read-event'.  Which can
be fixed by using a variation of `gnus-xmas-read-event-char', I
guess.  Or is there some function I'm not seeing that I can use
instead?

No, unlike GNU Emacs, a lot of the lisp code is shipped in separate packages.
Download the xemacs-sumo tarball and all should be fine.  Instructions can be
found at:

I thought the sumo stuff was only if you installed binary XEmacs.  I
pulled down the xemacs and packages CVS trees.

The packages tree is 114MB big.  And then there's even more packages?

Hm...

Aha!

I put the packages CVS tree in the wrong place for xemacs-21.5.

Never mind.  Stupid user error.
