| 7 | Can you help this person? Also, can you give me the rest of ledit | ||
| 8 | to distribute, plus some info on how to use it? | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | I have put the files "ledit.l" and "leditcfns.c" on prep:~mdc. | ||
| 11 | Much to my disgust ledit.l relied on some bogus little package of | ||
| 12 | functions on HT, so I had to massage it a bit. | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | To get it to work, one must: | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | - Compile leditcfns.c with something like: | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | cc leditcfns.c | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | - Edit ledit.l, changing the line beginning "(cfasl" to | ||
| 21 | have the right pathname for the cfns file you compiled in | ||
| 22 | the last step. | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | - Compile ledit.l with: | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | liszt ledit.l | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | Then put the following lines in your .lisprc file: | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | ;load in functions for emacs interface | ||
| 31 | (load "//src//mdc//ledit//ledit") ; Location of Ledit library | ||
| 32 | (set-proc-str "%gnumacs") ; Name of editor | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | Then you can use ^E <RETURN> to get from LISP back to gnumacs. | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | Here is the part of my .emacs file that pertains to ledit. | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | ;;; Set up ledit mode | ||
| 39 | (setq ledit-go-to-lisp-string "%lisp") | ||
| 40 | (setq lisp-mode-hook 'ledit-from-lisp-mode) | ||

| 45 | This is a documentation question. | ||
| 46 | I cannot figure out how to use Ledit. I suspect I need some | ||
| 47 | function on the Franz Lisp end of things to go to Emacs and read in | ||
| 48 | the temporary file. Is this true? Is the Lisp job started within | ||
| 49 | Emacs or outside of emacs? I'm just plain confused. Perhaps a couple | ||
| 50 | of words from someone in the know would help. | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | A related question. I have been using a shell buffer when interacting | ||
| 53 | with Lisp (ie. put a definition in the kill buffer and then yank it | ||
| 54 | into the shell buffer to redefine it). This is nice but tends to fill | ||
| 55 | up the shell buffer with lots of code (I'd rather keep calls to functions | ||
| 56 | in the shell and not the functions themselves). | ||
| 57 | My question: Is using the shell buffer "better" than ledit? Am I using | ||
| 58 | it in the best way (i.e. copying definitions from an edit buffer to the | ||
| 59 | shell buffer)? -Thanks, David Neves | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | I have found that ledit works well for doing programming development | ||
| 62 | when you are changing lots of little pieces of a file and don't wish | ||
| 63 | to recompile the whole file. Of course M-X Compile is very nice for | ||
| 64 | calling up a liszt on a buffer and watching it in the another window. | ||
| 65 | Of course the interface of something like NIL is even better because | ||
| 66 | you can compile your function directly into your lisp. But since NIL | ||
| 67 | doesn't run under Unix, this is probably the next best thing. | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | I have tried the 2 window method (shell in lower window, lisp code in | ||
| 70 | upper), and have found it a little awkward. It does have certain | ||
| 71 | advantages, but most of the time, I get be fine using M-C-D to save a | ||
| 72 | defun for lisp, and C-X Z to jump back to LISP. C-E RETURN from lisp | ||
| 73 | is also mnemonic for getting back to gnumacs. | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | I hope this helps somewhat. | ||
