[xemacs-hg @ 2003-03-09 02:27:27 by ben] To: xemacs-patches@xemacs.org i.c: Sleep between calls to check for I/O, since these calls are non-blocking. behavior.el: Allow other keywords for forward compatibility. cl-macs.el: Rewrite to eliminate byte-compiler warning when `return' is used without `finally'. cmdloop.el: Avoid truncated error messages for `end-of-file' and the like. cmdloop.el: Avoid char-int error after syncing. files.el: Eliminate byte-compile warnings. printer.el: Fix line-width calculations. #### This used to work. Someone's changes (perhaps by Michael Sperber?) seem to have messed something up. simple.el: Use new clear-left-side functions to avoid messages ending up on the same line as other output. xemacs.mak: Add override for info/ as well when separate source/build dirs. xemacs.mak: Order sections in main build process and add comments. Add additional dependencies to try and prevent later steps from happening when failures in earlier steps have occurred. Makefile.in.in: Order sections in main build process and add comments. Add additional dependencies to try and prevent later steps from happening when failures in earlier steps have occurred. alloc.c: Don't arbitrarily clear Vconfigure_info_directory since it messes up separate build/source dirs. console.c, console.h, device-msw.c, device.c: Add accidentally omitted msprinter console and data descriptions. print.c, console-msw.c: Add clear-left-side functionality to help keep stdio/stderr output from separate sources on separate lines. Generalize the different kinds of debugging output. Add dpa(). profile.c: Add better docs on Unix/Windows differences. regex.c: Fix problems with rel-alloc compilation caused by previous patch. emacs.c: Seg fault rather than abort on Cygwin, since gdb doesn't trap aborts properly. console-gtk-impl.h, console-gtk.h, console-msw.h, console-x-impl.h, console-x.h, dialog-gtk.c, dialog-x.c, event-msw.c, frame-gtk.c, frame-x.c, frameslots.h, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-x.c, gui-gtk.c, gui-x.c, inline.c, menubar-gtk.c, menubar-msw.c, menubar-x.c, scrollbar-gtk.c, scrollbar-x.c, ui-gtk.c: Delete popup-data object. Delete menubar_data field from frames, since its usage is frame-specific. Delete menubar-msw.h, gui-x.h, gui-gtk.h. Clean up handling of lwlib callback data GCPRO'ing and add missing GCPRO recomputation in widget code.

This directory contains a number of XEmacs dynamic modules.  These
modules can be loaded directly with the command 'M-x load-module'.
However, the preferred method of loading a module is to issue a
"(require 'module-name)" command to the Lisp interpreter.  This will
store information so that a later "(unload-feature 'module-name)" can
succeed.

To compile one of these modules, simply enter the desired directory,
type 'configure', and then 'make'.  If you are building the module for
an installed XEmacs, then 'make install' will place the module in the
appropriate directory for XEmacs to find it later (assuming you have
permission to write to that directory).  A subsequent 'load-module' or
'require' will then load the module, as described above.

Each of these demonstrates different features and limitations of the
XEmacs module loading technology.  For a complete discussion on XEmacs
dynamic modules, please consult the XEmacs Module Writers Guide, which
can be found in the ../info directory.

For those wanting to get started with module writing, please see the
'sample' directory.  It contains two subdirectories: internal and
external.  The 'internal' subdirectory contains the framework needed to
migrate some core piece of XEmacs functionality into code that can
either be compiled into the core or built as a separate module.  The
'external' subdirectory contains the somewhat simpler framework needed
to build a module separately from XEmacs.  These should be considered
starting places for module writing.
