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 |
25928 | 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 |
25928 | 73 is also mnemonic for getting back to gnumacs. |
74 | |
75 I hope this helps somewhat. | |
