As of 2005, the build process ;; requires a hand translation of the Makefile.in and Emacs-specific ;; methodology to DCL and TPU commands, so to alleviate this pain, we ;; provide `make-mms-derivative', which given a source FILENAME, inserts ;; the file contents in a new buffer and loads FILENAME-2mms. The lisp ;; code in the -2mms file can (do whatever -- it's emacs -- and), as ;; long as it arranges to write out the modified buffer after loading by ;; specifying, on a line of its own, the directive: ;; ;; :output RELATIVE-OUTPUT ;; ;; where RELATIVE-OUTPUT is a filename (a string) relative to FILENAME's ;; directory, typically something simple like "descrip.mms_in_in". Only ;; the first :output directive is recognized. ;; ;; The only other special directive at this time has the form: ;; ;; :gigo NAME ;; ;;blah blah blah ;; ;;(more text here) ;; ;; NAME is anything distinguishable w/ `eq' (number, symbol or keyword). ;; This associates NAME with the block of text starting immediately below ;; the :gigo directive and ending at the first line that does not begin ;; with two semicolons (which are stripped from each line in the block). ;; To insert this block of text, pass NAME to `make-mms-derivative-gigo'. ;; ;; Directives are scanned before normal evaluation, so their placement ;; in the file is not important. During loading, plain strings are ;; displayed in the echo area, prefixed with the current line number. ;; ;; Over the long run, the convenience functions provided (see source) ;; will be augmented by factoring maximally the -2mms files, squeezing ;; as much algorithm out of those nasty heuristics as possible. What ;; makes them nasty is not that they rely on the conventions of the ;; Emacs makefiles; that's no big deal. What makes them nasty is that ;; they rely on the conventions of separately maintained tools (namely ;; Autoconf for VMS and GNU Autoconf), and the separation of conventions ;; is how people drift apart, dragging their software behind ;; mercilessly. ;; ;; In general, codified thought w/o self-synchronization is doomed. ;; That a generation would eat its young (most discriminatingly, even) ;; is no reason GNU cannot build around such woe. ;;; Code: (defvar make-mms-derivative-data nil "Plist of data specific to `make-mms-derivative'.")
