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'.")(defun make-mms-derivative-data (key &optional newval) (if newval (setq make-mms-derivative-data (plist-put make-mms-derivative-data key newval)) (plist-get make-mms-derivative-data key)))(defun make-mms-derivative-gigo (name) "Insert the text associated with :gigo NAME."
