[Mac-emacs-users] Running Ruby interpreter in subshell (OS X)

[Brian M. <ma...@te...>]

I'm running "GNU Emacs 21.1.30.3 (powerpc-apple-darwin5.2.2) of 2002-02-10 on
localhost". I'm pretty sure I got it as the precompiled binary from here:
<http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~akochoi/emacs/21.1/emacs-21.1-mac-bin.smi.bin>

When I start emacs, it connects to the network. What's it doing? Have 
I installed something I oughtn't have?

I don't think it's the path problem. Before the python notes, I did this:

(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/usr/local/bin" "~/bin")))

Although that doesn't give "shell-command" the right path, it does 
suffice to have make-comint find things in /usr/local/bin and ~/bin.

I tonight added
(setq shell-file-name "tcsh")
so that M-! would get the right path. This does not help with my problem.

I also tried the plist solution, but that didn't work at all. (See 
"digression", below.)

I've done some playing around, and I suspect what's happening is that 
the Ruby interpreter is exiting immediately (for whatever reason). 
Emacs seems to be behaving oddly when given a program that exits 
without taking input. Consider this program:

main() {
   int i;
   for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
     printf("hello, world\n");
   exit(42);
}

I invoke it with this:

(defun test-run (cmd)
   (interactive "sCMD: ")
   (pop-to-buffer (make-comint "ruby" cmd)))

(which is the core of what "M-x run-ruby" does).

If I invoke it when no *ruby* buffer exists, one of three things will 
happen. In all cases, no text appears in the *ruby* buffer.
1) most often, the status is immediately "exit".
2) less often, the status starts as "run", then changes to "exit" in 
a second or so.
3) much less often, the status stays as run until I do something, 
such as press an inserting key or leave the buffer with "C-x o".

All these cases differ from the emacs that comes with OS X, which always prints
"Process ruby exited abnormally with code 42" (but has nothing else 
in the buffer).

If (back in the version I want to be using), I invoke the test 
command when a *ruby* buffer already exists, I always get this:

Process ruby<2> killed

Process ruby killed

Process ruby killed

To complicate things, change the loop iteration to 100. Then I get 
the following, no matter whether I'm going to a new buffer or reusing 
an old one:

hello, world
hello, world
<...>
hello, world
hello, world
hello, wor

It always stops in the same place in the final line.

The stock OS X version stops in the same place in the line, but then 
prints the line about the exit code.

How is Emacs supposed to behave with lots of output and no input?

Is there a way to get all the output from a command, so that I can 
see if irb (the ruby interpreter) prints any useful diagnostics? What 
I thought of doing was running it with shell-command, but that brings 
up the spinning beach ball, and I have to Force Quit emacs. Another 
way to cause the beach ball is to use M-! to invoke this:

while true
do
   read foo
   echo $foo
done

Given that Ruby runs in a Terminal window (not under emacs), and that 
it runs when invoked from the command line in a M-x shell, what could 
be causing it to not be accepting input? It does take input from 
stdin:

[localhost:~] marick% echo "exit" | irb
irb(main):001:0> exit
[localhost:~] marick%

Note that it echoes the command.

------------ <digression> --------------
The plist solution didn't work at all. I put this in 
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="0.9">
<dict>
	<key>HOME</key>
	<string>/Users/marick</string>
	<key>FOO</key>
	<string>bar</string>
	<key>PATH</key>
	<string>/usr/bin:/bin:/Users/marick:/usr/local/bin:/Users/marick/bin:/Users/marick/src/ruby/ruby-trace/bin</string>
</dict>
</plist>

That doesn't change the PATH in either Emacs, as checked with "M-! 
which". (I put the FOO environment variable in to check if it's 
visible in either Emacs or the Terminal shell. Nope.)

Do I have the right filename?

Could you please try setting the PATH environment variable as
suggested by others on the mailing list about a week ago for a similar
question on Python?  This is necessary since an application started
from the Finder does not get the same environment variables set when
started from a shell.  I suppose you may also need to set certain Lisp
variables in the Ruby package.

This is probably incorrect because that was a binary for OS classic.

[Mac-emacs-users] Running Ruby interpreter in subshell (OS X)

[Brian M. <ma...@te...>]

I can't seem to run the Ruby interpreter as a subshell on OS X. (Ruby
is a language kind of like Python.)

Ruby comes with some .el files that define M-x run-ruby (and all the
usual sub-interpreter commands you'd expect). It works as expected
with the dumb-terminal version of emacs that comes with OS X. M-x
run-ruby doesn't work with the flashier emacs I downloaded (details
below). Other kinds of subshells work.

The symptom is that when I M-x run-ruby, I get an empty buffer, rather
than a prompt. The mode line shows state "run". If I type a character,
it switches to "exit". That happens even if I switch buffers without
typing anything to the process.

Clues?

-------------------
Specifics: This report is for the precompiled binary I got from
<http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~akochoi/emacs/21.1/emacs-21.1-mac-bin.smi.bin>
"GNU Emacs 21.1.30.3 (powerpc-apple-darwin5.2.2) of 2002-02-10 on
localhost"
I'm running OS X 10.1.4.
The version of Ruby is 1.6.4, precompiled, from
<http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_apps_utilities/rubyprogramminglanguage.html>

As far as I can tell, the Ruby executable is a pretty standard
command-line program. It accepts lines from stdin, sends output to
stdout. Nothing funny.

Similar programs seem to work. By giving a numeric argument to
M-x run-ruby, I can get it to prompt for the command to run. Both tcsh and
ftp work fine (including when ftp prompts for a password).

(Note that this means there's a workaround: have run-ruby start tcsh,
then start the interpreter within it. That seems to work fine, but I
want to know what's going on.)

I think this problem is unrelated to the inf-ruby.el code that defines
M-x run-ruby, since a teensy elisp function has the same behavior:

(defun test-run (prog)
   (pop-to-buffer (make-comint "ruby" prog)))


The Ruby interpreter is not quite a true executable. Instead, it's a
Ruby script that invokes the Ruby executable. It looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
... ruby code that checks command line args and calls one of two
initialization functions ...

So I tried a file called "shell-exec-ftp" that looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env ftp

That works. It differs from irb in that it has nothing after the #!
line, but I can't think of anything on this fresh system that I could
make look like how (I think) irb actually works.)

Re: [Mac-emacs-users] Swapping Caps and Ctrl from within Emacs

[Gregory P. K. <gre...@lm...>]

I have a rev. a 500 Mhz TiBook, running 10.1.4, and uControl works quite
nicely (be warned, however, it doesn't play nicely with the USB keyboard
tweak). As such, it is likely a hardware change, and not a software one.

There is no usable way to do this at the emacs level due to the bizare
nature of the PowerBook Caps Lock key...

Hopefully a fresh release of uControl will come out that works on your
hardware.

I feel your pain.

Hi Ando,

The newer versions of texinfo cause problems for the build.  Version
21.1 with the patch seems to require texinfo 4.0.  The version in the
CVS (currently 21.3.50) works fine with texinfo 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2.

I suggest getting the Emacs src from CVS

  http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/

and using texinfo 4.2.  That works for me.  The code is newer too and
contains many bug fixes!  For instructions on how to checkout code
using CVS, see

  http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=40

Note that I posted a patch on this mailing list for the current CVS
version last week which I haven't committed to the CVS repository yet.

Andrew.

A cheaper alternative (which works most of the time, but not always...)
is to add this to your .emacs:

(setq shell-file-name "tcsh")
(setq sh-shell-file "/bin/tcsh")

Hope this helps

Probably a matter of your PATH. Emacs run in GUI mode doesn't get any PATH

I have my PATH (and other environment variables) for emacs set in

I recognize the patch as Tsutomu Ikegami's patch for compiling Emacs

[Mac-emacs-users] Mac OS Italic and Bold Font Display/Hollow Boxes Bug Fix

[Andrew C. <ak...@sh...>]

Hi Everyone,

The following patch (to be applied to the version in the CVS
repository) fixes a bug which prevents Emacs from correctly displaying
the italic, bold, and bold-italic variants of most fonts on the Mac OS
(classic and X).

Please test it.  I'll check it into the CVS once I have used it a bit
more.

Andrew.

Dear Andrew,

How do I install and/or access those fonts?  I'm using Mac OS10.1.4 and
emacs GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1, with intlfonts-1.2 installed also.

I don't seem to have (or cannot access) the -etl-fixed-*16* fonts.

And fontset-alias-alist's value is
(("-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-mac" .
"-*-monaco-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-mac-roman")
 ("-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-mac" . "fontset-mac")
 ("-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default" . "fontset-default"))

I downloaded GNU-Fonts from sourceforge, but I don't know what to do with
the three items in that folder (GNU-Asian, GNU-European, GNU-Misc).

Hi Gil,

Currently only the -etl-fixed-*16* fonts display italic and bold
correctly.  I'm working on solving this problem for other fonts and
should have a solution quite soon.

That is great! So I have now made a simple shell-skript wrapper:

#! /bin/sh
sh -c "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs $* &"


and an alias

alias termemacs="/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -nw"

[Mac-emacs-users] Syntax Highlighting (Global Font Lock Mode)

[Gilbert H. <ha...@Pr...>]

In emacs version 23.3.50.1 (it says), if I choose "Syntax Highlighting
(Global Font Lock Mode)" from the Options menu, the highlighting leaves some
characters as blank rectangles.  For example, use dir-ed to look at a
directory, select a file and press d for delete.  The filename is suddenly
blanked out in this way.  Similarly for certain highlighting in editing
LaTeX files.

(Mac OS 10.4.1).

Thanks, Andrew, that was it.  (I forgot I had installed X Windows.)  I did
have to "make bootstrap", because "make" by itself did not work.  One
interesting fact is that "emacs version" returns: "GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1"  Is
that correct?

All this on MacOS 10.4.1 with recent Developer Tools (I can't figure out how
to get the version of Developer Tools though.)

Well, this is not completely true... 
My applescripts call emacs from a shell command.
As an example, the following works perfectly:
tcsh -c '/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -rv -bg red myfile.tex &'
The general idea is:
tcsh -c '/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs OPTIONS &'
where the ampersand should be before the quote.

cheers

Hi Gil,

It will help a lot if you describe how `make' has failed and attach
the error messages.

One possibility is you have X Window installed and you didn't do a
`./configure --without-x'.

It will also help if you state which version of OS X and developer
tools you're using.

Andrew.

[Mac-emacs-users] emacs 21.2.50 CVS help needed

[Gilbert H. <ha...@Pr...>]

I am doing something wrong in trying to download the sources for 21.2.50.

In a terminal window, I give the commands:

cvs -d:pserver:an...@su...:/cvsroot/emacs login

[<enter> (for password)]
=A0
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:an...@su...:/cvsroot/emacs co .

I cd to the top level folder that is downloaded.

.\configure seems to work OK

But "make" fails completely, as does "make bootstrap".

What am I missing?

actually it does take arguments (my file is loaded into emacs) but it
behaves really strage.

Hi Patrick,

Currently there isn't a way to passed command-line options to Emacs
when it is run in GUI mode.  Had you installed from CVS, this
information is in the mac/README file.

Andrew.
