Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] el-get install matlab-mode compile error

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi,

I’m not sure why your Emacs 24.4 wouldn’t have EIEIO installed.   It has been a part of default Emacs for quite a long time.   From a stock emacs, do :

M-x locate-library RET eieio RET

to see what it says.  If it is there, then there is something else going on during command line build.   Instead you can visit mlint.el, and just type:

M-x byte-compile-file RET


Also you should update update the Makefile to change CEDET_PATH to point at a good version of CEDET.  I believe it is still pointing at the default.   That won’t fix the compile error you point out below, but will fix upcoming problems you will have after finding EIEIO if you want to make the CEDET tools work.

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] el-get install matlab-mode compile error

Hello,

I am running on Mac 10.10.1 and I homebrew installed emacs 24.4 and cvs. When I tried to install matlab-mode via el-get, I got the compiling error as follows,

emacs -batch --no-site-file --eval '(setq debug-on-error t)'  -L ./ -L ~/cedet/trunk/lisp/cedet/ --eval '(progn  (setq generated-autoload-file "/Users/cyc/.emacs.d/el-get/matlab-mode/matlab-load.el"))' -f batch-update-autoloads /Users/cyc/.emacs.d/el-get/matlab-mode

Do you guys have any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance.
