Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] [installation problems]

Hi

I can investigate the issue below if you don't have time to get to it.

As for Emacs 26, yes, we could ask about this on the email list but we'd need someone to volunteer to test and help maintain that. I will setup automated tests for 27, 28, 29. However, using old emacs means nice functionality is not present. One example is LSP which I'm currently working on. This gives code navigation to function definitions and more.

Thanks
John

Nevertheless I found a problem concerning >= 29.X
namely

make: *** [Makefile:34: autoloads] Error 255
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The reason as it turns out is htat batch-update-autoloads is now
obsolete.
So I started a discussion on the emacs devel list, and got one helpful
advice to deal with both cases

1. Emacs-version <29

2. Emacs-version >=29

But it will take me some time to fix, because I am now starting to note
a increase in my workload.
Sorry I just have tested this earlier.....

BTW, I saw, you removed emacs 26 support. Shouldn't we discuss on the
list?
I don't mind and I also don't have the impression that it would effect
many users, but just in case, what do you think?
