- Mail List
-
- oo-browser@hub.ucsb.edu - mail list
- oo-browser-request@hub.ucsb.edu - administrative requests
-
- The oo-browser mail list is for discussion, bug reports and feature
- requests concerning the OO-Browser multi-language code browser.
- If your Emacs version supports menubars and popup menus, you can use the
- Compose-Mail-to-List and Mail-List-Request menu items to access the
- mail list and administrative address, respectively, when in the OO-Browser.
-
- ALL mail concerning administration of the OO-Browser mailing list should
- be sent to the -request address. That includes addition, change, or
- deletion requests. Don't EVER consider sending such a request to the
- oo-browser mail list.
-
- Use the following formats on your subject line to execute requests,
- where you substitute your own values for the <> delimited items.
-
- Subject: Subscribe '<' <user@domain> '>' (<your name>).
- Subject: Unsubscribe '<' <user@domain> '>'.
-
- To change your address, you must unsubscribe your old address in one
- message and then subscribe your new address in another message.
-
- For example:
-
- To: oo-browser-request@hub.ucsb.edu
- Subject: Unsubscribe <joe@any.com>.
-
- To: oo-browser-request@hub.ucsb.edu
- Subject: Subscribe <joe@any.com> (Joe Williams).
-
- If you ask questions, you should consider adding to the discussion by
- telling people the kinds of work you are doing or contemplating doing
- with the OO-Browser. In this way, the list will not be overwhelmed by
- messages that ask for, but provide no information.
-
- ------
-
- To install the OO-Browser:
-
- If you have the Hyperbole system installed, you must be using
- V3.18.4 or greater. Otherwise, you must upgrade. Get Hyperbole
- from: /anonymous@cs.uiuc.edu:/pub/xemacs/infodock. Get the h*
- files in that directory. Once you have this version installed,
- you can safely delete the oobr/hypb/ directory, which duplicates a
- subset of the Hyperbole files to provide the OO-Browser with
- context-sensitive keyboard and mouse keys. But then you must
- make a symbolic link from your hyperbole directory to oobr/hypb,
- so that the OO-Browser Makefile can see the Hyperbole files it needs.
-
- Add the full path of either the Hyperbole code directory or the
- "oobr/hypb/" subdirectory to your 'load-path' variable.
-
- You may want to change the settings of 'c++-cpp-include-dirs'
- and 'c++-include-dirs' at the bottom of "br-site.el".
-
- If you prefer to use some non-GNU Emacs editor such
- as vi to view and edit your code, then modify to your taste the
- settings in the br-setup-external function in "br-site.el" and add
- the following line to your personal Emacs initialization file:
- (add-hook 'br-mode-hook 'br-setup-external)
-
- Add the following lines to your site autoload configuration, substituting
- the correct full path for <OOBR-DIR>:
-
- If you use any version of Emacs prior to V19, e.g. Emacs 18.59
- or Epoch, then you must add the following line; don't add it to
- Emacs 19 or XEmacs. Note that the value must end with a `/'.
- (setq br-directory "<OOBR-DIR>/")
-
- For any version of Emacs, aside from XEmacs 19.12 or greater (which
- already includes these lines), add these lines:
- (autoload 'oobr "<OOBR-DIR>/br-start" "Invoke the OO-Browser" t)
- (autoload 'br-env-browse "<OOBR-DIR>/br-start"
- "Browse an existing OO-Browser Environment" t)
-
- Add the following key binding to your site keys configuration:
-
- (global-set-key "\C-c\C-o" 'oobr)
-
-
- The OO-Browser's Emacs Lisp files are pre-byte-compiled for InfoDock,
- Emacs 19 and XEmacs, so if you run one of these versions, when you use
- make to build the OO-Browser, very few files will need to be built, so
- your make will finish quickly.
-
- Before doing your first make, edit the CONFIGURABLE SECTION in the
- "Makefile". You must set the EMACS variable to point to the Emacs
- executable that you want to use to byte-compile the OO-Browser Lisp
- files. You may also have to set SITE-PRELOADS; follow the instructions
- that precede the 'SITE-PRELOADS =' line. Make these changes now and save
- the Makefile.
-
- If you are running Emacs V18 or Epoch, you must first rebuild all
- byte-compiled Lisp files. Move to the oobr directory and use:
- make all-elc
-
- Then, whatever Emacs version you use, move to the oobr directory
- and use:
- make
-
- Use these commands if you want to build graphical interfaces to
- the OO-Browser:
- If you want to build the X OO-Browser, you have to change some
- of the variable settings at the top of the "tree-x/Makefile", such
- as your InfoDock or Emacs bin directory.
- Once you have done that, use:
- make xoobr
- to build the X OO-Browser.
-
- If you want to rebuild the NEXTSTEP OO-Browser below the
- "tree-nx" directory, you must use NeXT's ProjectBuilder. The
- browser is pre-built for NEXTSTEP 3.0 on 68k NeXT machines.
-
- To produce the Postscript version of the Hyperbole manual:
- make ps
-
- If you ever want to just rebuild out of data Lisp files, use:
- make elc
-
- The OO-Browser is now ready for use.
-
- ------
-
- To invoke the OO-Browser, use:
-
- {C-c C-o} or {M-x oobr RET}
