- Installation instructions for the tek-epoch-stuff group of packages.
- ====================================================================
-
- You only need to do 4 or 5 things to install these packages:
-
-
- 1) If you are using epoch version 3.2 then apply the patch in
- get-font.patch to your epoch sources and rebuild epoch. This bug has
- been fixed in version 4.0.
-
-
- 2) Byte compile each of the .el files and put them somewhere in your
- load path.
-
-
- 3) Set the value of the variable tek-highlight-use-attributes, based
- on whether you are using epoch version 3.2 or 4. See the file
- tek-style-utils.el for details. I recommend that you set this variable
- in your .emacs, rather than editing tek-style-utils.el . This way you
- will be able to upgrade to new versions of this package more easily.
-
-
- 4) Add the following lines to your .emacs:
-
-
- ; Set up an autoload for syntax decoding stuff.
- (autoload 'decode-syntax-table "syntax-decode" "autoloadable function" t)
-
- ; Set up autoload of new manual browser
- (require 'tek-man-setup)
-
- ; Set up autoload of new info browser
- (require 'tek-info-setup)
-
- ; Highlight comments in source code
- (require 'tek-src-hilite-setup)
-
- ; Customise the mouse drag style
- (require 'tek-motion-setup)
-
- ; Set up for highlighting in gnus.
- (require 'tek-gnus-hilite-setup)
-
- ; Set up for highlighting in VM.
- (require 'tek-vm-hilite-setup)
-
- ; Set up for highlighting under mh-e.
- (require 'tek-mh-e-hilite-setup)
-
-
- Obviously you can load just some of the packages and not others. The
- syntax-decode package is used by tek-src-hilite, so you must include
- the above autoload command if you are highlighting your comments.
-
- It seems unlikely that you would want to use both VM and mh-e, so you
- only need to load the setup for one of these.
-
-
- 5) If you want to use highlighting under mh-e you will need to install
- the patched version of mh-e.el in your .../epoch/lisp directory. If
- you have made local mods to this file, you can instead apply the
- patches in mh-e.patch. These are based on the version distributed with
- epoch 4.0 .
-
-
- All the .el files will byte compile under emacs as well as under
- epoch. We use make and "emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile" to release
- byte compiled elisp files across our different machines.
-
- The above packages all do something sensible when loaded under emacs,
- so you don't need to worry about different .emacs'es for emacs and
- epoch.
