I'm having trouble with the Emacs Interactor for GNU Smalltalk 1.1 on an HP9000/350 running HPUX 7.0 (Emacs is a vanilla 18.55). Following the directions given the Smalltalk "info" documentation, I get the message below in the Emacs status line immediately after typing "C-c m" in the test file "t.st" while in Smalltalk mode: "Symbol's value as variable is void: shell-mode-map" I know very little about elisp so this is quite baffling to me. Anybody have it working? I'm a Smalltalk novice and I've grown weary of the straight command line interface. Also, anyone have STIX working on an HP 9000? Thanks in advance for any help. mark -- Mark S. Johnson mjohnson@stn9.calpoly.edu (129.65.19.9)

I also had the problem with the shell-mode-map. To get around it, I
simply created a shell (M-x shell) before I ran Smalltalk.

To get around it, I simply created a shell (M-x shell) before I ran Smalltalk." That's the "right answer", more or less. shell-mode-map is defined in shell.el, which probably should be "required" (in the Lisp sense) in smalltalk.el. I will look at the code and send a fix to Mr. Gnu Smalltalk. (Actually, that code deserves some work --- it's not very well in line with the other computer language modes) And, in <26d2ff3e.3a44@petunia.CalPoly.EDU>, mjohnson@riglow.acs.calpoly.edu (Mark S.

Though I don't know the details of your situation, and know nothing about HP machines (at least, so far as I can help it :-) ), I will warn you that both I and a friend at Cornell found STIX to be rather fragile in the build phase. If you think you're doing everything right, and it still won't build, try throwing it all away and starting from scratch --- I had to do that at one point.

>> "Also, anyone have STIX working on an HP 9000?" I just made quick and VERY dirty changes to compile STIX on a 9000/345 running 7.0. I replaced calls to alloca() in mstcomp.c, mstsave.c, and mstsym.c to calls to malloc(), and then calls to free() just before the return of whatever function was calling alloca(). Note that there is still a call to alloca() in mst.tab.c. In this case, I just wrote a dummy alloca that just calls malloc(). (This is the VERY dirty part :-) I'll look a little more into it when I get a chance. I also coded my own version of bcopy() : void bcopy(s1, s2, l) /* assume no overlapping */ char *s1, *s2; int l; { for(;l--;) *s2++ = *s1++; } There is also a call to getdtablesize() in socket.c. You can get the desired value by calling sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX). You need to #include <unistd.h>. Note that I didn't try this. Over the weekend I didn't know how to get the desired value so I just put some arbitrary number and it worked. When I first ran mst, it didn't work until I added my machine name on line 75 of t.st. "Create the initial display connection" d _ Display host: '' display: 0. "Create the initial display connection" d _ Display host: 'my machine' display: 0. After these changes, everything went fine. Have fun, bruno.

Johnson mjohnson@stn9.calpoly.edu (129.65.19.9) Here is my context diff for st.el. I just commented out whatever didn't seem to work -- for one thing, no st-changelog elisp file is supplied, and neither did the shell-mode-map business. The result still appears to work, though I haven't flogged it yet. You're on your own with stix ;-) ---------------------------YO!
