I have sources to MicroEmacs 3.8b, which I have been sitting on for
better than a year now. I am only just now getting around to building it
on an AT&T PC. I need some help, generally falling under the categories
of link errors and using a macro I heard was built into this.
First, the linking: I am using MSC 5.0 (the quick C compiler, using the
large memory model) and the "link" command to link the files. All files
compile without errors. During the link, I get a warning (_itoa symbol
multiply defined) and an error (more serious, unresolved externals).
All the "unresolved externals" are static int functions in search.c.
As a result, I get an executable file which appears to work in most
respects, except that none of the searching functions work.
Looking back on what I've written, I don't know if this communicates,
but it looks like I've got a set of functions which are only referenced
search.c which are also defined in search.c; yet the linker is having a
problem. Any ideas?
The other question concerns macros in general, but in particular a macro
I was heard built into MicroEmacs. In "vi", if the user presses the '%'
key on the keyboard, the cursor will move to the matching [{()}]. My
question: how do I do that with MicroEmacs? More broadly, does anybody
have any public domain documentation on-line that they can mail to me
on how to use and write macros? I need a tutorial, not a terse reference
work, because there is noone else around here to answer questions.
I don't normally read this newsgroup, so please reply via email to:
