From research!TEMS.DECNET!ELSTON Wed Oct 13 14:06:16 1993

From: ELSTON%TEMS.DECNET@EDWARDS-TEMS.AF.MIL (Mark Elston)
Subject: Re: Installing AUC-TeX for GNU Emacs 18.58 under VMS
To: "BOOT2::PONY%""auc-tex@iesd.auc.dk"""@TEMS.DECNET
In answering my own question about getting AUC-TeX to work under VMS I
got a helpful response from Kobayashi Shinji regarding the use of
slashes in the filenames. For everyone's information I have been able
to get AUC-TeX working (apparently) and here are the changes that I
needed to make to get it up and working. BTW these changes are
necessary due to the nature of VMS's file system. Devices are specified
by a name followed by a colon, directories are specified by the directory
names separated by periods, "." and all of them surrounded by brackets, "[]".
File names are appended to the closing bracket.
Thus the file "LOGIN.COM" on device DISK1 in the USER directory and
the ELSTON subdirectory would be specified DISK1:[USER.ELSTON]LOGIN.COM .
This is a simplified explanation and does not take into account logical
names, relative paths, etc, but suffices for my purpose.
This did not fit in well with how AUC-TeX specified file names and
directories.
The changes I made were as follows:
------------------------------------
In the file TEX-SITE.EL:
;;;(defvar TeX-lisp-directory "/usr/local/lib/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/"
;;; "*The directory where the AUC TeX lisp files are located.
;;;
;;;The directory name *must* end with a slash.")
;;;
(defvar TeX-lisp-directory "EMACS_LIBRARY:[AUCTEX."
"*The directory where the AUC TeX lisp files are located.")
;;;(defvar TeX-macro-global
;;; '("/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/" "/usr/local/lib/tex/generate/")
;;; "*Directories containing the sites TeX macro files and style files.
;;;
;;;The directory names *must* end with a slash.")
(defvar TeX-macro-global
'("TEX_ROOT:[INPUTS.")
"*Directories containing the sites TeX macro files and style files.")
------------------------------------
In the file TEX-INIT.EL:
;;; @@ Style Paths
(defvar TeX-format-directory (concat TeX-lisp-directory "format]")
"*Directory containing information about TeX format packages.
Must end with a slash.")
(defvar TeX-auto-global (concat TeX-lisp-directory "auto]")
"*Directory containing automatically generated information.
Must end with a slash.
For storing automatic extracted information about the TeX macros
shared by all users of a site.")
(defvar TeX-style-global (concat TeX-lisp-directory "style]")
"*Directory containing hand generated TeX information.
Must end with a slash.
These correspond to TeX macros shared by all users of a site.")
(defvar TeX-auto-local "auto]"
"*Directory containing automatically generated TeX information.
Must end with a slash.
This correspond to TeX macros found in the current directory.")
(defvar TeX-style-local "style]"
"*Directory containing hand generated TeX information.
Must end with a slash.
These correspond to TeX macros found in the current directory.")
(defvar TeX-macro-private (list (expand-file-name "TEX_ROOT:[INPUT.LOCAL."))
"*Directories where you store your personal TeX macros.
Each must end with a slash.")
------------------------------------
Also in file TEX-INIT.EL in the TeX-load-style function note below the
two lines marked and notice that the slashes have been replaced with
']'.
(defun TeX-load-style (style)
"Search for and load each definition for style in TeX-style-path."
(if (assoc style TeX-style-hook-list)
;; We already found it
()
;; Insert empty list to mark the fact that we have searched.
(setq TeX-style-hook-list (cons (list style) TeX-style-hook-list))
;; Now check each element of the path
(mapcar (function
(lambda (name)
(let* ((name (if (string-match "]$" name) <------------|
name
(concat name "]"))) <------------|
(el (concat name style ".el"))
(elc (concat name style ".elc")))
(cond ((and (null TeX-byte-compile)
(file-readable-p el))
(load-file el))
((file-newer-than-file-p el elc)
(if (not (file-writable-p elc))
(load-file el)
(byte-compile-file el)
(load-file elc)))
((file-readable-p elc)
(load-file elc))
((file-readable-p el)
(load-file el))))))
TeX-style-path)))
------------------------------------
That was what I had to do to get AUC-TeX running under VMS. I am not
sure whether this accomplishes all that is necessary but it seems to
have done what was necessary to get AUC-TeX out of Fundamental mode.
Thanks for the help I recieved and I hope this helps someone else.
Mark.
