 |
|
I didn't even know pretty emacs existed until yesterday, but it sounds like something I'd really like to try.
It's (apparently) gnu emacs with GTK support, so your gnu emacs environment can optionally run in a window when you're at a gnome desktop. It's (again, apparently) not XEmacs, that's the first thing I asked.
It's packaged on debian as http://packages.debian.org/unstable/editors/emacs-snapshot-gtk, but I don't find a proper home page for this version of gnu emacs.
Anyone know more about it, and have we any emacs gurus who can be enticed to add 'gtk' as a USE var to our emacs ebuild? Should I file a feature request for it? Thanks. |

Oh, I see that emacs-cvs has a gtk USE var, that must be the one.
Do I still USE="-X" to prevent XEmacs from being built? I do that with the regular emacs package. Thanks.
| Code: |
/usr/portage/app-editors/emacs-cvs/emacs-cvs-22.0.97.ebuild
if use X; then
myconf="${myconf} --with-x"
myconf="${myconf} --with-xpm"
myconf="${myconf} $(use_with toolkit-scroll-bars)"
myconf="${myconf} $(use_with jpeg) $(use_with tiff)"
myconf="${myconf} $(use_with gif) $(use_with png)"
if use gtk; then
einfo "Configuring to build with GTK support"
myconf="${myconf} --with-x-toolkit=gtk"
elif use Xaw3d; then
einfo "Configuring to build with Xaw3d(athena) support"
myconf="${myconf} --with-x-toolkit=athena"
myconf="${myconf} --without-gtk"
myconf="${myconf} --with-x-toolkit=lucid"
elif use motif; then
einfo "Configuring to build with motif toolkit support"
myconf="${myconf} --without-gtk"
myconf="${myconf} --with-x-toolkit=motif"
elif use lesstif; then
einfo "Configuring to build with lesstif toolkit support"
myconf="${myconf} --without-gtk"
myconf="${myconf} --with-x-toolkit=motif"
fi
else
myconf="${myconf} --without-x"
fi |
I'm a little confused as to whether that --with-x will build XEmacs with gtk support.
I don't want to mix in XEmacs' here, I'd like to build specifically/only GNU emacs, and hopefully have some method of command-line control whether it opens in a gnome-terminal window (e.g. for postmortem python debuggers, etc.) or in its own GTK window if started with the proper command line or desktop shortcut. Thanks. |

XEmacs is a completely separate package... emerging emacs with the X flag will give you an emacs gui (not sure what the default GUI library is, but it can use motif, and optionally the 3d athena widget set).
emacs-cvs has gtk gui support... but it still isn't emacs. emacs-cvs is the developer version of emacs, as they're still coding up the next official version.
So there are at least 3 emacs builds in portage (there are other emacsen such as qemacs, etc.):

Hi you must use the .23 version (CVS) in order to have the AA fonts and the gtk interface. | Code: | emerge -pv emacs-cvs
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-23.0.0-r1 USE="X gif gtk jpeg nls png spell tiff toolkit-scroll-bars xft -Xaw3d (-aqua) -gzip-el -source" 0 kB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
|
Enjoy! 
EDIT : | Code: |
euse -i xft
global use flags (searching: xft)
************************************************************
no matching entries found
local use flags (searching: xft)
************************************************************
[- ] xft (app-editors/emacs-cvs):
Build Emacs with support for the XFT font renderer (ie. the XFT_JHD_BRANCH branch from CVS) |

It is indeed. I have been using it for a few months now, and it works perfectly, and looks much nicer than standard emacs. You need to set the USE="gtk" flag.
| Quote: | | Do I still USE="-X" to prevent XEmacs from being built? I do that with the regular emacs package. |
As others have said, xemacs is a completely different package. You need USE="X" also with emacs-cvs, otherwise you will get no GUI (hence no GTK support either). |

I tried using emacs-cvs a few months ago, and actually preferred the normal one. Anyway, I figured I'd try it again, but I got the same error as chiefmonkey. |

It may be worth trying again next day: it is a live CVS after all and, in the past, a failed compilation one day has run without trouble a day or two later.

As a side note: If you have USE=gtk, GTK+ is chosen over all other toolkits (Xaw3d, motif) from Emacs 22 on. We currently have the following ebuilds:
app-editors/emacs-21.4: Emacs 21.4 release with some additional patches that only fix build errors.
app-editors/emacs-22.1: Emacs 22.1 release (GTK+ support), with some patches to have proper USE flag handling
app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.1.50: Live ebuild for the EMACS_22_BASE branch which will become another 22.x release someday
app-editors/emacs-cvs-23.0.0: unicode-2 branch of Emacs, which has completely rewritten encoding handling, will be merged in the main line (no ebuild for that, though)
app-editors/emacs-cvs-23.1.50: multi-tty branch (ebuild only available from the Emacs overlay), which adds the multi-tty patches, so same content can be displayed on several displays, will be merged into main line |
