Re: .syntax file syntax changed since 4.5.4x?
Hello! I'm porting my .syntax hilite files from AMC (uses syntax code from 4.5.4x) and found that the /nn number codes has gone. I've never understood their purpose but all my syntax files contains them after each color code. They are gone precisely for that reason - because they serve no purpose for mc. The color after the slash is for cooledit. The color before the slash is for mcedit. I only left the colors for cooledit when they had names, e.g. Orange. In this case I knew that the choice of the color was intentional. Numbers like 24 were often wrong, so I removed them. The syntax didn't change, I just didn't want to force everybody to provide the colors for Cooledit just because everybody is doing it. If you care about Cooledit, the separate color set is welcome, as long as you use meaningful color names and you have tested the ruleset with Cooledit. If you don't care about Cooledit, then please don't pretend that you do. If you haven't tested the ruleset with Cooledit, then please remove the numbers. After some more RTFM i've found opposite things written. It's fixed now. Thank you. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
An old patch
Hi All,
Finally I was able to find the MC headquarters! :-)
I use an ancient mc (version so old it is unimportant) on Solaris. Ages ago I have
patched its sources to have a (for me) very useful added feature. That is: you can
tell in the menu/extension file, if a prompt can be left empty:
8
m Run make with no pars, output to makeout
TARGET=%{.Enter parameters}
dtterm -geometry 184x67+0+0 -title Make -e wwmake $TARGET
8
This is an example of the use of it: my Makefile handler. Please observe the .
immediately after the opening curly brace! It is very convenient. I just press F2-m
and then an enter to start make for the default target.
Now - of course - I absolutely do not remember what I have changed. But I can diff to
the original sources to tell. I do not remember if I did the same change for the
extension file or not - of course it would be helpful there as well.
Why do I write? I would like to get this change into the official version. I have
tried to compile it here - but it want glibc and other stuff I do not have - and I do
not have time now to download and build everything. Especialy because I have to
configure things with an awful lot of changes due to our restricted environment (and
ancient compilers).
My question: could anyone add this simple change to the current code or help me to do
it? I am absolutely not familiar with sourceforge and CVS. :-( I better be, but I am
not.
Please mail me directly!
Attila
