Emacs 21.2 and MySQL 3.23.49 available

Emacs 21.2 and MySQL 3.23.49 are now available for
QNX 6.2 release version (NC will do). Point the
“old” package installer, pkg-installer, at the
repository at
http://developers.cogentrts.com/repository
and install from there.

Notes:

  1. There is no source available for MySQL, and the
    source archive for emacs doesn’t compile. In
    both cases we had to hack the C libraries and
    headers to get them to compile and run.
  2. Emacs requires that you install the X-Windows
    libraries, even if you plan to run in a
    terminal with “emacs -nw”. The best choice is
    to install XFree86 from the 3rd-party CD, and
    create the link:
    ln -s …/opt/X11R6 /usr
    then run XPhoton to get a session within Photon.
    If you don’t want to download the entire 3rd-
    party CD just for XFree86, point the package
    installer at:
    http://qnx.wox.org/qnxpub100

Cheers,

I am running emacs now. Works great but I have one question.
I am using a few scripts(*.el) where do I need to put them in order to
ensure that emacs load them on startup?

The only solution I found was to cat them all togethor in one file, and
then doing a emacs --load startup.el MyFile.cc but this is a bit
anoying. How do I set emacs to load them on startup?

If somebody doesn’t give you an emacs solution, there is always

alias emacs=“emacs --load startup.el”

I am pretty sure this would work (please note I am not an emacs lisp
expert):

  1. Create a .emacs in your root.
  2. Add following lines to the .emacs:

(load “file1”)
(load “file2”)

where file1.el and file2.el are the files you want to load.

I do the above with cc-mode in my .emacs. I can’t remember if your .el files
needs to be compiled into .elc before above will work. If you need to
compile the .el files then try following:

emacs -q -no-site-file --batch -f batch-byte-compile *.el
