I'm very close to having emacs set up just the way I want it but 
csound-x is causing a few problems for me. When I include (require 
'stef-elisp) in my .emacs file I get the following error at startup:

------------------------------------------------------------
("C:\\emacs-22.1\\bin\\emacs.exe")
Loading encoded-kb...done
Loading cua-base...done
Loading desktop...done
Loading cl-macs...done
Loading cl-seq...done


An error has occurred while loading `c:/emacs-22.1/.emacs':

Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

Desktop: 1 buffer restored.
For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.
Auto-saving...done
Quit
Wrote c:/emacs-22.1/.emacs
------------------------------------------------------------

If I take it out everything starts fine. Any ideas? I can post my .emacs 
file is that helps.

Rory.

if you take it out, start emacs then evaluate (require 'stef-elisp) 
interactively, what happens ?

if that fails, please turn "Enter debugger on error" on (that's in the 
"Options" menu), try again and send me the resulting walkback, along 
with your .emacs file.

regards,

Stef

ok, got the bug.

replace the csound-csd.el file in your csound-x directory with the one 
attached and tell me how it goes.

Stef

It now runs but I don't get any syntax highlighting? I can customise the 
group but when I load a csd I don't get any syntax highlighting. Any 
ideas on what could be wrong, I assume that once (require 'stef-elisp) 
is added to my .emacs file that any csd would be recognised?

Rory.

did you install MMM-mode ?

Stef

Yes, I just built it but I'm not sure how to install it? I just left it 
where is built and added the following to my emacs file:

(global-set-key "\C-l" 'goto-line)
(setq load-path (cons "C:/emacs-22.1/mmm-mode-0.4.8" load-path))
(require 'mmm-mode)
(require 'stef-elisp)

csound-x is definitely loading but still no coloured csds.

Rory.

actually the (require 'mmm-mode) is not needed, csound-x.el takes care 
of it. having it in the load-path should be enough; I don't see why 
requiring it would cause any trouble though.

if you start the CSD mode manually in a csd buffer (with command 
'csound-csd-mode) do you get the fontification ?


Stef

If I do Alt-: and enter 'csound-csd-mode it return csound-csd-mode but 
nothing happens. I remind you again that I'm using windows, could this 
be an issue?

hello list

I contacted Rory personnally and it seems the problem is kind of solved. 
For the record, it looks like the emacs packages 'windows and 'revive 
(or possibly just one of them) mess up csound-x. I'll put a warning in 
the bug section of csound-x info pages. Any feedback welcome, as usual...


Stef

A final note to say that if one puts (require 'stef-elisp) before 
loading 'revive and 'windows it works fine. Thanks again for the help,

Rory.
