Emacs modes for mods and maps

[Johan K]

This was harder than I thought. I get this cryptic error (I know nothing about emacs lisp files) after having added "require 'dommod-mode" to my .emacs.

File mode specification error: (void-function dommod-mode)

Trace:

Hmm. The error is that I've used a function, delete-duplicates, that's apparently not part of your Emacs environment. Sorry about that, I was under the impression that it was a standard function.

I'll look into removing that function call or finding out where the delete-duplicates function can be found.

Okay, found it. delete-duplicates is from a CommonList extension to Emacs. If you're lucky it's already installed, just not automatically loaded. Try adding the line "(require 'cl)" to your .emacs file, before the two require statements for dommod-mode and dommap-mode.

If that doesn't sort it, you'll have to find and download this package (it's hopefully a standard package for your distribution); and if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to rewrite the code to do away with those function calls. That might take some time before I get the opportunity to do, though.

It worked, thanks!

where would you find the loadpath or .emacs file on windows?

[Leif_-]

I think it's easier if I just refer to what the Emacs Wiki has to say on loadpaths. (Read the bit at the bottom about debugging first.)

[Leif_-]

Note!

There's a new version of the emacs modes with support for the Dominions 3 specific keywords. They can be found attached to the first post of this thread.

I got it working! This is so much easier when you just use Linux

only wokrs if I use M-x load-file manually before opening a dm file. I wonder why my .emacs file isn't working. but its great just having a syntax
