This should be readily adaptable for other operating systems but since I've just gone through the task of getting this working on Windows XP I thought I would document the result.
emacs.factor
Modification First, as of this date (11/16/2008) the basis/editors/emacs/emacs.factor
that ships needs a slight modification. Slava is aware of this so presumably this won't be necessary soon, but you might want to check.
basis/editors/emacs/emacs.factor
modified: USING: definitions io.launcher kernel parser words sequences math math.parser namespaces editors make system ; IN: editors.emacs : emacsclient ( file line -- ) [ \ emacsclient get "emacsclient" or , os windows? [ "--no-wait" , ] unless "+" swap number>string append , , ] { } make try-process ; : emacs ( word -- ) where first2 emacsclient ; [ emacsclient ] edit-hook set-global
Note: the addition of system
to the USING list and the check for non-windows for the "--no-wait" option for emacs.
Add the following to your /.emacs or other appropriate startup location:
;;; Factor (load-file "d:/Program Files/factor/misc/factor.el") (setq factor-binary "d:/Program Files/factor/factor.exe") (setq factor-image "d:/Program Files/factor/factor.image")'
Be sure to change the paths appropriately of course.
Finally you need to inform factor that you want to use Emacs as your browser. Create or modify the .factor-rc
file in your home directory. You can find out what factor thinks is your home directory with
USE: io.files home .
and you can even have factor create a blank file in the proper location with
home ".factor-rc" append-path touch-file
Edit that file and add something like:
USING: namespaces editors.emacs ; "d:/Program Files/emacs-22.3/bin/emacs.exe" \ emacsclient set-global
again, change the path appropriately.
At this point factor should now be integrated with emacs.
