Erlang rig in Emacs
So I finally got a bit of time to get back to Erlang, and caught up on Kevin Smith’s screencasts. Watching him work with flymake enabled reminded me that when I set up his emacs/erlang rig earlier, I never got flymake to work. Well, I finally did, so thought I’d share my changes.
Looking at ‘git diff’ I see I changed erlang_mode_config.el with my paths to Erlang stuffies:
-(add-to-list 'load-path "/opt/lib/erlang/lib/tools-2.6.1/emacs") +(add-to-list 'load-path "/opt/local/lib/erlang/lib/tools-2.6.1/emacs") (require 'erlang-start) (setq erlang-indent-level 2) -(add-to-list 'exec-path "/opt/bin") -(setq erlang-root-dir "/opt") +(add-to-list 'exec-path "/opt/local/lib/erlang/bin") +(setq erlang-root-dir "/opt/local/lib/erlang")
Now, on to flymake_config.el, where I had another path change b/c I didn’t put things in exactly the same place on my machine.
- (list "~/emacs/flymake/bin/eflymake" (list local-file)))) + (list "~/dev/erlang/kevsmith/emacs/flymake/bin/eflymake" (list local-file))))
Then, to recompile the .elc files, I ran this:
emacs -q --no-site-file -batch -eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \".\")" -f batch-byte-compile *.el
The same path changes were required in eflymake script, on the top line.
-#!/opt/bin/escript +#!/opt/local/lib/erlang/bin/escript
Of course, the thing to do would be to modify these files to have one place for these settings to reside, and be more easily customizable for all. But since I have things working, I want to get back to coding. I hope to feel like before this was like ‘coding in the dark.’ Off to code…
