Subject: bug#5831: 23.1.94; htmlfontify's `hfy-which-etags' not finding etags  "standalone"
Date: Sat, 3 Apr 2010 14:41:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <u2id2afcfda1004031141w89ab1e7fwa81eb8b86e6eb6d1@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

`hfy-which-etags' fails when the etags executable in path is of type
"standalone" (not sure if this w32 specific):

(shell-command-to-string (concat hfy-etags-bin " --version"))

(executable-find hfy-etags-bin)
 ;=> "<MY-W32-PATH>/emacs-23.1.94/bin/etags.exe"

(executable-find "etags")
 ;=> "<MY-W32-PATH>/emacs-23.1.94/bin/etags.exe"

(equal (executable-find hfy-etags-bin)
       (executable-find "etags"))
 ;=> t

 (shell-command-to-string (concat  hfy-etags-bin " --version")))

 ;=> "etags (standalone 17.38.1.4)
 ; |  Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
 ; |  This program is distributed under the terms in ETAGS.README"

Its unlikey we wouldn't have an etags in path...

On a GNU/Linux evaluating same I get:

(shell-command-to-string (concat  hfy-etags-bin " --version"))
 ;=> "etags (GNU Emacs 23.1.90)
 ; |  Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
 ; |  This program is distributed under the terms in ETAGS.README"

and `hfy-which-etags' conditional _does_ match this etags exectuable.

`hfy-which-etags' conditional string-match evaluations should have a rule to
match a ``standalone'' etags.

The problem is that when `hfy-which-etags' returns false
it causes `hfy-etags-cmd' to fail:

 (cdr (assoc (hfy-which-etags) hfy-etags-cmd-alist))
  ;=> nil

if we add a new rule to `hfy-which-etags' conditional:

  ((string-match "standalone" v) "emacs etags")

then we get the appropriate shell script template:

 (cdr (assoc (hfy-which-etags) hfy-etags-cmd-alist))

 ;=> for src in `find . -type f`;
 ; |   do
 ; |     ETAGS=%s;
 ; |   { ...  lots more ellided ... }

This won't change htmlfontify's reliance on a POSIX friendly shell
(nor should it). However, the user shouldn't be restricted from using
this library _because_ she is using the executable distributed _with_
her local Emacs...

Patch follows:
