HELP with cc-mode and emacs

[Chris]

Hi all
   I downloaded the latest version of cc-mode (5.31.3) from http://cc-
mode.sourceforge.net/.  Stuck the files in a sub-dir and compiled per 
the instructions 

 "emacs  -batch -no-site-file -q -f batch-byte-compile cc-*.el"

Got the following errors:

They messages aren't errors, they're just informational messages.  Some
of them are XEmacs functions (CC Mode is intended to work with both GNU
Emacs and XEmacs), the other one (delete-duplicates) is a "CL" function.
(In the "Common Lisp" extension of Emacs Lisp).  It looks like your CC
Mode has been properly compiled.  :-)

(Incidentally, it is usually helpful to state what Emacs you're building
on (M-x emacs-version), although here it seems clear you're using GNU
Emacs 21.3)

That looks like you've got too few ")"s in your .emacs.el.  Presumably
you've just edited this file to put your .cc-mode-5.3.1.1 directory into
load-path.  Check that your last change to .emacs.el was syntactically
correct.  You can do this with "emacs -q" followed by loading your
.emacs.el with C-x C-f and looking at it.  Alternatively .....

..... you can use "emacs --debug-init", like the error messages says.
This should give you something to go by, or at least something you can
post here if it doesn't seem to make any sense.

Re: HELP with cc-mode and emacs

[Chris]

I did have a syntax error in .emacs.el file.
2 double quotes in path name where there should have been only one.

Now, when I attempt to load a file with the .cpp (or .c) extension, I get 
the following error in the Message Buffer

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

and it does not 'colorize'




Thank You So Much! for the help

Again, I'm having to guess what you've done.  What I think you've done is
to add some entries to auto-mode-alist, something like this:

    ("\\.c\\'" . cc-mode)

(in your .emacs.el, of course).  There isn't, in fact, a function called
cc-mode.  There's c-mode, c++-mode, java-mode, objc-mode, idl-mode,
pike-mode and awk-mode.  It even tells you this in the Fine Manual which
came with the distribution (on page "Introduction" :-).  If you haven't
got the tool to generate the info file (i.e. makeinfo), there's an
online version of the manual at
<http://cc-mode.sf.net/html-manual/index.html>.  But I urge you to get
and use makeinfo, and install cc-mode.info in your Emacs; just as soon as
you've thrown off any residual frustration, rage and confusion.  ;-)

The auto-mode-alist as it already was should have had the necessary
entries.  So if you remove your additions to it, it will _hopefully_
work.

Again, I might be wrong about auto-mode-alist.  When you ask for help
with a problem like this, it's always best to write down everything
you've changed - for example:

    "After compiling CC Mode, I extended auto-mode-alist like this, so
    that loading my C files would get the new mode:

        (push '("\\.c\\'" . cc-mode) auto-mode-alist)."

Then we can see much more easily what's gone wrong.  Surprisingly often,
when you do this, you'll get a "Eureka moment" before you even fire the
email off.
 
> and it does not 'colorize'

No.  It will do though, when it finds the mode.  The Emacs jargon for
this is "Font Locking", by the way.  No, it doesn't make sense.  ;-)

> Thank You So Much! for the help 

No problem!  Hope you get it sorted out this time.

These messages do not mean much, in any case they do *not* mean errors.

"Might not be defined at runtime" expresses that in the byte- 
compiling environment this function was loaded from some external  
source or it was not found in the dumped image; look into loadup.el!  
"The following functions are not known to be defined" describes a  
similiar situation.

OK.  I think you'd compiled CC Mode OK the first time, but recompiling
won't have done any harm.

That looks fine.

> (add-hook 'awk-mode-hook '(lambda () (font-lock-mode 1)))

This looks to be not false, but probably not quite what you want.  It
will enable font-lock only for AWK files.  To enable Font Lock for all
of the CC Mode modes, use this:

    (add-hook 'cc-mode-common-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)

These are definitely wrong.  You want to edit .cpp files with c++-mode,
not awk-mode.  The seven modes (c-mode, c++-mode, java-mode, objc-mode,
idl-mode, pike-mode, awk-mode) are variants on a single theme, but
aren't identical.

You should just remove these three lines; those settings were already in
Emacs-21.3.

> Any ideas?    Thanks Again
 
Er...  Um...  How is your system, set up as you've just described, not
working right at the moment?  This is quite helpful information.  ;-)
