Running GNU Emacs 23.3.1 on Windows 2000. I'm trying to use w3m via
emacs_w3m. Every time I enter an M-x w3m- command, or just M-x w3m, I
get the
'Wrong type argument: stringp, nil" error
I think the problem is because w3m is not installed as an executable
on my system. In the w3m doc, under installation, all there is is "No
problem. :)". Oddly, I can't seem to find anything that resembles the
bona fide w3m executable. Anyone know where the executable is and
what it is named?
Installation of emacs_w3m (v1.3.3) went just fine (I had to create a
couple directories, but that worked just fine). Here is the
installation from a DOS prompt:
C:\Program Files\emacs\emacs-21.3\bin>emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l
c:/Progra~1/emacs/site/emacs-w3m-1.3.3/w3mhack.el NONE -f
w3mhack-nonunix-install
emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l
c:/Progra~1/emacs/site/emacs-w3m-1.3.3/w3mhack.el NONE -f
w3mhack-nonunix-install
`fns-21.3.1.elc' is up to date
cp fns-21.3.1.el c:/Program Files/emacs/site-lisp/w3m/fns-21.3.1.el
cp fns-21.3.1.elc c:/Program Files/emacs/site-lisp/w3m/fns-21.3.1.elc
C:\Program Files\emacs\emacs-21.3\bin>
All my packages are up to date, and my .emacs file is below (to find
all related to 'w3m', just search on 'w3').
;; This is a web programmer's .emacs file for GNU Emacs.
;; It has been tested on GNU Emacs version 21.3.1 on Windows 2000,
;; Service Pack 3.

;; General Notes: It is often said that a new Emacs user should stay
away from old, crusty
;; '.emacs' files from others. However, the only way
that I ever was able
;; to get a reasonable return on the investment of my
time put into setting
;; up my Emacs configurations was by borrowing code
snippets from others.
;; It is true that no '.emacs' file should be used
uncritically, by newbie or
;; by others.
;;
;; However, for the best user base, new users should
be able to
;; fairly easily clip out sections of '.emacs' files
that interest them and put
;; them to use right away in their own '.emacs' files.
To this end, I have
;; attempted to effectively segment the various
independent components of this
;; '.emacs' file and have documented what I have done
as clearly as possible.
;; It's very exciting how Emacs modes related to
software engineering for the
;; web are maturing.
;;
;; ------------ Invocation of Gnu Emacs on Win2K:
;;
;; From Windows shortcut icon with these properties on shortcut's
'Properties' menu:
;; 'Target':
;; "C:\Program Files\emacs\emacs-21.3\bin\runemacs.exe" -l
~/.emacs
;; 'Start in' (Note: I use Cygwin, see below):
;; C:/cygwin/home/Administrator/
;;
;; Set user-specific 'HOME' environment variable to
'C:/cygwin/home/Administrator', which is
;; the directory in which my '.emacs' file is located. Do this by
going to the Control Panel,
;; then to 'System', then to 'Advanced', then to 'Environment
Variables', the to 'Variables
;; for <user>'.
;; ------------ Commense lisping:
;; Add the site directory (the site directory is used to contain
non-core Emacs Lisp packages)
;; to the Emacs load-path. The Emacs load-path is
;; the list of directories where Emacs searches for packages that you
require.
;; This must be at the head of your .emacs file. This code prepends
the site directory to the load path:
;; Standard emacs lisp access (for non-byte-compiled access):
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/emacs-21.3/site-lisp/"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/emacs-21.3/site/lisp/progmodes/"))
;; System-wide emacs customizations:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/site/"))
;; Personal emacs/site:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/emacs/site/"))
;; So that Emacs can find the home directory files (desktop, etc.):
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/"))
;; Specific Packages:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/site/eieio-0.17/"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/site/semantic-1.4.4/"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/site/speedbar-0.14beta4/"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/site/elib-1.0/"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/site/psgml-1.2.5/"))
;; For Emacs JDE (from http://sunsite.dk/jde/):
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/site/jde-2.3.2/lisp/"))
;; For the Emacs Web Browser:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/site/emacs-w3m-1.3.3/"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/emacs/site-lisp/w3m/"))
;; On Windows 2000, it is sufficient to set the user-specific 'HOME'
environment
;; variable (see above) to the path to your .emacs file. For example,
mine goes to:
;; 'C:/cygwin/home/Administrator'. Most other systems should have a
;; reasonably sane approach to doing this. These approaches are best.
;; However, if on some other system you have
;; trouble saving your customizations (meaning, the customizations
possible
;; through the command ESC-x customize-group, and meaning, the error
message
;; 'saving settings from 'emacs -q' would overwrite customizations'),
;; explicitly assigning the 'user-init-file' variable is a sure-fire
way
;; to avoid the problem:
;; (setq user-init-file (expand-file-name "~/.emacs")
;; custom-file (expand-file-name "~/.emacs"))
;; For use of Bash shell via Cygwin on Windows 2000 (or NT), available

;; http://www.cygwin.com/
;; (if you do not have Cygwin installed, comment all of this section

;; default) and that C:\cygwin\bin is not already in your

catalog file,
;; you can include them all, separating them with a path delimiter
(";" on Windows,
;; ":" on UNIX-based systems).

The lack of a w3m executable is exactly what's causing your problem.
I've got a version compiled under cygwin for this program. If you're
interested, I'll send you a copy. You'll need the cygwin libraries to
run them, but they're free for the download.

Wow, that would be just great!! I use Cygwin quite a bit. You could
send it to me or if you have a link where I could download it from,
you could just send me the link.
Do you know where to find English instructions for compiling w3m?

Well, the README file in the source distribution says:
If you can read English, see doc/*.
And sure enough, the doc/README file has a section on Installation that refers
Windows users to the doc/README.cygwin file (attached).

***How to compile w3m on Windows***
To compile w3m on MS-Windows, you have to use Cygwin32 with development
tools. You can get it from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/ .
After installing Cygwin32, what you have to do first is
TERM=ansi; export TERM
sh configure
and
make

Well I did find those build instructions and now w3m v0.4.1 runs great
from a plain Cygwin shell. But, I noticed that while w3m_el-1.2.8
claims to run with the latest w3m, it actually needs w3m v0.3 (see
below).
I am still getting the same error as before, although I can see
relevant packages loading when on a fresh run of Emacs I enter
w3m-browse-url. I doubt that a basic command line parameter would
change from 0.3 to 0.4.1, but it seems that some kind of argument to a
function is amiss.
It would be great to be able to browse Javadoc and other HTML doc with
a web browser inside Emacs! Do you think that the problem is the
mismatch between w3m_el and w3m?
>From README at c:/Program Files/emacs/site/w3m_el-1.2.8/ ->
4. Version of w3m
Because this program is sensitive to version of w3m, the latest
version of w3m should be used. Its latest official version is 0.3,
which is released at March 6th, 2002. Its source can be downloaded
from:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w3m/w3m-0.3.tar.gz

The online manual for Emacs-w3m says,
Emacs-w3m requires the latest version of w3m (version 0.3.1 and
later).
while the Readme that came with the distribution specifies 0.3.1 only.
The online manual for Emacs-w3m also says,
In order to handle text/html part with emacs-w3m under SEMI MUAs
such as T-gnus and Wanderlust, you have to put the following line in
your ~/.emacs file:
(require 'mime-w3m)
I don't run gnus or Wanderlust, and if I try putting in this line, I
get the stringp, nil error. I suppose though that this is an
unrelated coincidence.
Well, it would be great to see w3m run inside Emacs.

Hmmm....
I'm using emacs-21.3.1 on Windows XP (no image support version).
In response to your message, I downloaded the latest version of
w3m (0.4.1) and compiled it with the cygwin libraries on my system.

it's not the version of w3m you're using.
Here are my w3m settings... maybe these might help. CYGWIN_DIR is a

This is a very wild suggestion.
C-h v
browse-url-new-window-flag
if this variable is set to 'nil', set it to 't', and try again.
In emacs 21, I get that error with mozilla if the variable is set to
nil.

It's working now with http:// urls! The problem was as we suspected,
that Emacs-w3m was not finding w3m.exe. I had a symbolic link in
C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\ to the location of w3m.exe, and that wouldn't
execute from Emacs, although my Emacs is set to interoperate with
Cygwin, and although my Cygwin will run w3m just fine from the
symbolic link.
So I just did the following (a modification of your similar command):
(setq w3m-command (concat "c:/Program
Files/emacs/site/w3m-0.4.1/w3m.exe" ""))
I also had to put the above line before the "load-library" statements.
I don't know Lisp really but there must be a more elegant way to set
w3m-command than concatenating a string to an empty string (!) as I do
above.
Finally, does anyone know how to point w3m to its cgi, or, more
generally, how to just get it to work with local files? My main
motivation for using w3m is to access Javadoc and other types of HTML
doc very fast -- it works g-r-r-reat for that as an Emacs HTML
browser. But when I try to browse a local file directory, I get
"Cannot load c:/usr/local/lib/w3m/dirlist.cgi" or "Cannot retrieve
URL".
I am using the same Emacs ( GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.0.2195) )
and w3m as you are:
~/w3m -version
w3m version w3m/0.4.1, options
lang=en,image,color,mouse,menu,cookie,external-uri-loader,w3mmailer,nntp,gopher,alarm,mark
TLSWE-LAPTOP-A0 Thu Jun 05 11:33:23
~/
Thanks so much! It is really exciting to be able to browse HTML doc
from inside Emacs.

Does it work if you specify a valid URL
file://localhost/c:usr/local/lib/w3m/dirlist.cgi
or whatever is correct for file names with drive letters.

Having set LIB (export) in .bashrc (/usr/local/lib/w3m/cgi-bin), and
for good measure set it as a Windows system environment variable, w3m
will browse local file directories with a normal file url as will any
other standard browser:
file:///c:/
and so on just great. This is because it uses 'dirlist.cgi' to do so,
and can find said CGI program. I saw someone using 'dirlist.bat' in
their .emacs file w3m section, and wonder if that would work.
But, CGI still doesn't work from within Emacs (user permissions are
correct). So so far I can't get local directory listings via w3m in
Emacs (I haven't tried 'dirlist.bat'). See the following URL (all one
line):
http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:5RORbQf_lNIJ:emacs-w3m.namazu.org/ml/msg04213.html+w3m+cgi+LIB+emacs&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
Most people keep a lot of HTML files outside of their local web server
root, and thus, those files can't be served over http unless they are
moved to somewhere under the server root.
Unfortunately, merely putting in a Cygwin symbolic link doesn't work
for w3m on Windows. So until Clemens Fischer or some such beneficent
soul gets CGI to work in emacs-w3m, I'll have to move the Javadoc.
