Problem byte-compiling icicles

Problem byte-compiling icicles

[Nordlöw]

Hey again, Emacs icicles powercoders.


When I try to byte-compile icicles the build stops and I get the
following error

condition-case: End of file during parsing


And the debugger says:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "End of file during parsing")
  signal(error ("End of file during parsing"))
  error("%s" "End of file during parsing")
  (condition-case act-on-choice (let (...) (setq icicle-candidate-
action-fn nil) (funcall ... cmd-choice)) (quit (icicle-try-switch-
buffer orig-buff) (setq last-command last-cmd)) (error (icicle-try-
switch-buffer orig-buff) (setq last-command last-cmd) (error
"%s" ...)))
  (let* ((orig-buff ...) (orig-window ...) (last-cmd last-command)
(icicle-candidate-action-fn ...)) nil (condition-case act-on-choice
(let ... ... ...) (quit ... ...) (error ... ... ...)) (setq last-
command last-cmd))
  icicle-execute-extended-command()
  call-interactively(icicle-execute-extended-command)
  recursive-edit()
  byte-code("Æ\x10	@Ç=ƒ!


What am I doing wrong?

What command were you executing? The debugger trace shows that you used
`M-x' to execute a command - was it `byte-compile-file'? What file were you
byte-compiling? That `condition-case', with `act-on-choice', points to file
`icicles-mac.el' as the file being compiled. However, I don't see any end of
file problem in that file, and I have no trouble with `M-x byte-compile-file
icicles-mac.el'. What is the update number of your file `icicles-mac.el'
(it's in the file header)? What happens if you try just this in a virgin
Emacs session (emacs -q): `M-x load-file icicles-mac.el' - do you get an
end-of-file error? What version of Emacs are you using?

It's possible that `icicles-mac.el' was corrupted when you downloaded it. I
just checked, and the file is OK on Emacs Wiki. You might try downloading it
again. Then, try first to just load it, without byte-compiling, to see if
you get an error. Then try byte-compiling it again. Let me know if you still
have a problem.

I run the command "byte-compile-file" on icicles.el. All the others
compiles fine.
I realize now that icicles.el does not need to be compiled and perhaps
should not be compiled. If so, excuse me.

You should be able to byte-compile icicles.el; I do. I byte-compiled it just
now, starting from emacs -Q. I even downloaded it from the wiki, to make
sure the wiki copy was not corrupted. It works for me, using GNU Emacs
22.1.50.1 built on 2007-05-22. It also byte-compiles OK for me using other
Emacs 22 builds, Emacs 21.3.1, and Emacs 20.7.

To byte-compile icicles.el, you first need to load the other Icicles files -
the byte compiler tells you that, if you try compiling without loading the
needed files.

You will need to provide more information if you expect help. Please see the
questions in my previous email. Did you start from emacs -Q? It sounds as if
there might be something wrong with your Emacs environment (e.g. something
in your .emacs or custom file that is causing trouble), or perhaps one of
the Icicles files you downloaded is corrupted.

Feel free to take this discussion off list, unless you really think there is
value in sharing it with others.
