xemacs error when calling org-install

xemacs error when calling org-install

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

Under xemacs when calling the following from org-mode-7.3 I get:

(require 'org-install)  -> Wrong number of arguments: custom-autoload, 3


This is because xemacs defines custom-autoload only with two arguments:

`custom-autoload' is a compiled Lisp function
  -- loaded from "/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.5.28-3/src/xemacs-21.5.28/lisp/custom.elc"
(custom-autoload SYMBOL LOAD)

Documentation:
Mark SYMBOL as autoloaded custom variable and add dependency LOAD.

Ciao
  Volker

This is a problem, indeed: The autoloads in org-install.el are
generated by the Makefile (i.e. make org-install.el).  The stable
version of Org mode ships with a pre-generated org-install.el and
without recreating this file with Xemacs it won't run.

The =custom-autoload= is created only once for ob-tangle.el:

,----
| ;;;###autoload
| (defcustom org-babel-tangle-lang-exts
|   '(("emacs-lisp" . "el"))
|   "Alist mapping languages to their file extensions.
| The key is the language name, the value is the string that should
| be inserted as the extension commonly used to identify files
| written in this language.  If no entry is found in this list,
| then the name of the language is used."
|   :group 'org-babel-tangle
|   :type '(repeat
|           (cons
|            (string "Language name")
|            (string "File Extension"))))
`----

As this the autoload directive was added deliberately I suppose there
was a reason for this to be there: If this is the case, there seems
not very much we can do about this.  The autoload generating function
in =autoloads.el= always creates a call to custom-autoload with a
third argument.

Best,

I've tried to run my .emacs against XEmacs, and ran into the same problem.

1. Is nobody using XEmacs with Org-mode or
2. am I missing something big?

I'm definitely using XEmacs with org-mode, but I usually lag behind a
little bit.  The problem you're citing seems to be gone, but there are
still a number of nits XEmacs runs into when trying to run the current
org-mode.  I'm testing my current set of patches, which I'll submit as
soon as things work satisfactorily.  Let me know if you want them in
advance.

Hi Michael,

good to know that you are still watching after Org's compatibility 
with XEmacs :)

No hurry.  Please send the changes when they are complete.

Thanks again,
