tramp, emacs, xp, putty

[MitchellCowen]

Hi all.

I've been browsing through the list archives but I still don't
understand how to install tramp to work with normal emacs [not xemacs
or emacsW32] on XP.  Someone says that emacs22 already has tramp but I
don't see the binary at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ .

This is what I've tried so far:
1.  Downloaded cygwin
2.  Downloaded tramp
3.  Unpacked tramp to C:\Program Files\emacs\emacs-21.3\tramp-2.1.7
4.  change directory to the tramp-2.1.7 directory
5.  ./configure --with-contrib --with-lispdir='C:/Program
Files/Emacs/site-lisp'  --infodir='C:/Program Files/Emacs/info'

I get the response
: command not found4:
./configure: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
./configure: line 24 'case set -o 2> /dev/null' in *posix *>set -o
posix;;' sac

I am assuming this is some problem with cygwin.  Any ideas how to do
this correctly?

If I do get tramp installed, is this what I need to put in .emacs?


; tramp stuff
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Program
File/emacs/emacs-21.3/tramp-2.1.7/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Program
Files/emacs/emacs-21.3/tramp-2.1.7/")
(require 'tramp)
(setq tramp-debug-buffer t) ;; optional
(add-to-list
 'tramp-methods
 '("plink"
   (tramp-connection-function  tramp-open-connection-rsh)
   (tramp-rsh-program          "plink")
   (tramp-rcp-program          nil)
   (tramp-remote-sh            "/bin/sh")
   (tramp-rsh-args             ("-v" "-ssh")) ;; "-v" optional
   (tramp-rcp-args             nil)
   (tramp-rcp-keep-date-arg    nil)
   (tramp-su-program           nil)
   (tramp-su-args              nil)
   (tramp-encoding-command     "uuencode xxx")
   (tramp-decoding-command     "uudecode -p")
   (tramp-encoding-function    nil)
   (tramp-decoding-function    uudecode-decode-region)
   (tramp-telnet-program       nil)
   (tramp-telnet-args          nil)))
(setq tramp-default-method "plink")

Emacs 22 was not yet released, but you can find the binary on the same
site as emacsW32: there's an unpatched binary there.

I suggest to get a native Windows binary of Emacs 22, it all works
there out of the box, no customizations in .emacs are necessary.

Emacs 22 carries Tramp 2.0. The OP wants to install Tramp 2.1, which
is different.

Best regards, Michael.

I rather gathered that the OP wants a _working_ Tramp, in which case
trying to use the latest and greatest instead of a version that works
out of the box is something I wouldn't recommend.

Eli, I don't want to mess with you :-)

Tramp 2.1 is an experimental release, that's true. But the OP was
explicitely speaking about Tramp 2.1.7, and I'm happy about every
tester. This will change its experimental status faster into a
reliable one.

Best regards, Michael.

Where do you get the binary?

Re: tramp, emacs, xp, putty

http://ourcomments.org/cgi-bin/emacsw32-dl-latest.pl

The unpatched version is available as a zip file there. (Or as an 
installer, which you can also use to just install the binaries if you 
make the appropriate choices at installation.)

You need to run ./configure from Cygwin's bash. Looks like you have
started it from a Windows CMD box.

OK. But when you have executed `make install', you should use
'C:/Program Files/Emacs/site-lisp' as given in your configure call.

Not necessary.

This variable has been removed in Tramp 2.1.

Why that? "plink" is defined in `tramp-methods', and the list variable
names have been changed manwhile. So don't do this.

That is the fefault under w32 (but it doesn't hurt).
