Flymake from CVS doesn't require

Flymake from CVS doesn't require

[Paulo J. Matos]

Hi all,

I've retrived flymake from CVS :
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/emacs/emacs/lisp/progmodes/flymake.el?rev=1.2.4.21

But when I compile it and try to load it I get:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable
compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist)
  (flymake-reformat-err-line-patterns-from-compile-el
compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist)
  (append (quote (... ... ... ... ... ...))
(flymake-reformat-err-line-patterns-from-compile-el
compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist))
  (defvar flymake-err-line-patterns (append (quote ...)
(flymake-reformat-err-line-patterns-from-compile-el
compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist)) "Patterns for matching

I'm using emacs 21.4.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Yes: you cannot just rip off a single Lisp file from CVS and hope for
it to work.  The variable compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist did not
exist in Emacs 21.4.

So, flymake is only usable with CVS Emacs?
Or is there a version for 21.4?

The version from CVS, yes.

I don't know, sorry.

Thanks, do you have any idea on how it works? When I open a C++ file,
I do M-x flymake-mode but nothing seems to happen. Do I need to do any
kind of configuration or anything?
The page doesn't seem to provide much help.

Regards,

Paulo Matos

Yes. For C++ you need a makefile with a check-syntax target. flymake
calls the check-syntax target with CHK_SOURCES set to a filename. This is
needed because flymake does not know about your includes files etc. For
same languages (eg. Perl) flymake can work without the Makefile.

Take a look at the example in flymake/samples/make-based/cpp/Makefile
(from flymake-0.2a.zip)


Also, here are two lines from one of my own makefiles

check-syntax:
	g++ -O -Wall -g $(INC) $(CHK_SOURCES)

I also got emacs-cvs to work. I guess it works the same, right?

Thanks,

Now I remember, I'm using autotools, which means automake, & friends.
What to do in this case?
