find-library-name, used by org-reload, missing on XEmacs

[Tony E. Bennett]

Hi

org-reload needs 'find-library-name', which is missing on XEmacs v21.5
at least.   However there is 'find-library' which can be coerced into
providing the filename:

  ;; hack - XEmacs does not have find-library-name, needed by org-reload.
  (when (not (fboundp 'find-library-name))
    (require 'find-func)
    ;; still not found?   then create it if find-library exists, as it does on xemacs
    (when (and (not (fboundp 'find-library-name))
               (fboundp 'find-library))
      (defun find-library-name-helper (filename ignored-codesys)
        filename)
      (defun find-library-name (library)
        (find-library library nil 'find-library-name-helper))
      ))


thanks

Hi Tony,

thanks for this, org-reload now works on XEmacs.

unfound defuns and catch forms on XEmacs 21.5 (was: [Orgmode] find-library-name, used by org-reload, missing on XEmacs)

For some reason I just encountered this with Org-mode version 7.8.11 on
XEmacs 21.5  (beta31) "ginger" [Lucid] (x86_64-pc-linux, Mule).

Built by running make leaving everything stock but for EMACS=xemacs;
the build crashed complaining about a missing 'find-library-name'.

I was able to get it to build by pasting this function at the very top
of lisp/org.el and restarting a clean build.

Perhaps there's a declaration ordering problem, or something akin to a
missing eval-when?  (I'm much more familiar with Common Lisp than
(X)Emacs Lisp, sorry.)  I also have a weird problem where trying to
generate an agenda breaks thusly:

Lisp error: (no-catch :skip t)
  org-agenda-get-timestamps()

Yet if I simply re-evaluate the org-agenda-get-timestamps defun,
everything works for the remainder of the session.  Evaluating
(byte-compile 'org-agenda-get-timestamps) makes everything break again.

Otherwise everything seems to work great.

That has been fixed in master, additionally you'd need the folloing
definitions in local.mk:

BATCH = $(EMACS) -batch -q -vanilla # XEmacs

# How to byte-compile the whole source directory
ELCDIR	= $(BATCH) \
		--eval '(add-to-list '"'"'load-path ".")' \
		--eval '(byte-recompile-directory "." 0)'

I don't know if byte-compilation is worth the hassle with XEmacs, but it
seems to work for current master, even with a lot of warnings.
