This package contains the 'gold' Lisp files for GNU Emacs. See GOLD-KEYs.ps/pdf for a quick reference of your keyboard/system. The gold-package comes under the GPL copyright with absolute no warranty and no support (well you may post questions to ast@intes.de, but whether you will get an answer or not depends on my current work load). You need GNU Emacs 23.0 or higher ! Installation: (unix, linux, solaris etc.) ============= As you read this you have probably unpacked emacs_gold.tar.gz already (if not, please do so). Inside the gold subdirectory simply call prompt> ./INSTALL If you are logged in as root this will do a global installation for all users on your system. If you are a non-root user then INSTALL will make a personal installation under your home directory only. After installation you may take a look at the template files my.emacs_gold and my.Xdefaults. You may like to copy/evaluate those for the user's personal configuration to ~/.emacs_gold or ~/.Xdefaults respectively. Now emacs should start with the gold-package loaded automatically. You may now remove the tar file in order to save disk space. If ./INSTALL doesn't succeed then try the following: For a global installation (root-installation for all users): ------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Look for a directory named /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ If it doesn't exist yet create it with prompt> mkdir -p /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ prompt> chmod a+rx /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ 2) Move the emacs_gold.tar.gz file to that directory and unpack it using prompt> gunzip emacs_gold.tar.gz ; tar xvf emacs_gold.tar This should leave you with a new subdirectory named `gold'. Ensure that this directory and all of its contents is world-readable prompt> chmod a+x gold; chmod -R a+r gold 3) Copy the default.el file from the gold directory one directory higher prompt> cp gold/default.el . 4) Remove all ~/.emacs files (if any) for all users which want to use the new standard gold/default loadpath. For a personal installation (1 user only): ------------------------------------------ 1) Move the emacs_gold.tar.gz file to your home directory (or some other directory of your choice) and unpack it using prompt> gunzip emacs_gold.tar.gz ; tar xvf emacs_gold.tar This should leave you with a new subdirectory named `gold'. 2) Copy the my.emacs file to your home directory (renamed to .emacs): prompt> cp gold/my.emacs ~/.emacs 3) Edit ~/.emacs and adapt (setq gold-load-path "/develop/ast/emacs/gold") to the path you unpacked the tar-file to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Markus Ast (ast@intes.de, Phone +49-711-78499-12, Fax +49-711-78499-10) Hotline (hotline@intes.de, Phone +49-711-78499-93, Fax +49-711-78499-10) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTES GmbH, Schulze-Delitzsch-Str. 16, D-70565 Stuttgart Geschäftsführer/Managing Director: Dr.-Ing.
