Does everyone run Factor.exe directly from the repo root? Do you make a 'work'
directory for new vocabularies and otherwise just mod the existing ones, and
let Git tell you what has changed before you publish?
Usually we keep our work in a separate vocabulary root. The repository contains
an empty "work" directory, with its contents ignored by Git, that is set up as
a vocabulary root for this purpose. If you want to modify existing Factor
libraries or contribute new libraries upstream, you should do so in the
established basis and extra directories.
Should nearly working, nearly tested vocabularies go in unmaintained?
Can someone tell me how to change the GUI's default font?
There isn't a readily available setting for this. On Windows you can hack the
default font mappings in basis/windows/fonts.
I'm working on this now, but need to read the doc, and thought I would install
first the Emacs FUEL vocab, and get Emacs working with Factor.
My Emacs install is not able to find its init file with the needed lips
expressions to configure the link to Factor. I checked about six different
online sources of help for this topic. There is no HOME environment variable,
no _emacs or .emacs file on C:\. There is a user directory with no .emacs file
but with an .emacs-places file, with a reference to the .emacs file in my
install directory (second path), but the file is not being used (I changed the
background color as a test, in the init file, and see no color change on launch
of Emacs. Also, M-x run-factor shows "[no match]".).
Contents of .emacs-places:
;;; -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
(("c:/Program Files (x86)/Emacs/INSTALL" . 10786) ("c:/Program Files
(x86)/Emacs/.emacs" . 60)
("c:/Users/X/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/ede-projects.el" . 86))
In Emacs, typing C-x C-f ~/.emacs does not open the .emacs file and I have it
saved in the install directory, the bin directory, and the user directory with
the .emacs-places file.
Anyone know how to get the init file working on Windows 7 64-bit?
Is Emacs the most popular text styler for Factor? I prefer to have a REPL
capability?
I don't know that it's the most popular, but it's probably the most featureful,
and if you want deep REPL integration your only real choice. If you don't mind
switching between your text editor and the Factor UI, the Factor UI is capable
of tracking and opening source code using almost any popular editor using the
editor integration in the basis/editors directory.
Is anyone working on an Emacs work-alike that is integrated with Factor, so
that we don't have to do the linking-to and installing of other apps?
