cl-find is also a problem.

You seem to be using Emacs 23 actually. Can you try with a more recent version?

Yes, that's the problem. The current version is 24.4.

I'm personally incredibly annoyed that they changed fundamental API's in minor versions of Emacs. I know their justification but I still don't agree with them.

Maintaining backwards compatibility with older versions is a pain, and it's easy to introduce incompatibilities. If you're willing to maintain the necessary compatibility changes, I'd be happy to include them.

jeromebaum commented 10 years ago

Seriously? That's a huge change, in a 0.2 version difference?

I don't know if I can upgrade to 24.4 easily. I'll see about it later and otherwise start sending across various patches. ;)

For me the highest priority is to get an installation of APL running at all, as I am completely new to the language. Unfortunately, support on Mac OS X is lacking.

I use GNU APL (with this Emacs mode, of course :-) ) on OSX and it works very well. I use Emacs compiled from HEAD using Brew.

Emacs on OSX is a bit broken, so if you want to change the fonts, you should do the following in your mode hook:

(when (eq system-type 'darwin) (gnu-apl-update-fontset-character 'gnu-apl-default))

Oh, and as I mentioned before, patches to make it work in older versions are greatly appreciated. :-)

I'm closing this as "might fix, but not a priority.

lokedhs commented 10 years ago

Workaround implemented. I hope this will work.
