Prerequisites

  • WIPEOUT correctly installed at your site.

  • GNU Emacs or XEmacs correctly installed at your site.

  • The file wipeout-mode.el as a part of the "WIPEOUT External Editor Package''.

Setting up XEmacs as your preferred Editor

  1. Start the WIPEOUT IDE in server mode. Specify the server name at the command line for this:

    /usr/local/wipeout> ./wipeout -svrname WipeOutEmacs &

    and close the internal editor e3 if one is opened.

  2. Use Properties->External Editor... in the Project Browser and Load... the file $(WIPEOUTHOME)/external-editor/xemacs.ext into this dialog.

  3. Choose Close and WIPEOUT will now use XEmacs for all editing requests.

Loading the WIPEOUT Mode into XEmacs

  • Add the following lines to your $(HOME)/.emacs file:

    (setq gnuserv-frame (selected-frame))

    (gnuserv-start)

    (load "$WIPEOUTHOME/external-editor/wipeout-mode'')

  • Start the editor from the Project Browser toolbar.

Connecting to the WIPEOUT Server

  • To connect XEmacs to the running WIPEOUT server type:

    M-x wipeout-server

    and type the name of the server you want to connect to:

    WipeOut Server To Connect: WipeOutEmacs

    Note: This is the value of the -svrname option with that you've started WIPEOUT.

Using the WIPEOUT menu

By activating the WIPEOUT mode in XEmacs the WIPEOUT menu is automatically added to the editors menu bar.

    M-x wipeout-mode
