Aquamacs Emacs config for Ruby on Rails and Clojure development. Derived from spicycode's.

EMACS CONFIGURATION

A beginners guide to yelling about emacs configuration. Derived from https://github.com/spicycode/the-greatest-and-best-emacs-configuration-ever-devised-by-man

Now with swank magic for Clojure happiness.

YOU'LL WANT TO SYMLINK THIS DIRECTORY TO ~/.emacs.d

YOUR CRAPPY CONFIG MAKES AQUAMACS ASPLODE!!!

Sorry, I have run into this too and I feel your pain. On the first startup this config will try and pull down, install, and compile a LARGE VOLUME of emacs lisp files. This can end up causing aquamacs to crash.

Worse still, after you restart from a crash, you'll get a lovely error message telling you everything is awful and that some package (often I've found the culprit is haml-mode) is already marked as installed, remove it first. To fix:

M-x el-get-remove haml-mode

M-x el-get-install haml-mode

Other likely culprits are inf-ruby and rvm. If you install them yourself with el-get-install they probably won't blow up. Probably.

ALSO, YOU'LL WANT TO CREATE A ~/.emacs FILE THAT HAS THE FOLLOWING IN IT

(toggle-debug-on-error t)

(setq long-path "/Users/YOUR USERNAME HERE/.emacs.d/")
(add-to-list 'load-path long-path)
(load "local")

(rvm-autodetect-ruby)

(eval-after-load "slime" 
  '(progn (slime-setup '(slime-repl))))

(slime-setup)

(set-variable 'inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/java -cp /Users/alex/clojure-core/clojure/clojure.jar clojure.main")
(set-variable 'inferior-lisp-buffer "*inferior-lisp*")
(menu-bar-mode t)
(server-start)
