Summary and Info

Axiom is a package of developer tools that can help your productivity when editing M[UMPS]/GT.M routines with the Vim editor, preferrably version 6.0 or newer.

A colleague of mine, John Willis, has created a similar package of tools for use with the Emacs editor. It is called Lorikeem and you can download it from: http://www.coherent-logic.com/products.html#lorikeem.

Special thanks to Sam Habiel for encouraging me in my work on Axiom.

ATTENTION: This package was written and tested on Red Hat and Ubuntu Linux. I can make no guarantees about other Operating Systems or Linux distributions. I doubt that it will work, out of the box, on either a Windows or Mac system. I have neither, so I can't even test them.

NOTE: In order to use the global dump functionality you must install GT.M and set the environment variables that GT.M requires.

NOTE: In order to use the mtags functionality, you must build a tags file. In order to build the tags file with the included mktags shell script, you will need to install the exuberant-ctags program. In Debian/Ubuntu you would install it via:

$ sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags

In Red Hat/CentOS you would install it via:

$ sudo yum install ctags

You also have to use a version of ctags with regular expression support compiled in, in order to build the tags file for MUMPS. To confirm that your version is the correct one:

$ ctags --version

Look for this line:

Optional compiled features: +wildcards, +regex

Installation

Any reference to Axiom in the commands below, may also have a version number in it, either a version tag or a version hash.

To install this, you untar the tarball..

$ tar -xfz axiom.tgz

Or unzip the zip file..

$ unzip axiom.zip

Or, you can clone the repository with this command..

$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/dlw/axiom

Then you move to the resulting axiom/ directory..

$ cd axiom/

Then you run the install script to install the Axiom utility scripts, in the appropriate places, as well as create a .vimrc run command file, or append or overwrite your current one. This is to ensure that the package works correctly. It will also install a M[UMPS]/GT.m routine, which is necessary to use the global dump functionality, as well as all the documentation..

$ ./install

To install in quiet mode, add the -q flag. This will allow you to install Axiom non-interactively..

$ ./install -q

NOTE: Using install in quiet mode will overwrite existing files that are used by Axiom. Make sure that you have the $gtmroutines environment variable defined, so that install -q will know where to put KBAWDUMP.m.

If you want to install Axiom manually, make sure you copy the following files and directories to the right places at a minimum. refers to a directory in your $gtmroutines environment variable..

$ cp axiom/KBAWDUMP.m <MUMPS-source-directory>/
$ cp axiom/mktags ~/bin/
$ cp axiom/vimrc ~/.vimrc
$ cp -r axiom/vim ~/.vim/

If you are installing manually, you will also need to install the mktags and KBAWDUMP man pages. For information on how to do that on your system, consult the man page:

$ man man

If you are installing manually, you will also need to install the axiom.txt Vim help documentation. In a Vim editing session, type:

:helptags ~/.vim/doc/

That is pretty much all there is to it. If you have questions on how to use the mktags shell script, consult the man page..

$ man mktags

If you have any questions on how to use the KBAWDUMP.m routine, consult the man page..

$ man KBAWDUMP

If you have questions on how to use any of the features of the Axiom package, consult the Vim help page, built-in to the package, and accessible inside of any Vim editing session..

:help axiom

I hope you enjoy the Axiom package. If you have any questions, feature requests, or bugs to report, please contact David Wicksell dlw@linux.com
