This package provides a simple Emacs mode for editing Fink package description files.
A Makefile is included in the distribution. Just do make to compile
everything, and make install to install. You may need to edit the
path where Emacs is installed; look in the Makefile and edit the value
of the emacs variable. A reasonable default is assumed for the
installation location; if you want to change it, edit the value of the
install-dir variable in the Makefile.
Finally, modify your Emacs initialization file (usually .emacs in
your home directory) so that fink-mode is used whenever you're
working with Fink package description files. In my .emacs I have:
(push "~/share/emacs/site-lisp/fink" load-path)
(autoload 'fink-mode "fink-mode.el"
"Major mode for working with Fink package descriptions files" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
(cons "\\.info" 'fink-mode))
This work was initially cloned from Sebastian Maret's fink-mode.el.
