matlab script editing

Question

I would like to edit matlab scripts in two cases

(1) In matlab Command window running in a linux terminal, how to create and edit a script file? use

Answer 1

The reason that matlab-publish.el does not compile is because in fact it is not downloaded (thus missing) by the MATLAB script dl_emacs_support.m. I also find that the download script also did not download company-matlab-shell.el, which exists in the tarball from CVS. Consequently, when make is called, error occurs when the required files are not found.

Even worse, the dl_emacs_support.m script is replaced with the file from CVS when the source files are downloaded by executing the script in MATLAB. Patches or modifications to dl_emacs_support.m is thus lost after the files are downloaded.

To be safe, I recommend to download matlab-emacs from the tarball on the CVS server, or checkout the source. The compilation should go well then.

Remark about CEDET: I checked out CEDET source code and compile it with no sweat. If you are using Ubuntu, I believe the following packages in the repository should be installed before compiling matlab-emacs: cedet-common, ede, eieio, semantic, speedbar. These packages are installed to /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp, so the LOADPATH should be "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet-common /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ede /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/eieio /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/bovine".
