Found your blog post after Googling getting started with Emacs. Was in 2 minds if I should dive in and learn Emacs, but your post was another friendly point in the right direction. Did a write up on my first week: http://www.robsearles.com/2009/10/25/a-week-with-emacs-one-week-later/

Oops I spoke a bit too soon about installing ECB and its dependencies with Macports. While installation is indeed one line using the older Macports version 1.6, it is a bit more complex using the current version 1.7 of Macports. It seems that speedbar, semantic and eieio are now available in a single package, CEDET. But the port of ECB still looks for the old dependencies; so it fails to install.

So I wound up doing the following installation routine:

sudo port install cedet-devel
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ecb/ecb-2.32.tar.gz
open ecb-2.32.tar.gz
sudo mv ecb-2.32 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/

and then in my .emacs:

(load-file “/opt/local/var/macports/software/cedet-devel/1.0pre4_0/opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/common/cedet.el”)
(add-to-list ‘load-path “/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ecb-2.32″)
(require ‘ecb)
(require ‘ecb-autoloads

I hope this information will be useful to other users of Aquamacs and Macports. See also http://gist.github.com/69098

Thanks again for all the tips in this tutorial! ECB seems like a great tool so far.

For those using Macports, installation is one line:

> sudo port install speedbar eieio semantic ecb

Great tutorial, thanks! I’ve been using Emacs for a while but never knew about ECB.
