dylan-mode

dylan-mode is a major mode for editing Dylan code in emacs.

If you've installed dylan-mode through a package manager, the mode should be activated for .dylan files. Otherwise, add the following to your .emacs file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/dylan-mode")
(require 'dime)

This requires GNU Emacs 24.3 or later.

DIME/dswank

DIME/dswank is part of the release since opendylan-2011.1. It provides interactive development support in emacs. DIME is a fork of SLIME and stands for Dylan Interaction Mode for Emacs.

If you did not install dylan-mode through a package manager, add the following to your .emacs file:

(require 'dime)

To configure DIME/dswank add these lines to your .emacs file, changing YYYY.nn as appropriate for your installed release of Open Dylan:

(dime-setup '(dime-dylan dime-repl dime-compiler-notes-tree))
(setq dime-dylan-implementations
      '((opendylan ("/opt/opendylan-YYYY.nn/bin/dswank")
                   :env ("OPEN_DYLAN_USER_REGISTRIES=/opt/opendylan-YYYY.nn/sources/registry"))))

You will also want to add your own source registries to the OPEN_DYLAN_USER_REGISTRIES environment variable. Registry paths are separated by semicolons on Windows and colons elsewhere.
