Problems with Emacs 22.3.1 (Mac Carbon Emacs)

[von]

I don't know if egg.el is supposed to work with Emacs 22 but the latest version of egg.el doesn't work with Emacs 22.3.1, which is the Carbon build I'm using on my Mac.

The first problem is locate-dominating-file() doesn't exist. I found a backport which at least lets egg-minor-mode run without error.

But it still doesn't work at that point as it insists my files are not under version control (which they are).

I found a newer version of Emacs for my Mac, but trying to upgrade I'm running into unrelated problems.

Still working on this.

Update: Turns out the locate-dominating-file was the serious issue.

I'm having a secondary problem with vc keybindings apparently usurping egg key bindings, so if I do C-x v s, I get vc-create-tag instead of egg-status, and trying to disable vc with git caused the "not under version control problems"

try

M-x customize-option vc-handled-backends

then remove GIT from the list
