I'm using source-highlight version 3.1.8 on OS X 10.11.3.
(I installed it using homebrew).
I am working on a couple of language definitions and I am running into a
couple of problems. I'll detail one here and the other one in a separate
email.
From my reading of the documentation and the thread on this list from
Aug 2014
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-source-highlight/2014-08/msg00000.html)....
My understanding is that if I add the --data-dir command line option,
then I should just be able to add my new language files to the data-dir
and an updated lang.map to the data-dir and it should work.
That is, I'm using the command line:
source-highlight --data-dir=/my/sourcehl -f esc256 -o STDOUT sample.4th
I have fourth.lang in /my/sourcehl and I put a copy of lang.map in this
directory as well (adding the line 4th = forth.lang).
However, when I do this it complains that it can't find outlang.map.
So I copied that to my data directory. Then it complains that it can't
find esc256.outlang.
I haven't had a chance to look through the source yet, but it seems that
if you use --data-dir then it replaces the default directory, rather
than supplements it.
Or am I doing something wrong?
