Remark: I see <https://macromates.com/download>’s note "For OS X 10.9 and later, TextMate 1.x is not suitable as it relies on system components no longer available”; yet 1.5 is still perfect for me here on Yosemite (10.10.5).

Test

[I’m not sure how this e-mail got on this thread—I think it’s the wrong thread and I can’t find the original.] Thanks for understanding my rather poorly-described problem. You figured out that the bug links that I mentioned were in the (HTML?) window that TM makes for some bundles with the links to buggy source lines. Anyway… This has been a problem for a long time but not, as far as I can remember, forever. I don’t know when I first noticed it. I checked anything that I thought could be related to symlinks and didn’t turn up anything. So… this is weird. The problem happens only when the file name begins with an upper-case letter! So for example, /Users/jb/Documents/Programs/Ada/Code/My_Projects/TextMate_Sampling/source/Hermite.adb does _not_ work (it throws up the spurious window while building) but /Users/jb/Documents/Programs/Ada/Code/My_Projects/TextMate_Sampling/source/hermite.adb _does_ work. After I exercised and exorcised all my other superstitions and tried this (changing the case of the file name), I finally noticed that the name in the title of the new, spurious, source window was the source file name but with upper case letters replaced by lower-case letters. So, for example, Test_Hermite_Cubic_Spline was displayed in the new title bar as test_hermite_cubic_spline, and, if I’ve not been clear yet, the malfunction was then present. Summary: Don’t use upper-case letters in the file name. Final note: Is this a Ruby thing? I’ll paste the build script below—some of it will look foreign to most. I’ve modified this from the original Ada bundle. I know I’m weird using TM 1.5 but TM2 doesn’t run on my machine. I’ll make another post about that. I don’t mind if this post doesn’t get noticed because I think I’ve “fixed" the problem. Jerry export PATH=$MY_GNAT_BIN:$PATH; .
