How to set up geben for Emacs on Windows?

Question

I have problems setting up geben-on-emacs on Windows. I have:

• GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1
• geben 0.22
• xampp 1.7.0
• Xdebug 2.0.4

Native Debugclient is working fine: debug session gets established and I can issue various debug commands.

This is what happens when I try to debug with geben:

• Issue M-x geben. Get Waiting for debug server to connect at port 9000 response.
• Open http://localhost/test.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=mydebug in browser.

At this stage PHP script gets loaded but the minor mode doesn't get set geben-mode. So SPC, i, o, r, g etc don't work. If I try to issue commands manually (e.g. M-x geben-run) nothing happens. I can switch to *GEBEN<127.0.0.1:900: buffer and enter DBGp commands manually though.

Messages buffer has this line, not sure if it is relevant:

Unable to load color "brightblue"

What do I do wrong?

Answer 1

My Emacs (GNU Emacs 22.3.1) doesn't have brightblue as a colour either. Try searching the lisp for brightblue and just change it to blue.

Answer 2

Version 0.23 fixes it.
