flymake mode in javascript

[mattharrison]

Flymake for js doesn't work out of the box. There's some hardcoded Windows paths in there.

I have a script that runs jslint, so I hooked that up. The regexes need to be updated for jslint as well....

What would be the process for resolving this? I'm assuming we just need to package/include os neutral jslint.

Let me know what I can do to help.

cheers

Not sure if it helps, but there's this package of mine: http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/flymake-jslint

I'm on el-get now, but I'll check out your package. Thanks.

I used to use el-get too... now enjoying having everything in elpa, even though it meant I had to package up a bunch of stuff. :-)
