[Nano-devel] CVS Syntax Highlighting Problems

[Richard Smith]

I grabbed the latest version from CVS and after some messing around 
getting each of the requirements via fink, got the whole thing compiled 
on OS X. I had done configure with --enable-nanorc and everything went 
ok, and I've created myself a nice little .nanorc file as follows...


set autoindent
set const
set nowrap
set smooth
set tabsize 4

syntax "perl" ".*\.pl$" ".*\.pm$"
color green "if" "while"



But then when I try and open up any file, a .pl or otherwise, I get 
this...

command syntax not understood
command color not understood

Error in /Users/richard/.nanorc on line 8: Errors found in .nanorc file
Press return to continue starting nano



So where am I going wrong?


Thanks,

Richard Smith
