Let's try to summarize:
- If I'm OK with having my Info files after the Emacs ones, I can use
`Info-additional-directory-list' which serves that purpose.
- If I'm not OK with that, I must fiddle the value of
`Info-directory-list', in the following way (which works in my case):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-eval-after-load "info"
(setq Info-directory-list
`(,(expand-file-name
(concat (file-name-directory (locate-library "org"))
"../doc/"))
"c:/cygwin/usr/share/info/"
,@Info-directory-list)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So, what's the point of still having `Info-default-directory-list'???
In all cases, I'm not sure its docstring is right anymore:
╭────
│ Default list of directories to search for Info documentation files.
│ They are searched in the order they are given in the list.
│ Therefore, the directory of Info files that come with Emacs
│ normally should come last (so that local files override standard ones),
│ unless Emacs is installed into a non-standard directory. In the latter
│ case, the directory of Info files that come with Emacs should be
│ first in this list.
╰────
Or am I in the case where "Emacs is installed into a non-standard
directory"? I have the impression that yes, it's so, if I look at the
mentioned consequences. But I don't have the impression it's installed
in a non-standard directory if I look at the Windows conventions (it's,
here, in C:\Program Files (x86)).
Best regards,
Seb
