Subject: bug#43858: 28.0.50; [feature/native-comp] Missing eln cache not created
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2020 10:01:23 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPE069eGwryWeu5xeVRDU0XaYmiD6uwfOi1LA1jDQwba5Dxi5Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
After removing ~/.emacs.d/eln-cache, running "emacs -q" starts up with
the error "native-compile-async: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil".
This is caused by `comp-el-to-eln-filename' returning nil due to no
writeable eln cache directory being found.
I think we should attempt to create the cache directories if they're
missing, and have a better error if there is *really* no writeable
cache directory.
