Emacs load-path and Mac OS X

Emacs load-path and Mac OS X

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

Probably in winter (as usual one season after the planned autumn date) 
a new TeXLive DVD will come. In the Mac OS X department it might well 
have a Carbon or more aquaish GNU Emacs version (and an XEmacs too?) as 
text editor (with AUCTeX and preview-latex). Recently the application 
support structure for typical Mac OS X tools is not supported in GNU 
Emacs. Couldn't you make /Library/Application Support/Emacs and 
${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Emacs, both with a <space> in the 
directory name, natural ingredients of src/epaths.h in the 
PATH_LOADSEARCH macro or a similiar place?

(ATSUI support then could be fine too!)

If people are interested in this, you can take the code from Aquamacs  
that does this stuff. (not in epaths.h though!)
It loads the files in a useful order and also adds all subdirectories.
We now also load every site-start.el file in the path, thereby  
supporting automatically installed plugins.
Ask me for code if interested.

Good point - I was wondering about the status of that recently.
