Roughtly.  but batch-byte-recompile-directory does not create the elc if it doesn't already exist unless you wrap it.  So I wrote:

(defun batch-byte-recompile-directory-all ()
  (batch-byte-recompile-directory 0))

Again... roughly but you have to wrap it so that the autoloads go to a local file:

(defun batch-update-my-autoloads (&optional file)
  (defvar command-line-args-left)	;Avoid 'free variable' warning
  (let ((generated-autoload-file "~/.emacs.d/pedz/myloaddefs.el")
	(temp command-line-args-left))
    (while temp
      (update-file-autoloads (car temp))
      (setq temp (cdr temp)))
    (save-some-buffers t)))

Oh... And update-directory-autoloads doesn't walk down the tree...

Its not a lot of work but it just seemed like I can't be the only person doing this.

I coupled it with a script:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Script to run after doing a git pull
#
# Emacs is taken as /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs if it
# exists (a Mac platform), otherwise, we just use emacs.
if [[ -x /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs ]] ; then
    EMACS=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
else
    EMACS=emacs
fi

# First, make all the .elc files:

${EMACS} -batch -l batch-commands.el -f batch-byte-recompile-directory-all

# Now, update the myloaddefs.el file:

find . -type f -name '*.el' -print | \
    egrep -v '/\.git' | \
    xargs egrep -l '# *autoload' | \
    xargs ${EMACS} \
        -batch \
        -l batch-commands.el \
        -f batch-update-my-autoloads

# We don't want myloaddefs.el compiled because it confuses me.

rm -f pedz/myloadsdefs.elc

Oh god, I was searching for that all day long yesterday. I can't
believe there's nothing in emacs since all those years to byte-
compile a whole directory for the first time -- yeah +1 batch-byte-
recompile-directory is for *recompile*.

Thank you very much for this.

My git repository for my .emacs.d directory is here: https://github.com/pedz/emacs-lisp

It is very disorganized but folks are welcome to poke around it and take what is useful to them.

Hi Thien-Thi

How do you use this?

   How do you use this?

You can grab the latest release tarball from:
http://www.gnuvola.org/software/personal-elisp/

See file Makefile.in, specifically targets ‘autoload-file’ and ‘dist’.
(In the not yet released source, ‘all’ also depends on ‘autoload-file’,
which is part of the reason it's not yet released -- i've been using it
quite comfortably in situ.)

IIRC you can use

    --eval "(batch-byte-recompile-directory 0)"

so you don't have to define a new function.

Right, and there as well you can use

  --eval "(setq generated-autoload-file \"`pwd`/myloaddefs.el\")"

Good point.

Ahh... I saw that on another post on this thread but I never
thought about it.  I figured there must be a way to do it, otherwise,
why would it take an argument?

Thanks... now I have another tool in my bag.

autoload

[Perry Smith]

I have a .emacs.d directory with various elisp files I've either written myself over the years or pulled down from the net.

I just spent the past few hours constructing various scripts to automatically byte compile the new files and also create a myautoloads.el file that I load at startup.  It just seems to me that I must be recreating the wheel.

What do others do?

Thanks,
Perry

I store all my *.el files under DVCS (Mercurial) and install it from 
Makefile.

 From '.emacs':

(defvar my-lisp-dir
   (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/my-lisp")
   "Here live my lisp packages.")
(add-to-list 'load-path my-lisp-dir t)

(defvar my-autoload (concat my-lisp-dir "/autoload-my.el")
   "Path to autoload for mode files.")

(if (file-exists-p my-autoload)
     (load my-autoload))

 From 'Makefile':

FILES_MODE_EL := $(wildcard *-mode.el)

.PHONY: install
install: .emacs $(FILES_MODE_EL)
	cp .emacs $(HOME)/.emacs
	rm -f -r $(HOME)/.emacs.d/my-lisp
	mkdir -p $(HOME)/.emacs.d/my-lisp
	for file in $(FILES_MODE_EL); do \
		cp -f $$file $(HOME)/.emacs.d/my-lisp; \
	done
	$(EMACS) --batch \
		--eval='(let ( (generated-autoload-file 
"~/.emacs.d/my-lisp/autoload-my.el") ) (update-directory-autoloads 
"~/.emacs.d/my-lisp") )'

Look at last Makefile command - it generate autoload file automatically.
Compilation I don't use as my *-mode.el files are very short.
