Installing planner mode for Emacs on Windows?

Installing planner mode for Emacs on Windows?

[Endless Story]

Another thing I'd like to do in Emacs for Windows. On Linux I've never
had a problem with adding packages, but despite much Googling I haven't
been able to find any instructions for doing the same on Windows.

The README that comes with planner mode is written for Linux/Unix. I
tried using Cygwin but made a mess of things. What I would prefer is a
straightforward Windows-centric approach - if such a thing exists.

Hi,

in the elisp source file planner.el you may find a comment like

  ;; Place planner.el in your load path and add this to your .emacs:
  ;;
  ;;    (require 'planner)

The emacs variable load-path (C-h v load-path RET) usually contains a
subdirectory site-lisp, where you should place all the elisp source
files (*.el). Bytecompile them.

Cheers

Martin

I managed to get this done and am up and running with Planner 3.40 on
Windows.

Here's what happened: After lots of Googling, including a search of the
archives of the planner.el-discuss mailing list, I realized that one of
the dependencies for the latest versions of Planner is an equally
recent version of Muse. I first tried an older version of Muse without
realizing it, but it lacked some newer code that allows other apps to
build on Muse functionality, including Planner. Once I realized my
mistake and aligned the versions, I was able to use Cygwin to make &&
make install both Planner and Muse inside the correct site-lisp
directory for my non-Cygwin install of Emacs.
