for loading own lisp functions, if some in separated files, automatically

for loading own lisp functions, if some in separated files, automatically

[Erhy]

Hello,
 for training myself, I'm writing some lisp functions.

What is the usual way for automatic maintenance, 
that my .el files are loaded automatically, when
starting Emacs?

I would prefer that the lisp files are located in the site-lisp directory.

Thank you for advice
Erhy

I use  GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6001)
 of 2008-09-06 on SOFT-MJASON
on Windows Vista

For example: load-file, load-library, require…

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists  
solutions
are things that are still all mixed up.

You can save your lisp functions in the .emacs file. This file is to be
stored in C:/.emacs.
At least that worked for me on Windows XP.

If you want to store the functions in a .el file then you may do that. But
you must include some functions like  load-function in .emacs or
load-library, require.

So I see, there is a dir with .el files and a separate command file,
where each of this .el marked to be loaded.
I hoped there is a standard way, to coordinate the content of the
directory and the  associated lines in the command file automatically.

Thank you talking about

You mean something like this?
(loop for lib in (directory-files "~/my-emacs-packages/" 't "elc?$" 't) do (load-library lib))

Although that will attempt to load both the .el and .elc should both exist.

HTH,

Oops,
That should be

(loop for lib in (directory-files "~/my-emacs-packages/" 't "\.elc?$" 't)  do (load-library lib))

No (and also no to the updated version).

Add "~/my-emacs-packages" (or ~/.emacs.d etc., see documentation) to  
GNU Emacs' load-path. If your Elisp files have a provide statement  
you can require them (i.e., they get loaded when something they  
provide gets used). Otherwise load-library has to be used.

And of course I thought you would put a series of load statements  
into your init file to be able to comment or uncomment statements,  
i.e., to have control of what "gets used." Anyway, if the ELC files  
are tested and final versions, you can "load" them in a loop…
