Subject: Determine what version and make settings accordingly
Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2014 09:10:07 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <871tpg8log.fsf@dv.local.lan> (raw)

Probably kind of basic... but not to me.

I'm running emacs24 (installed from debian pkg system) and now want to
also run emacs-25... (installed from bzr repo).

I'd like to put something in ~/.emacs or even site-start.el (This is a
single user machine), that finds which version of emacs is currently
being started... and then set a few paths and etc differently than
usual, so as to load stuff from the --prefix=path of emacs-25.

Can anyone point me to some examples, that even with my elisp
illiteracy, I might be able to hack up and get to work for my
situation?
