byte-compile all files in a directory

byte-compile all files in a directory

hi. I would like to implement byte-compile elisp files.  Is there a way to
do it for all files in a directory?
I tried "M-x byte-recompile-directory" but it does nothing.  Well, only way
I can think of is dired-do-byte-compile...but it still needs to execute one
by one.

And also, sometimes byte-compile-file produces errors like,

Byte compile error for
/Users/ishidasouichi/.emacs.d/lisp/contrib/lisp/org-collector.el:

I have no idea why.  This elisp file is downloaded from the official site,
so no corrections are made.  There should not be any problem in implementing
byte-compile at all.

Thanks for your help in advance.

<C-h>f
byte-recompile-directory

will give you help with the command.  Read it and pay attention to the "If
the *.elc does not exist part"

I can compile this file fine starting from "emacs -q".

Compiling file
c:/Users/Le/cygwin_home/.emacs.d/packages/org-7.4/contrib/lisp/org-collector.el

You'll need to share more details if you want further help with this.

IIRC C-u 0 M-x byte-recompile-directory should do what you want.
