Subject: subdirs works for emacs but fails for me -- why?
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:54:34 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1aaaca55-b0be-4519-841c-156baf9a6705@13g2000prl.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Can someone explain the subdirs.el mechanism?
A subdirs.el in the load-path typically has the magic mantra
(if (fboundp 'normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)
(normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))
When emacs finds such a file it adds the subdirs to the load-path
If I put a similar file in my load-path it does not do any good.
Also why the fboundp stuff? And not just a simple call
(normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)
