I'm a beginner on windows and I'm prepared to
learn slowly and steadily, but I'm having trouble getting started. I have
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 and I'd like to get the latest version of orgmode (my version has no
org-capture). I see from http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.php#compiling-org-without-make that
this problem has been addressed, but I'm still not clear on what to do...
1. How I find out which version of orgmode I
have? I'm assuming from http://orgmode.org/ that it's 6.21b, but is
there a way of confirming this?
2. Do I need to compile at all? At least in
order to get started learning and using it?
3. Whether or not I compile, how do I
"install" the downloaded org-mode files? Should I just copy them into
\emacs-23.2\lisp\org (where my org lisp files are now) and let them overwrite
where necessary?
4. Assuming the path is ok as it is, how do
I enter the path into the function - do I write the whole path -
e.g. Q:\progs\emacs-23.2\lisp\org ?
5. What option should I choose for
org-compile-sources in the function? (I don't know what it means.)
6. Finally, how do I use
this function? Do I write it to my .emacs and then call it?
What is the command?
Sorry for all the questions. I hope I've been
clear.
