Question about org-mode compilation

Question about org-mode compilation

[Robert Goldman]

Today I was trying to push to mobile org after an update from git, and
got an invalid function error on org-eval-in-environment.

This macro is defined in org-macs.el and is used in org-agenda.el.

I note that the makefile has org-agenda depending on org.el, but /not/
on org-macs.el.

Is that an error?

Adding that dependency, then making clean and making all fixes things.
But I may not have properly cleaned before my last build, so I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Hi Robert,

I checked and don't think the missing dependency in Makefile was cause
of the problem. When org-agenda.el is compiled it requires org.el
which in turn requires org-macs.el -- thus the macro definition is
loaded. Otherwise the compiler would stop.

An invalid function error with a macro is according to my experience
an indicator of mixing up of old and new files. Thus, the make clean
was the action that fixed the issue.

I byte compiled Org and ran a batch-agenda (which uses
org-eval-in-environment) with no error.

Best,

Thanks, I noticed that org.el dependency, but I wasn't sure how
transitive these dependencies were.

I will try to remember to always make clean!
