info for org not found in emacs

info for org not found in emacs

[Rainer M Krug]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I am using org from git using the following commands (in a script):

######################
cd ~/.emacs.d/org-mode-git/org-mode
git checkout master
git fetch --tags origin
git pull
git gc
git checkout master
make clean
make
make autoloads
make doc
make info
######################

But I can't find the info file and get the error message "Info-find-file: Info file org does not
exist".

How can I tell where emacs can find the info file (I assume it is in the doc/ subdirectory?)?

Thanks,

Rainer

Try /usr/local/info, when I had that problem with org-mode that's where 
the file would end up.On Fri, 7 Dec 2012, Rainer M Krug wrote:

Well - it is in the directory .emacs.d/org-mode/doc/ but emacs does not find it.

to my .emacs file, but this doesn't change anything. Actually, I don't even have a org.info file?
make.info does return:

Check out the local.mk file in the root of the org-mode file system, it 
could be some value in that file is messed up.

There is prefix=/usr/share, but I am not installing - only compiling, and

This definitely works - thanks. But is there a way of adding this permanentely, so that I can use
the menu entry in the org menu to see the info file?

The following works for me (your mileage may vary)

  ;; info paths
  (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list
               "/home/eschulte/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/doc/")

For my set up (see below) I have tried Eric's suggestion, except 
"/home/Charlie/elisp/org-mode/doc/"

I have also tried (expand-file-name "~/elisp/org-mode/doc/") (I found 
this in the FAQ)

"C-h v Info-default-directory-list" shows that 
"/home/Charlie/elisp/org-mode/doc" loads before all other info directories.

Info at the command line and "C-h i" from Emacs still bring up the 
manual for 7.9.1 even though the 7.9.2 org.doc has been downloaded.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
After writing the above I went back to the FAQ and added the following 
to my ~/.bash_profile

INFOPATH=/home/Charlie/elisp/org-mode/doc/

It works for info from the command line. As a matter of fact the new org 
info is at the beginning of the info contents. However emacs C-h i only 
bring up the Org info, even though "C-h v Info-default-directory-list" 
shows that all info directories are loaded.

Have you done ``make doc'' after downloading?

As I recall, I have tried this, but will try again after the next

believe the problem is that the "/elisp/org-mode/doc" is not loaded into 
the general Cygwin info files and the problem is not updating the 
manual, guide, etc.

I pulled from git and the manuals were updated during the pull. As you 
suggested I also ran make doc while in elisp/org-mode and essentially 
make stated that all files were up to date.

I checked the html, pdf and emacs versions of the manual and all of them 
are 7.9.2 (release 7.9.2-664-gb1f369). By tghe way I had already 
commented out any changes to my innit.el file and bash_profile that I 
made last evening.

When I call info from the command line and also from within emacs 
version 7.9.1 shows. So does manual corrsepond with the latest org 
version that was included in the emacs package? Also, even though I use 
Eric's suggestion and add "~/elsip/org-mode/doc" to the 
Info-default-directory-list, when I call C-h i the 7.9.1 version is in 
the info tree, even though "~/elisp/org-mode/doc" is loaded.

As I described earlier my earlier attempt, i.e. added 
INFOPATH=/home/Charlie/elisp/org-mode/doc/ to my bash_profile loaded the 
latest org manual into the general info tree but so was org manual 
version 7.9.1; however, when I was in emacs (the bash_profile was still 
modified) and called info, only the latest org manual was shown; none of 
the rest of the info tree was shown and I could not access it.

For users as myself, i.e. one laptop, one user, no network, should 
INFOPATH be further modified in bash_profile so that the outdated 
version of Org doc is removed from the info tree and the current one 
replaces it and at the same time the entire info tree is accessed from 
emacs?

Set up:
Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Cygwin 1.7.17-1
GNU Emacs 24.2.1(i686-pc-cygwin, GTK+ Version 2.24.11) of 2012-08-27 on

The doc for Info-default-directory-list says:

,----
| Once Info is started, the list of directories to search
| comes from the variable `Info-directory-list'.
| This variable `Info-default-directory-list' is used as the default
| for initializing `Info-directory-list' when Info is started, unless
| the environment variable INFOPATH is set.
`----

IIUC, this implies that INFOPATH has to encompass *all* the places where
info files should be searched for. In my case, I have the following in
my .profile:

- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# standard places
INFOPATH=/usr/local/info:/usr/local/share/info:/usr/info:/usr/share/info
...
# org info dir
INFOPATH=/home/nick/src/emacs/org/org-mode/doc:$INFOPATH
export INFOPATH
- --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How about customizing `Info-additional-directory-list' without touching
INFOPATH as suggested below?

,----
| Info-default-directory-list is a variable defined in `info.el'.
| Its value is ("/usr/local/share/info/" "/usr/share/info/")
| 
| Documentation: 
| Default list of directories to search for Info

That is working - thanks. It is the better way then modifying the INFOPATH userwide.

Strange that changing the Info-default-directory-list did not work.

You should not change this variable at all, the variable to customize is
`Info-additional-directory-list´.  But it is by far easier to simply
install Org.

As I said before, check that doc/dir is not missing or modified.

Sorry - must have missed that one. doc/die is fine - I got it from git again, and it is the same.

Then you must have changed something else in your setup.

>>>>

comes from the variable `Info-directory-list'.
This variable `Info-default-directory-list' is used as the default
for initializing `Info-directory-list' when Info is started, unless
the environment variable INFOPATH is set.

Although this is a customizable variable, that is mainly for technical
reasons.  Normally, you should either set INFOPATH or customize
`Info-additional-directory-list', rather than changing this variable.
<<<<

Check the content of those variables and maybe if INFOPATH is set to something
strange.

Achim.
