Subject: Why "EMACS=24.4.91.2 (term:0.96)" in term-exec-1?
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:15:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874mp2oq8b.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I've been putting up with this misfeature for quite some time.
Basically, I can't just type `make test' into ansi-term for ERT testing.
I have to either re-export the EMACS variable (by hand, since I can't
just nail it down in the Makefile), or call `make test' from outside
Emacs.
Turns out, the reason is in `term-exec-1', accompanied by this comment:
;; We are going to get rid of the binding for EMACS,
;; probably in Emacs 23, because it breaks
;; `./configure' of some packages that expect it to
;; say where to find EMACS.
(format "EMACS=%s (term:%s)" emacs-version term-protocol-version)
So I have two questions: what was the reason for setting this variable,
and can we remove it?
regards,
Oleh
