Update org-mode

Update org-mode

[Dror Atariah]

I tried to follow the update process described here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html under:
How do I keep current with bleeding edge development?

The only change I made was the place where I checked out the new version. Instead of ~/elisp I have ~/Library/elisp.

Everything went smooth, except that I had to add "sudo" before the "make install". Without the sudo, I got an "access denied" error. Anyway, at the end, I got no warnings and it seems like the process was smooth. But when I checked the version of org-mode in aquamacs it was still 6.33x

I am using Emacs 23.3.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, NS apple-appkit-949.54)
 of 2011-03-19 on braeburn.aquamacs.org - Aquamacs Distribution 2.2 on a mac OS 10.6.7.

What should I do in order to fix it?

Thanks in advance,
Dror

If you had to use sudo it sounds as though your Makefile might be wrong. 
You should have something like:

# Where local software is found
prefix=~/Library/elisp

Search for ELPA in FAQ. Maybe that will work well for you ...

Hi Dror,

I track the latest git code at least weekly.  I skip the compile and
make install steps completely and run the code uncompiled from the git
repository directly.

I just update the code and M-x org-reload (or restart Emacs) and I'm
done.

I put the directory that org-mode is loaded from early in my load path
so that the git version is loaded instead of whatever out-of-date
version the system has.

Unless you need to provide the updated org-mode to other users there's
no need to install it system wide - it's just another step that can trip
you up.

Regards,
Bernt

may be problem with the path setting, 

#+begin_src elisp
(setq load-path (cons
                 (expand-file-name "~/Library/elisp")
                 load-path))
(require 'org-install)
#+end_src

may solve the problem.

Yes - I do that but not for every update - normally just when new
releases come out.

In your .emacs (or equivalent emacs initialization file.)

If your emacs is set up correctly, you should be able to visit the
relevant section in the Emacs manual by evaluating the following form:

   (info "(emacs)Init file")

Put the cursor after the closing parenthesis and type C-x C-e

Re: Update org-mode

[Christian Moe]

In the Makefile, what settings do you have under these headings?

# Name of your emacs binary
# Where local software is found
# Where local lisp files go.
# Where info files go.

I'm one of the oddballs who compile and install every new Org version, 
because in the start I thought that was the "right" way, and it's 
become a habit.

The Makefile needs to point to the right paths for your Aquamacs 
application and its site-lisp and info subdirectories. I don't use 
Aquamacs, but mutatis mutandis it's probably similar to that for GNU 
Emacs on the Mac, namely:

  # Name of your emacs binary
  EMACS=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/emacs

  # Where local software is found
  prefix=/Applications

  # Where local lisp files go.
  lispdir = $(prefix)/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp

  # Where info files go.
  infodir = $(prefix)/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info

I quickly found that git pulls would overwrite my hand-edited 
Makefile, and a hand-edited Makefile caused conflicts on the next 
pull, and I didn't understand git at all.

So I did a shell script that pulls org-mode, copies the Makefile, 
applies a patch with the above changes to the Makefile, compiles and 
installs, and then switches back the Makefile copy. Works for me.

Yours,
Christian

You could set up your own local branch to track origin/master and
preferrably using rebase instead of merge.  That will result in the
following configuration (in .git/config):

[branch "local"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master
        rebase = true

From then on, you can just do "git pull" and your changes to the
Makefile will dutifully re-enacted by git.

In 

   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/17102/focus=17115

Bernt pointed out the existence of an FAQ that explains in detail
the procedure for setting up a local branch that will rebase your
local modifications on top of whatever you pull:

   http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#keeping-local-changes-current-with-Org-mode-development

Achim's reply in this thread also explains this, but the extra detail
in the FAQ might be helpful.

Nick

Re: Update org-mode

[Christian Moe]

Nick, Achim,

Thanks for this. Other git newbies should obviously ignore my clumsy 
solution and follow those instructions instead.

I guess I missed them because I just stopped looking when I had an 
approach that worked. Embarrassed now.

Dror may still want to check those targets in his Makefile against the 
contents of his Aquamacs.app package.

Yours,
Christian

Re: Update org-mode

[Dror Atariah]

@Christian: Here's my updated Makefile (at least the first part):

# Name of your emacs binary
EMACS=/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs

# Where local software is found
#prefix=/usr/local
prefix=~/Applications

# Where local lisp files go.
lispdir   = $(prefix)/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp

# Where info files go.
infodir = $(prefix)/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/info

Running the "make install" finally (after make && make doc) yielded a rather long process with lots of output. However, when I reopened Aquamacs and and .org file, the version checked still showed 6.33x

Anything I should do otherwise?

Thnx!

No change in the way Aquamacs+org-mode behaves. In particular version still shows 6.33x... :(

Re: Update org-mode

Dror

Did you try installing with Package Manager/ELPA? It will be far much
simpler that way, I think ...

It is primarily designed to help new users of Emacs. You don't need to
learn git, tweak Makefiles, load-paths or battle with installing Info
manuals.

I would recommend ELPA anyday for users who are new to Emacs.

Re: Update org-mode

[Dror Atariah]

It seems like I have to install the package manager.

I followed the instructions in the org-mode FAQ. Added:

(setq load-path (cons "~/Library/elisp" load-path))
(require 'package)
(package-initialize)

To my .emacs, where packages.el located in ~/Library/elisp.

Then, when I restart Aquamacs I get the following error:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/drorata/.emacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: package-subdirectory-regexp

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

What should I do?


Thanks for your time!!

That made the trick! I'll try to follow and solve also the package-manager path.

I'm going out on a limb here, but you probably should better have:

lispdir   = $(prefix)/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/org-mode

Add this line at the end of the init file. This ensures that the
load-path would point to the elpa version of org.

http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/blob_plain/1a0a666f941c99882093d7bd08ced15033bc3f0c:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el

I just verified that above version of package.el works fine with my
emacs-23.

If you report successful installation with the above steps I will update
the FAQ so that folks are able to use ELPA to install org on emacs-23
versions.

Steps are simple:

1. M-x list-packages
2. locate org line that reads something like "org 20110403 available ...") 
3. Press 'i' to install to mark org for installation
4. Press 'x' to actually install the package

5. Reboot emacs (Recommended)

6. Do M-x locate-library RET org 
   and see that you see the following line

   Library is file ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20110403/org.elc

Re: Update org-mode

[Dror Atariah]

Let me summarize the steps I carried out eventually, to use the package manager. Note, I am using emacs 23 based editor which was shipped with org-mode 6.33.

* Updating
Follow the steps:
** Intsall the package manager
*** Download the =packages.el= file from
http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/blob_plain/1a0a666f941c99882093d7bd08ced15033bc3f0c:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el.

Save in in =~/Library/elisp= for example.
*** Add the following code to the =.emacs=:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp

(setq load-path (cons "~/Library/elisp" load-path))
(require 'package)
(package-initialize)

#+END_SRC

*** Verify
To verify this part, in /emacs/ hit =M-x list-packages RET org=. Here
you should see a list of optional packages. /Note:/ you may ignore the
warning: =failed to download org-mode archive=.
** Updating org-mode
*** Enter the =list-packages=
Hit =M-x list-packages RET=.

In there mark for installation by =i= the org package and the =x= for
the actual installation.
*** Restart emacs
*** Verify
Hit =M-x locate-library RET org= to verify the installation. You should now
have org-mode up and running.

Thank you all!

Glad you got it working. Thanks for posting the follow up to the list, 
which will probably help someone in future.
