Message-ID: <87mybiamwi.fsf@mundaneum.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'd like to mix Linux and Windows settings in my .emacs file, so that I can
use GNU Emacs on both platforms with the same init file.
Currently, I've defined:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defmacro GNULinux (&rest body)
(list 'if (string-match "linux" (prin1-to-string system-type)) (cons 'progn body)))
(defmacro Windows (&rest body)
(list 'if (string-match "windows" (prin1-to-string system-type)) (cons 'progn body)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and I write (for example):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq bcc-cache-directory
(concat
(Windows "~/.emacs.d/byte-cache-ms-windows")
(GNULinux "~/.emacs.d/byte-cache-linux")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But do you know some better way to write the above (the concat function is not
that clear there...), while avoiding such a construction:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(Windows
(setq bcc-cache-directory "~/.emacs.d/byte-cache-ms-windows"))
(GNULinux
(setq bcc-cache-directory "~/.emacs.d/byte-cache-linux"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
as I hate duplicating things (error-prone when changing one and not the
other).
Best regards,
Seb
