Symbol's value as variable is void: org-version

Symbol's value as variable is void: org-version

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha all,

In the last day or so, I started running into a problem with a variable,
org-version.  

When I look at Org/Documentation/Show Version, I get:
Org-mode version N/A (N/A @ /Users/dk/.emacs.d/src/org/lisp/org-install.el)

When I export to LaTeX with -Q and the appended initialization file,
export fails with the error message in the subject line.

Here is the call:

/Applications/Emacs-23-4.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --batch -Q -l
init-old.el sigproc-sp-org-new.org -f org-export-as-latex

The org file I'm exporting doesn't refer to org-version anywhere.

I don't know how to figure out what's going on.  Can someone help?

Thanks,
Tom

The quick answer - you can try make `autoloads'

There have been recent threads about this problem.

Best, Martyn

That should have been `make autoloads'

Many thanks Martyn.  The build process is a mystery to me.  'make
autoloads' appears to have fixed the problem.

All the best,
Tom

Dear all,

I am sure I missed the discussion about this - but I do not understand why
org-version is not loaded by org.el by default.  Really, this variable belongs into org.el, and if it is not there, org.el should require org-version.el.

My 5c, of course.

The variable _is_ in org.el (currently by way of a defvaralias), but the
value is supplied by an autoload.  That seemed to be the cleanest way to
inject the version string from Git into it, especially considering that
the same code should be in Emacs and not look for a Git directory during
compilation or at runtime.  Currently, if you do not have the autoloads
generated, you don't get a version number — "make autoloads" is doing
that and I#ll have something ready for folks without make soon.  Looking
directly for a Git version number if and only if there is no autoload
definition present (using orgmode uncompiled) will be also solved, but
getting it to work correctly takes time.  I've just installed XEmacs to
be able to test it myself and unfortunately what is working in Emacs
23/24 can't be used directly in XEmacs, so I'll have to supply
compatibility functions or chose a different implementation.


Regards,
Achim.

I pushed a fixed so that exporters won't fail at missing org-version.

Achim and I are still working on this org-version issue, we will send
a summary when it's done.
