add directories to load-path

add directories to load-path

[henry atting]

How can I add directories to the load-path *including* all
subdirectories?

At present I do it this way

(setq load-path (append '( "/some/directory" "/some/directory/subdirectory") load-path))

which is not very handy when a directory contains several different
subdirectories with elisp files.

Taken from http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com or from djcb's dot emacs (thanks by the way), I have the following in my init.el

; Load all recursively all folders
(defconst elisp-path '("~/.emacs.d"))
(mapcar '(lambda(p)
           (add-to-list 'load-path p)
           (cd p) (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)) elisp-path)

possibly by creating subdirs.el there, with this contents:

(if (fboundp 'normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)
     (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))

however, i couldn't find any reference to subdirs.el trick in the 
documentation

I can't give a self contained solution, but I think directory-files-
and-attributes might be a good starting point.

[Gnutux]

That should do the job. :-)

; Load recursively a folder
(defconst elisp-path '("~/.emacs.d"))
(mapcar '(lambda(p)
           (add-to-list 'load-path p)
           (cd p) (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)) elisp-path)

I use this:

(defun pm/add-tree-to-load-path (dirs)
  (mapc (lambda (dir)
    (let* ((default-directory dir))
      (setq load-path (cons dir load-path))
      (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)))
	dirs))

(pm/add-tree-to-load-path '("~/.emacs.d/config" "~/.emacs.d/packages"))

OTH,

  Maurizio

What's that slash after the pm?

First time I've seen a slash in the name of a function...

A slash.

Perfectly legal and often used to make functions more local/attributable e.g your own
functions might be

(defun dc/message(text)
...

Its nothing *special* - just a style choice. Last time I looked, eshell
used this style quite a bit. It has no special meaning to elisp - just
another legal character that can be used in names.
