Subject: bug#17291: 24.3.90; Doing "make" in elpa branch uses the user's ~/.emacs.d
Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:53:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zjji665t.fsf@geodiff-mac3.ulb.ac.be> (raw)

Hi,

I cloned the elpa repo, ran "make externals" and "make".
It showed me warnings like:

EMACS -f batch-byte-compile packages/ack/ack.el
Warning (emacs): Unable to activate package `use-package'.
Required package `bind-key-1.0' is unavailable

(the exact warning is irrelevant, it's a problem in my own installation)

The reason is that the actual command line (which is unfortunately not
shown on the screen) has -f package-initialize which looks for my own
~/.emacs.d. I suggest the following patch to fix the problem:

	Modified   GNUmakefile
diff --git a/GNUmakefile b/GNUmakefile
index 2b07767..f9deecf 100644
--- a/GNUmakefile
+++ b/GNUmakefile
