Hello,
here some more details:
Emacs version:
This is GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE
Emacs is installed on a remote server:
\\some_server\some_directory\tools\emacs-22.1
This path is mapped to DOS drive letter Q:
emacs is started with the shortcut:
q:\tools\emacs-22.1\bin\runemacs.exe
with working directory set to
q:\tools\emacs-22.1\bin
To have a correct and minimal customization file I customized the
printer name
and saved this as local customization file:
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(printer-name "test2"))
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
)
Re-starting emacs with the local customization file is ok:
C-h v printer-name gives:
printer-name is a variable defined in `lpr.el'.
Its value is "test2"
Moving ~/.emacs to q:\tools\emacs\site-lisp\site-start.el doesn't
work.
Re-starting emacs and typing C-h v printer-name gives:
printer-name is a variable defined in `lpr.el'.
Its value is "PRN"
Then I tried to start emacs with the \\some-server\some-directory
shortcut
instead of Q:, but doesnt't change anything.
Copying the emacs directory tree to local disk (C:\) and executing
addpm.exe doesn't help either.
Maybe there's something wrong with the pre-compiled emacs version I
use?
Or are there any XP security features that block access to site-
start.el?
