Subject: Skipping installation of .el.gz files
Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2023 20:45:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ierwmvedv45.fsf@janestreet.com> (raw)
At my site, I'd like to install the Emacs source code along with Emacs
and set source-directory, so that users can easily jump to function
definitions and search the Emacs source.
This works great for C function definitions, but Lisp function
definitions still jump to the .el.gz files which are installed by "make
install". If I delete those files, jumping to Lisp function definitions
stops working entirely.
Is there a clean and supported way to teach Emacs to jump to the files
in source-directory instead of the .el.gz ones? This is what it
normally does when I run Emacs without installing it, so I expect it's
possible.
