Wright @ 2002-06-05 13:56 UTC (permalink / raw) Cc: help-emacs-windows, bug-gnu-emacs I remember some discussion about this some time ago, and I probably said at that time that I would find this useful. However, if I start emacs with no init file then I find that several environment variables are set, such as EMACSLOADPATH, but not EMACSDIR, although emacs_dir is set. Perhaps as a consequence, neither EMACSLOADPATH not load-path includes emacs_dir/../site-lisp. I have not explicitly set any emacs-related environment variables, and I do not run addpm, since it no longer seems to be necessary. But would addpm set EMACSDIR? It seems to me that the code that sets EMACSLOADPATH etc. should also set EMACSDIR, or the code that sets load-path should check emacs_dir as well as (or instead of) EMACSDIR. The above comments relate to GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt4.0.1381) of 2002-03-19 on buffy Francis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Rumney" <jasonr@gnu.org> To: "Chris Lott" <chrisl@frodo.thethirdsector.com> Cc: <help-emacs-windows@gnu.org> Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 7:45 PM Subject: Re: [h-e-w] optimal directory structure? > "Chris Lott" <chrisl@frodo.thethirdsector.com> writes: > > > Is there a way to tell emacs where the new site-lisp directory is > > and have it pick up all the subdirectories? > > Emacs automatically searches for EMACSDIR/../site-lisp as well as > EMACSDIR/site-lisp, so it shouldn't be necessary to tell Emacs > anything with the structure you propose. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Perhaps you have EMACSLOADPATH set explicitly (from a previous version of addpm, which did not include the site-lisp dirs?), so it is not overridden by Emacs' startup code. > I have not explicitly set any emacs-related environment variables, and I do > not run addpm, since it no longer seems to be necessary. But would addpm > set EMACSDIR? No. I meant emacs_dir, sorry about the confusion. EMACSLOADPATH should be initialized from that (see w32.c) when Emacs starts up. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
