Can Emacs packages define their own EMACSLOADPATH in their open script?

Can Emacs packages define their own EMACSLOADPATH in their open script?

I use guix to manage different version of Emacs in a foreign distro. However, the Emacs package in the source will record its modification of EMACSLOADPATH in profile, which will cause conflict in different version of Emacs, and also conflict with Emacs in foreign distro.


My idea is move the setting of EMACSLOADPATH into the wrapper script. What's you guys opinions? Thanks.

Hi,

Can you clarify what you mean with

> the Emacs package in the source

? The source of what?

and

> will record its modification of EMACSLOADPATH in profile,

Where is it recorded?  Which modification?  What is "EMACSLOADPATH in profile"?

I'm newbie to Guix and know little about Guix jargon. I'm sorry about that my words make you puzzled.


>? The source of what?

I mean the emacs package in guix source, the emacs-next package, precisely.

The package definition of emacs-next has native-search-path field, which add customized EMACSLOADPATH environment variable.
And I guess it modified ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile.

If you still doesn't understand, please ask me again, thanks!

No problem!

This is correct.

EMACSLOADPATH takes a ':'-separated list of paths which should not
conflict with anything.

Can you detail precisely the conflict you are experiencing?
Maybe give a concrete example?
