* Introduction

In order to develop and test ~org-mode~ when your Emacs editor
supports native compilation, there are two things to take into
account:

1. you will need to =make native= to generate the =.eln= files. These
   will be stored under the ~lisp/~ directory of your development
   ~org-mode~ directory.
2. Add the following code in your Emacs ~early-init.el~ file:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((org-devel-path (expand-file-name "<org-mode development dir>/lisp")))
  (when (file-directory-p org-devel-path)
    (when (native-comp-available-p)
      (let ((first (pop native-comp-eln-load-path)))
        ;; put in second place
        (add-to-list 'native-comp-eln-load-path org-devel-path t)
        (add-to-list 'native-comp-eln-load-path first t)))
    (add-to-list 'load-path  org-devel-path)))
#+END_SRC

putting the correct path for your org-mode development directory. In
my case, it is =~/Devel/org-mode=, so the first =let= looks like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((org-devel-path (expand-file-name "~/Devel/org-mode/lisp")))
#+END_SRC
