To: Org Mode List
I have two machines: WinXP and Vista (64 bit) with Emacs 22.3
on both.
Both are configured the same in terms of libraries and, specifically,
the org-mode configuration is the same.
However, the (require 'org-install) on the Vista system doesn't
seem to work the same as it does on WinXP. When I type C-c a
on the XP system I get the usual menu asking for the additional
key for the type of agenda I want.
On the Vista system, though, when I type C-c a I don't get this
menu and it provides the agenda in the default format (which isn't
really as useful to me).
I do a C-h f on org-agenda and it tells me (on the Vista system)
that it is an interactive Lisp function in 'org.el'.
Apparently, even with the (require ...) in my .emacs file I am
not loading 'org-install.
Any ideas why this would be?

I would check that you are running the same version of org on both -
call the function org-version.

Thanks, Mike. That was it. For some reason I had, on the
Vista machine, an old version (3.15) of org.el earlier in
the load-path than on the XP machine. I really don't know
where it came from... :(

Hi,
After I updated yesterday I have been having this problem. This is how
I compile:
$ make cleanall && make all
and I load org from my init file like this:
;; the org repo is at ~/build/org-mode
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/build/org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/build/org-mode/contrib/lisp"))
(require 'org-install)
Now every time something needs to be loaded say org-latex during latex export
or org-table when turning on orgtbl minor mode, I get errors like these:
(file-error "Cannot open load file" "lisp/org")
I see lisp/org-install.el has autoloads like these:
(autoload 'org-mode "lisp/org" ...)
I have faced this once earlier, not sure how I resolved it back then. What am
I doing wrong here?

I faced this, too.
A fix/workaround is to adjust the loadpath to:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/build/org-mode"))
After quick browsing through the logs I found nothing that could have
caused this, but my guess is that someone adjusted the autoloads from
"file.el" to "lisp/file.el".

That seems to work for now. But I think this should still be addressed.
At least if this is how org behaves now, the instructions on Worg
should reflect that.
Thanks a lot. :)

I think I tracked it down: The problem is emacs24, that is the
autoload.el that it bundles.
With emacs23 it doesn't honor the path of the file it's passed, but with
emacs24 it does, resulting in "lisp/file" autoloads.
I don't see an easy solution, that's not plain dirty.[1]
Michael
I consider adding the base directory along with the `lisp' and maybe
`contrib/lisp' directories quite dirty ;)

I run emacs24 and I don't have this problem - and I made sure that I was
running emacs24 by modifying the makefile appropriately:

leading lisp/ is the problem.
(autoload 'org-mode "lisp/org" ...)
This is my setup:
emacs 24 is installed in /opt/emacs-lisp I changed the Makefile to point
EMACS to /opt/emacs-lisp/bin/emacs and ran make. It still generates the
same autoloads (with the leading lisp/).
I setup org by evaluating the following lines in an emacs session
started as emacs -Q:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/build/org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/build/org-mode/contrib/lisp"))
;; activate org
(require 'org-install)
I get the same error again, its trying to load lisp/org instead of org.
I tried this with a fresh clone of the org-mode repository. I can't see
where I could have gone wrong here.

Suvayu and I worked on this in an email exchange: it turns out that
Michael was right in that (recent) emacs 24 is indeed the culprit. In
particular, the variable generated-autoload-file is now initialized to
nil:
,----
| (defvar generated-autoload-file nil
| "File into which to write autoload definitions.
| A Lisp file can set this in its local variables section to make
| its autoloads go somewhere else.
|
| If this is a relative file name, the directory is determined as
| follows:
| - If a Lisp file defined `generated-autoload-file' as a
| file-local variable, use its containing directory.
| - Otherwise use the \"lisp\" subdirectory of `source-directory'.
|
| The autoload file is assumed to contain a trailer starting with a
| FormFeed character.")
`----
whereas before (e.g. in the version of emacs 24 that I'm running: GNU
Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0) of
2011-04-13) it was initialized to "loaddefs.el":
,----
| (defvar generated-autoload-file "loaddefs.el"
| "*File \\[update-file-autoloads] puts autoloads into.
| A `.el' file can set this in its local variables section to make its
| autoloads go somewhere else. The autoload file is assumed to contain a
| trailer starting with a FormFeed character.")
`----
The particular value is not that important: the fact that it was
a relative file name is, as indicated by the comment above.
I think the following patch fixes it and does not break any earlier
versions of org. Suvayu, Michael (and anybody else who cares to try it):
would you mind checking and reporting back?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
thanks for looking into it.
But the patch doesn't work. I think that stems from the fact, that the
first thing `generate-file-autoloads' does is to bind it new:
,----
| (defun generate-file-autoloads (file)
| "Insert at point a loaddefs autoload section for FILE.
| Autoloads are generated for defuns and defmacros in FILE
| marked by `generate-autoload-cookie' (which see).
| If FILE is being visited in a buffer, the contents of the buffer
| are used.
| Return non-nil in the case where no autoloads were added at point."
| (interactive "fGenerate autoloads for file: ")
| (let ((generated-autoload-file buffer-file-name))
| (autoload-generate-file-autoloads file (current-buffer))))
`----
And because we feed it a relative file name it's bound to a relative
file name.
Michael

OK, thanks to both you and Michael for checking: back to the drawing
board. Things would be easier if I could reproduce it: I'll install
emacs latest and try again.

I cannot reproduce it even with latest org, latest emacs: org-install.el
makes properly with autoloads that look like this:
,----
| (autoload 'org-mode "org" "\
| Outline-based notes management and organizer, alias
| \"Carsten's outline-mode for keeping track of everything.\"
`----
No lisp/org anywhere in sight (except in comments).
I also tried with Michael's patch and it still works for me, so if
it fixes things for him and Suvayu, it should probably be applied
(but I wish I understood what goes wrong and how the patch fixes it).

That sounds great. I'm running on Julien's emacs-snapshot so I'm not
using an latest version.

I try to summarize (sorry for being incomprehensible in the other mail
-- it's to hot here):
Problem: autoload.el generates file names with lisp/ prefix.
Solution:
- We generate the autoloads file in the org directory.
- To get valid file names we use the non-prefixed file names.

For you and Suvayu, but not for me. It's the discrepancy
that bothers me.

I would like to understand the root cause.

I dug into emacs because I thought "Sure, there must be some change in
the meantime", well now I'm bothered, too.
The bzr autoloads.el is identical to mine.
But this code makes me curious:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun autoload-file-load-name (file)
"Compute the name that will be used to load FILE."
;; OUTFILE should be the name of the global loaddefs.el file, which
;; is expected to be at the root directory of the files we're
;; scanning for autoloads and will be in the `load-path'.
(let* ((outfile (default-value 'generated-autoload-file))
(name (file-relative-name file (file-name-directory outfile)))
(names '())
(dir (file-name-directory outfile)))
;; If `name' has directory components, only keep the
;; last few that are really needed.
(while name
(setq name (directory-file-name name))
(push (file-name-nondirectory name) names)
(setq name (file-name-directory name)))
(while (not name)
(cond
((null (cdr names)) (setq name (car names)))
((file-exists-p (expand-file-name "subdirs.el" dir))
;; FIXME: here we only check the existence of subdirs.el,
;; without checking its content. This makes it generate wrong load
;; names for cases like lisp/term which is not added to load-path.
(setq dir (expand-file-name (pop names) dir)))
(t (setq name (mapconcat 'identity names "/")))))
(if (string-match "\\.elc?\\(\\.\\|\\'\\)" name)
(substring name 0 (match-beginning 0))
name)))
#+end_src emacs-lisp
if I read it correctly we decompose our path-name (say lisp/org.el), by
rebasing it on outfile (org-install.el, which gives lisp/org.el) and
split in dirs, which gives '("lisp" "org.el"), then we are in the else
branch, build "lisp/org.el" and then in the last if we chop of the
".el".
I can't see how you get there correct path names :(

With this patch for the makefile I can get it running:

I have some problems with writing org-install directly but otherwise
autoload.el generates lisp/ autoloads (with LISPFILES0) or fails to find
(with LISPF).
But because org-install is automatically generated I don't consider them
as such grave in the case it kills the old file and leaves garbage
(maybe use a backup file?).
I tried several things that all failed:
1. Let-bind `generated-autoload-load-name' per run
2. add `generated-autoload-file' to the elisp files
3. 1. with LISPFILES0
4. ...
I'll spare you the rest. :(

This patch to the Makefile generates the autoloads without the lisp/
prefix for me and works without errors. However as Nick says, maybe its
worthwhile to understand why this was happening in the first place. My
lisp knowledge is very little, but please let me know if I can help
track this down.

I'm jumping late into this thread so apologies first but I just wanted
to add one data point: I had this problem as well (and did mention it in
passing in some message a few weeks ago) but it disappeared. I track
Julien's Emacs 24 builds and it would *appear* that the change in
behaviour appeared and then disappeared. At least, my org-install.el
file suddenly had "lisp/org" and then just as suddenly did not!

Uhh this is getting more weird with every new message.
From when is your package? And what is the current state of this
problem? With the package from yesterday I still see the problem.
Like I said in another message in this thread: From looking at the
source I see no way, that autoloads could generate the path we need.
@Suvayu Do you use Julien's emacs-snapshot, too?

Actually, it's getting even more confusing. My summary above is wrong.
Sorry! However, I have three systems:
|--------+------------------------+--------------------+-------------|
| system | emacs-snapshot version | org-install format | org version |

These are all Debian testing/unstable systems with slightly different
mixes of packages and two (1,2) with one commit newer than the other
(3).
Two different versions of Emacs but the different method of specifying
the autoload not matching the version of Emacs. There's something else
going on! I'm happy to give versions of other packages if required, of
course!
Very very strange!

I get them with the following line in my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://emacs.naquadah.org/ unstable/
deb-src http://emacs.naquadah.org/ unstable/
Latest version is from yesterday. Julien tends to do a weekly
snapshot. There are some strange window/frame problems with the latest
versions, especially to do with popups, but not deal breaking (IMO).

Thanks! (and to Michael as well for the reference).
Like Suvauy, I use the git mirror on repo.or.cz. I'm allergic to bzr
so I try not to go too close to savanah.

Yes, I slammed into those head-first yesterday: I got a frame for each
message viewed (I use mh-e) and for each debug trace. I ran away as fast
as possible.

Those were annoying me a lot[1]! However it has been fixed in the latest
Emacs 24. I had to use bzr for the bugfix since the git mirror is behind
by several days (not sure why that is though, until March it used to be
only a few days behind).
Footnotes:
[1] The pop-ups became intolerable when exporting files with lots of
babel blocks. The problem was switch-buffer-to-other-window was behaving
as switch-buffer-to-other-frame.

Is there any more progress on finding and fixing this problem with org
and emacs24? I just built the development version of Aquamacs (GNU
Emacs 24.0.50.3). The problem with the way org autoloads lisp files is
present. Should this patch be applied to org sources?

I have been using this patch since my last post, I haven't had this
problem again. But of course that doesn't say whether that means the
problem isn't present without the patch. :)

I've cloned emacs.git and compiled Emacs24 yesterday just to find out.
I've not drilled down to the bottom of this yet, but it is a deliberate
change in autoload.el and I'm not sure if the change in behaviour that
org-mode affects was intended or not. If anybody frequents the Emacs
developer list, you might ask Chong Yidong (I've already sent him an
email with that question, but the devlist might be quicker).
Anyway, I intend to fix this during the restructuring of the Makefile by
building those targets in a sub-make that runs in ./lisp (unless I run
into a problem with that). Meanwhile the patch that has been posted
fixes the issue and does not break on older Emacsen, so this should
probably be applied by Bastien.
Regards,
Achim.

May be these changes deserve a NEWS entry - C-h n
The change has caused lots of confusion at least in this list.

I somehow lost track of this patch (my .overview in Gnus got corrupted)
and I cannot access Gmane as the search.gmane.org seems to be down.
Can someone send me this patch again so that I apply it?
Thanks in advance,

Scratch that. You need that line _additionally_ to the your other two.

I noticed something strange; if you do (load-library "org-capture") for
example (with the load path set to ~/build/orgmode/lisp), the
libraries get loaded without any errors and then on everything works as
usual. This seems like a strange behaviour to me.

No, it's perfectly fine. With the autoloads you search for
`lisp/file.el' so the directory that includes the lisp directory has to
be in the load-path.
If you search only for the `file.el' the `lisp' directory itself has to
be in the load-path. This is exactly the problem if you change your
load-path according to my first mail: If you (or a file -- in my case it
was org-contacts.el) load the file directly, you'll fail.
With org-mode this is especially hairy, because the bundled org-mode is
by default still in the load-path, so you'll load the old ones -- in the
best case this results in cryptic and incomprehensible error messages on
load.
