Makefile to export to html/pdf using emacsclient

Makefile to export to html/pdf using emacsclient

[Garrido Xavier]

Dear orgers,

Sometimes ago Eric Schulte posted a Makefile to run the exporter in a 
asynchronous way (see 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-11/msg00788.html). 
I am wondering if it is possible to use =emacsclient= in order not to 
load any special init file but the current emacs settings. I have tried 
to setup something like that

emacsclient -n --eval '(org-beamer-export-to-pdf)' talk.org

but then I get stuck inside my current emacs frame waiting for an output 
file. Can someone helps me on this issue. Maybe the solution is trivial 
and I'm too noob to catch it.

Thanks for your help,
Xavier

Hi Xavier,

I am not an expert but perhaps my reply will do until someone more
knowledgeable comes along.

I think your command tells emacsclient to open talk.org.

You could try this:

emacs -Q --batch -l my-config.el --eval \
      '(progn (find-file "talk.org")(org-beamer-export-to-pdf))'

Where my-config.el sets load paths and loads all the things it needs
(e.g. org-mode).  If you don't load a config file you need to specify
everything in the --eval option.  For example here is what I have been
using, (it has extra escape characters (i.e. \\) and no line
continuations because it was read from a file):

emacs -Q --batch --eval \"(progn
                  (add-to-list 'load-path
                         (expand-file-name \\"~/.emacs.d/plugins/org-mode/lisp/\\"))
                       (add-to-list 'load-path
                      (expand-file-name \\"~/.emacs.d/plugins/org-mode/contrib/lisp/\\" t))
                  (require 'org)

                       (org-babel-do-load-languages

                      '((emacs-lisp . t)
                          (sh . t)
                          (plantuml . t)))
                       (setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)

Shot in the dark: what happens if you use (org-beamer-export-to-pdf t)?

The same, it is still waiting for an output file.

Following Myles answer I get something almost working by doing

emacsclient -n --eval '(progn (find-file 
"talk.org")(org-beamer-export-to-pdf))'

It switches the buffer to the "talk.org" in my current emacs frame but 
it is almost working.
