org-export-as-latex (org-latex.el) let-binds TeX-master. Later on
feature tex may be loaded. This is a problem, because in that case the
defvar TeX-master of tex (AUCTeX) is ignored.
Warning: defvar ignored because TeX-master is let-bound
This issue could be fixed by adding (require 'tex nil t).

What is your org-version? AFAIR, this was the case at the beginning of
this year (Feb-March '12) but I do not think this is an issue anymore.

No, it is in both maint and master (org-latex.el:958) right now. To be
honest, why is TeX-master exactly bound in the first place?
(TeX-master (boundp 'TeX-master))
For the record, I use Org-mode version 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-62-gde7766),
that is maint from the 15th. of October.

I believe the reason was to get rid of auctex prompting for the master
file name every time an org file is exported to LaTeX.

The default value it t anyway. The docstring suggests that this
variable should be set via file variables. I do not think org-mode
should worry about AUCTeX.

It probably has something to do with this thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-02/msg00473.html
That thread was about auctex prompting for the master file name every
time an org file is opened.

Okay so I was a bit off about the reason; do you see any other ways to
deal with this?

I do not think so, latex export has nothing to do with reftex. This is
the commit in questions
http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=3007ddd1
and I am not exactly sure what's correct about the new form. The old
one looks way better to me.

The more relevant thread I think is
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/48512
In any case, if you can get rid of the let-bind (or the need to muck
with TeX-master at all within org), without introducing a regression,
we are all ears.

I think adding (require 'tex nil t) before the let form is a nice fix.
IMO the situation ATM is pretty bad. If AUCTeX is not loaded pre export
the missing variable definition breaks AUCTeX completely.

Not really: you end up pulling in auctex even if you are not going to
use it.

What missing variable definition? By the time the export is finished,
the let-bind is gone. There is no definition of TeX-master anywhere,
just as if you never had org loaded: why should auctex object to that?
So I don't understand why it would break: all the common scenarios that
I have tried work with no problem for me. I can load an org file, export to
latex, open the latex file (which loads auctex) and do auctex things to
it. I don't get any error. What exactly do I have to do in order to
break it?

Not in my case: (latex-mode) loads the standard tex mode. How do you get
auctex loaded? I thought it was a separate package that needs special
initialization: (load "auctex.el" nil t t) is what the documentation
says. And I have 11.86 which I believe is latest available, but I might
be behind the times: I haven't worried about it in a few years.

I use the AUCTeX distribution provided by the GNU ELPA. By default ELPA
packages are enabled after reading the init file and before
running after-init-hook.
FWIW if you start emacs with -q, you have to initialise ELPA packages
manually via M-x package-initialize RET.

11.86 is still the latest, dating back from one year or two, something like
that.
Regarding installing it, I have:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/Downloads/emacs/site-lisp/auctex-11.86/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/Downloads/emacs/site-lisp/auctex-11.86/lisp/auctex")
(when (locate-library "auctex")
(load "auctex.el") t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But you must pay attention to the following:
- (la)tex-mode :: default Emacs built-in (La)TeX mode
- (La)TeX-mode :: AUCTeX (`LaTeX/P' in the modeline?)
and AUCTeX aliases `(la)tex-mode' to `(La)TeX-mode'.
Something very bad IMHO (having very different packages bound to the same
name, but in a different capitalization) for the sake of simplicity...
But, apart from that, it's a great package -- until you find out about Org ;-).
Best regards,
Seb

Yes, but in order to get LaTeX-mode when you ask for latex-mode, auctex
must already be loaded, otherwise emacs won't know about the alias.
Not sure how Christopher Schmidt's initialization goes: he uses ELPA packages
and something seems to go awry.

It's a great package even after you find out about Org :-)

What do you think about
(when to-buffer
(let ((sym 'latex-mode))
(while (symbolp sym)
(setq sym (symbol-function sym)))
(when (eq (car-safe sym) 'autoload)
(load (cadr sym) sym t t))))
?

No - I didn't try to duplicate what ELPA does (or install

Haven't even tried to decypher this yet, but I assume
it makes your problem go away? I can try it with my setup
and see if it causes any problems.

Ping?
The default value of TeX-master is t. Binding a symbol which might be
defvar'ed within the let-body does not work. In fact, this might break
the Emacs instance, rendering any latex-mode buffer unusable.
To make a long story short, there is no excuse for the form in question.
Please remove it. Everyone who messes with TeX-master should use
org-export-latex-final-hook to set TeX-master and/or add a local
variables list to the buffer.

I skimmed the previous discussions, and my understanding is that the
patch will break things for some users, even those who don't mess with
TeX-master.
Is it so? If yes, can we make a better patch?

I already did, check <87390w51k0@ch.ristopher.com>. The issue I
described will only occur if one uses AUCTeX and AUCTeX has not been
loaded already. Nick did not follow the recipe so he was not able to
reproduce.

It does not break anything for those who do not customise TeX-master.
Those poor souls who do customise TeX-master can easily get back to The
Right Thing using org-export-latex-final-hook.
TeX-master is not meant to be customised by default anyway!
TeX-master is a variable defined in `tex.el'.
Its value is t
Automatically becomes buffer-local when set.
This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value
satisfies the predicate `(lambda (x) (or (stringp x) (member x (quote (t nil shared dwim)))))'.
Documentation:
*The master file associated with the current buffer.
If the file being edited is actually included from another file, you
can tell AUCTeX the name of the master file by setting this variable.
If there are multiple levels of nesting, specify the top level file.
[...]
It is suggested that you use the File Variables (see the info node in
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the Emacs manual) to set this variable permanently for each file.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> Is it so? If yes, can we make a better patch?
I do not think so.
I do not see what's breaking here. The users gets what he wanna get.
We could come up with some magic that preloads latex-mode (I proposed
that in <87r4ods7fw@ch.ristopher.com>) and sets TeX-master buffer
locally iff latex-mode actually defines this var. Yet, this is not how
things should be. Org cannot, and should not, mess with other
packages. Customising TeX-master is the bug, and it is on the users
side.
Bastien, thank you so much for looking into this issue. It has been
bothering for quite some time.
Greetings,
Christopher

For the record, the first step of my recipe, "emacs -q # + AUCTeX", goes
like this:
$ cd /tmp
$ export HOME=/tmp
$ emacs -q --eval "(progn (package-refresh-contents) (package-install 'auctex) (kill-emacs))"
$ emacs -q --eval "(package-initialize)"
Is there anything I can do to help you to help me - i.e. fixing that bug
upstream?

Why is that? What's failing?
( "export HOME=/tmp" makes Emacs use /tmp/.emacs.d as it's
user-directory, forcing package.el to not touch your real
configuration in ~/.emacs.d.)
> Can you give more directions?
There is nothing special about my AUCTeX installation. Vanilla AUCTeX
should produce the same results. The only things one needs to take care
of before executing my recipe is that AUCTeX is autoloaded but not
loaded.

Thank you very much.
Here is a minimal recipe that produces the effects of the bug.
(progn
(let ((TeX-master t))
;; require external TeX library
(defvar TeX-master nil)
(defun TeX-func ()
TeX-master)
;; do stuff with TeX library
;; ...
)

This is a long-standing issue. The only solution at the moment is

The problem is not in master anymore, but we still need to
fix it for maint, from which 7.9.4 will be released soon,
and which will be part of Emacs 24.3.

I still cannot reproduce this.
I add AUCTeX from ELPA, then I emacs -Q and loaded autoload-auctex.el
to make sure the autoloads were correct.
I have this in my minimal config:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.tex\\'" nil TeX-LaTeX-mode))
Even in this case, with Org from maint, C-c C-c in the temporary
buffer returns an error about the buffer not associated with the
file (which is what I expected), not an error about TeX-master.
I've closely read the thread started by Tassilo, but I don't
think we are in the same boat: this thread is about defvar'ing
a variable that is currently let-bound, not about let-binding
a variable that is otherwise defvar'ed.
Please let me know if you have another recipe to reproduce
the bug, I want to get rid of this issue before 7.9.4.
Thanks,

I can reproduce this. (Current maint, GNU Emacs 24.2.93.2)
Did you push AUCTeX's directory in load-path? Does the docstring of
latex-mode mention AUCTeX?

That is not necessary.

Unfortunately I see is no other easy way to reproduce this.
(I am fine with wontfix in maint.)
