On Ubuntu 20.10, I compiled the latest git master version of emacs, but I can't activate the org-mode command from within it. So I try to install the orgmode using its git repository according to the official guidance [1] as shown below. $ git clone https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git Public/repo/code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git $ cd code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git $ make autoloads Then add the following lines into ~/.emacs.d/init.el: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/Public/repo/code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git/lisp") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/Public/repo/code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git/contrib/lisp" t) But after I started emacs and issue the instructions 'M-x org-mode RET', I see the following information in the minibuffer: M-x org-mode [No match] As you can see, the org-mode is still not available. Any hints for solving this problem is highly appreciated. [1] https://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html. Regards -- Assoc.

Before doing "M-x org-mode" try doing "M-x load-library <RET> org <RET>". If that works, then autoload is your problem. (Background: Emacs doesn't load all available libraries: this would make startup times too long for things you are probably not going to need. Instead, it has a mapping of commands to libraries, to help it load the right library whenever that command is seen the first time). Once we know whether your problem is autoload, we can refine the quest. Cheers - t [-- Attachment #2: Digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 198 bytes --]

Then how should I revise my ~/.emacs.d/init.el to load org library automatically before enable org-mode? Regards -- Assoc.

I finally figured out the following initialization code for orgmode
based on your above wonderful notes:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/Public/repo/code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path
"~/Public/repo/code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git/contrib/lisp" t)
(require 'org)
Thanks again for your help.

You bypass the autoload mechanism with that -- org gets loaded unconditionally. But since you will use it anyway, it doesn't make that big of a difference. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can teach us how one might add an externally installed package into the autoload machinery.

Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> told the following fact: I believe/hope this is a bug that was already fixed on the emacs-27 branch, and hopefully will be merged to master soon. See <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=7b73d6af10&view=pt&search=all&permmsgid=msg-f%3A1687254661144715702&simpl=msg-f%3A1687254661144715702> for more discussion on this topic. Regards -- Assoc.
