Hello,
I'm compiling a fairly large set of slides, that also contain quite a
bit of code that is executed (it's a course on JavaScript which shows
some of the language peculiarities). Thus exporting these slides takes a
while. Unfortunately, when it's compiling, it's completely locking my
emacs. Would there be a way for the export process to be asynchronous
and not lock emacs?
Thanks,
Alan

Not yet.
Actually that's, in my roadmap, the single last feature to implement
before moving the new export engine into core.

In the interim it, one solution which I personally like for large
projects is to offload compilation into an external batch Emacs process.
I find this not only useful for compilation while working, but if you
place all relevant config into an init.el file loaded by the batch
Emacs, this also makes it possible to share and compile the project
separate of your personal Emacs config.
Attached is a bare-bones Makefile supporting this sort of work-flow.
Hope this helps,

This is really neat, thanks a lot! I'll definitely use this for my next
course.
Do you use a shell to run make or do you call it directly from emacs?

Good to hear.

I always have a shell open, so I generally prefer to run from there.
You could also just run "M-x compile", which runs make asynchronously
and presents the output in a useful format.

This is probably too complicated for your immediate requirements but it
is a good opportunity to share my solution using CMake. It does add
more complexity though. It is for pdf production and uses something
called UseLATEX.cmake. The main advantages are that:
- it can also regenerate all my plots from standalone (e.g.) R scripts,
so I don't have to do everything in org if I don't want to
- it does 'out of source' builds
- I don't know the make syntax
- it would probably work on different OS
Here is the non-barebones example:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(thesis NONE)
include(/usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/UseLATEX.cmake)
# Set R executable
set(R_COMPILE "/usr/bin/Rscript")
# Set the location of data files
##set(DATA_DIR data)
# Set the location of the directory for image files
set(IMAGE_DIR graphicsauto)
# Get a list of R files
file(GLOB_RECURSE R_FILES "R/*.R")
file(COPY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/R DESTINATION ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${IMAGE_DIR})
