Hi,

For my autotools setup, I need a way to export org-mode files into a
different directory (for make distcheck). Currently I do that by copying
all dependencies into the output directory, building the result and then
killing the dependencies again - which is a horrible clutch (but works).¹

Is there a way to simply set a variable in emacs which is then used as
the output-directory?

Then I could call emacs with

echo yes | @emacs@ --batch --load "~/.emacs" --visit "$(notdir $<)"
--eval "(setq variable $VPATH)" --funcall org-beamer-export-to-pdf

I tried this hint from 2012 (#+bind: ...),
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-03/msg00272.html
but it does not seem to work anymore.

#+bind: org-export-publishing-directory "./exports"
