Bonjour,

je commence à peine à utiliser org mode sur une machine Windows et cherche
à exporter le premier fichier créé en openDocument ODT ou en pdf. Il manque
semble-t-il un Zip operator, mais le plus gros problème pour moi est de
savoir comment configurer l'exec-path pour indiquer le chemin du logiciel
(où est ce fichier, comment l'édite-on, etc.) je patauge sérieusement. J'ai
les tuto et le mannuel book, mais je n'y trouve pas ma réponse

Pourriez-vous m"indiquer où je pourrais trouver de l'aide,

merci par avance
sylvie célérier

Sylvie is using Windows and she tries to export to ODT (for further
conversion to PDF).

Apparently, the executable "Zip operator" is needed.

But the main problem is to configure the exec-path to tell where 
the executable should be found.

Thanks,

Hello Sylvie,

I never used odt-export before and I can reproduce your problem.
I'm using MS Windows and Emacs 24.1.50 with orgmode 7.8.10.

It looks like, that org-export expects a Windows command line tool 
called 'zip'.
I downloaded the Gzip binary from 
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm.
I opened the zip-file with a graphical unzip-program  (like Winzip or 
7zip or Totalcommander or so).

Then I put only gzip.exe into Windows/system32 directory and renamed it 
to zip.exe

After that M-x org-export-as-odt does not display the zip-Error any 
more, but stops with 'Unable to create odt file (1)' in my case.

So I do not know whether this zip-workaround does not work or if there 
are additional requirements to satisfy.

Regards,
O.

For zip on Windows use,

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Info-ZIP or 
[2] http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zip.htm
[2] You can also install Cygwin.

Also see
[1] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-07/msg00485.html
[2] http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-18-18

Btw, mailing list and worg + faq are good places to start when one needs
extra help with Org.

I don't think you can do that.  Some references I found.  Curious minds
can do more R&D :-)

,---- From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip
| gzip is normally used to compress just single files.[4] Compressed
| archives are typically created by assembling collections of files into a
| single tar archive, and then compressing that archive with gzip. The
| final .tar.gz or .tgz file is usually called a "tarball".[5]
| 
| Gzip is not to be confused with the ZIP archive format, which also uses
| DEFLATE. The ZIP format can hold collections of files without an
| external archiver, but is less compact than compressed tarballs holding
| the same data, because it compresses files individually and cannot take
| advantage of redundancy between files (solid compression).

,---- From zip's manual page
| zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, MSDOS,
| OS/2, Windows 9x/NT/XP, Minix, Atari, Macintosh, Amiga, and Acorn RISC
| OS.  It is analogous to a combination of the Unix commands tar(1) and
| compress(1) and is compatible with PKZIP (Phil Katz's ZIP for MSDOS
| systems).

When this happens, the "*Messages*" buffer usually contains the error
string emitted by zip.  Please look at the messages buffer for possible
remedies.

Thank you for that. Messages buffer offers that gzip does not understand -X.

So using gzip in that way was no good idea.

Apologies to all for the spam ^^
