further on compiling development version of org-mode without make command

further on compiling development version of org-mode without make command

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello again,

Although Sebastian's elisp code was perfect for batch compiling the
lisp/*.el files in the org distribution, it doesn't address one key
element of the make step required: the creation of the
org-install.el file.

I've (with my rather rudimentary elisp skills) modified the function
as follows to incorporate the commands from the Makefile which are
used to create the org-install.el file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; functions from Sebastian Rose <sebastian_rose@gmx.de>             
;; to compile all org files in lieu of a make utility,
;; modified by me to create and compile the org-install.el file
(defvar my/org-lisp-directory "~/git/org-mode/lisp"
  "Directory where your org-mode files live.")
;; adjust my/org-lisp-directory:                                     
(setq my/org-lisp-directory "~/git/org-mode/lisp")
(defun my/compile-org()
  "Compile all *.el files that come with org-mode."
  (interactive)
  (dired my/org-lisp-directory)
  (dired-mark-files-regexp "\\.el$")
  (setq list-of-org-files (dired-get-marked-files))
  (dired-do-load)
  (dired-do-byte-compile)
  ;; create the org-install file                                     
  (require 'autoload)
  (setq esf/org-install-file (concat my/org-lisp-directory "org-install.el"))
  (find-file esf/org-install-file)
  (erase-buffer)
  (mapc (lambda (x)
          (generate-file-autoloads x))
        list-of-org-files
        )
  (insert "\n(provide (quote org-install))\n")
  (save-buffer)
  (byte-compile-file esf/org-install-file)
  
)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Comments of any sort are more than welcome!  It seems to work (but
only time will tell).  Actually, I probably need to delete any
existing org-install.el file first... any suggestions on the best way
to do this would be more than welcome!

Thanks,
eric

I wonder where I have that file. I couldn't find `org-install.el'
anywhere but it seems to work fine here without. What is it needed for?
Speed up things, I guess? As I never compile Org-mode, I never used that
file.

Yes - and we should remove all the *.elc files first (which I missed),
in case some are obsolete after a `git pull'.
Could be done via dired again:

   (dired-mark-files-regexp "\\.el$")
   (setq list-of-org-files (dired-get-marked-files))
   ;; ADD THIS:
   ;; this deletes obsolete files:
   (dolist (f list-of-org-files)
     (delete-file (concat f "c")))

[Stefan Vollmar]

Gentlemen,

we have tried the lisp-version for updating a the plain vanilla MS  
Windows emacs (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows) and I think we  
are almost there - thanks for all the help so far!

When running make update on MacOS X with Aquamacs 1.8b I get lots of  
warnings about "functions not known to be defined" or "functions might  
not be defined at runtime", however, everything seems to work just fine.

Running Sebastian's script on the Windows version yields a number of  
similar warnings but has in addition some "cannot open load file"  
errors (see below). My feeling is that something comparatively simple  
is missing, many thanks in advance for any help with this!

Warm regards,
  Stefan

Hello Stefan,



this last one is because of the line 
    (require 'org-exp)
in `org-ascii.el'



...OK, I tried with a vanilla emacs (emacs -Q) and saw, we either need a
list of files in the right order, or we compile all the files 5 times
(which is bad, since that value could change).


The list is in the Makefile already (that list could change too). I'll
try it that way and post the results here.

Hello Stefan,



this works here with `emacs -Q'

.... we forgot the load path ....
The function is likely to change some more. I just send this version, so
you can compile this way (hopefully).

EXCELLENT - we now have an up-to-date org-mode even for Emacs on MS  
Windows, it worked beautifully - thank you!

Good to here, that it worked on Windows (I always have to start my VM to
test there, and Win32 emacs is not that good configured here yet...).

Just pushed a version, that needs no dired and kills the `install.el'.
So all that remains is the `*Compile-Log*' buffer, which might be of
some use.
I find that less annoying.

Also, the autoload file is loaded after compiling.

Thanks Eric!

Here is the same with some more additions.

1.) Ensure a slash is appended to the directory (i.e. do not create
    ~/.emacs.d/org/lisporg-install.el)
2.) Optionally, do not compile the sources, but create the
    org-install.el file. Will this work?
3.) Take an optional argument: the directory to be compiled.
4.) Fix the bug in my previous mail: only existing files can be
    deleted...


As a next step, we could as well drop the usage of dired, right?

many thanks!  Yes, the missing / was an error I noted just after sending the email...

that would make sense!

I'll play around with this and will get back to you.

Regarding the org-install file, I'm not entirely sure it's necessary
after all.  It's only that the instructions on the org site say to use
that file to initialise org-mode properly!  More exploring to be done...

Thanks again,
eric

Hi Eric and Stefan,


I push the results of this thread to

  http://orgmode.org/org-hacks.html#compiling-org-without-make


This will be available only in one or two hours. If you follow worg.git,
feel free to pull and edit it (Eric, you're a worger, aren't you?). That
way we don't have to send that stuff back and forth all the time.




BTW:  Great how fast the FAQ et al are updated these times. Great work
      everyone! That is fun! :-)

I am (was) not a worger (but have now registered!).  Great idea to use
worg for this.

I've been "offline" the past few days so haven't tried your updates
