makefile for v. 7.9.1 on Windows 7 doesn't work

[Bostjan Vilfan]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 238 bytes --]

Hello,
I notice that the makefile in version 7.9.1 has been changed (with regard to v. 7.8.11). When I tried to run it under Windows7, it didn't work (the makefile for 7.8.11 ran OK). Can anyone provide some information?

Can you provide more information? The error, what you were doing, etc?
The last time I git pulled perhaps a week or so ago, I tried following
Worg like so:[1]
,---
| emacs -batch -Q -L lisp -l ../UTILITIES/org-fixup -f
org-make-autoloads-compile
`---

It failed. I inspected the dit directory and noticed that it's  not
../UTILITIES anymore; all of the make stuff is in ../mk. Could that be
the problem if you're following Worg?

As an aside, I just tried re-compiling to check and I noticed that if
I follow Worg and cd into /path/to/org.git/mk and then run =emace
-batch ... ../mk/org-fixup.el ...=, I get the error:
,---
| Symbol's function definition is void: org-find-library-dir
`---

If I cd to /path/to/org.git and run the command with only one perios
(=emacs ... ./mk/org-fixup.el ...=), then it works. But =M-x
org-version= spits out something related to org-fixup and isn't a real
version number.

In any case, I can still compile as far as I know. Sorry if this
wasn't your issue, but with the lack of details no one will be able to
help you diagnose the problem.

John

If the problem is related to the missing =UTILITIES= directory, the
solution would seem to be just re-run the update.  I had that issue on
several machines, all of which complained the first time about the
missing =UTILITIES= directory and then ran successfullly on the
subsequent updates.

Can someone else confirm? I'm just pulled again and have no UTILITIES dir.

I confirm there is no UTILITIES/ directory anymore.

It has been rename as mk/ for git cloners, and it is absent
from the .tar.gz and .zip.

Any reason my compiliation would fail with the error `Symbol's
function definition is void: org-find-library-dir` ? This happens from
inside ~/org.git/mk, but if I adjust the compiliation path and run
from ~/org.git instead, it appears to compile successfully.

The other thread from the list I find when searching this error seems
to suggest that a patch was applied in May to fix this (or at least
another cause of this):

=UTILITIES/= was renamed =util/=, and then has since been moved to
=mk/=.  The results I had seen seemed to indicate that it couldn't
find a script in UTILITIES/ so it could not continue (because it had
been renamed but was being looked for in the old location).

Running it a second time simply removed the confusion as to the
location of the files and permitted the update to continue without
issues.

I've just fixed this to refer to mk/ rather than UTILITIES/.

I don't really know where your other problems come from, but it seems
that whatever you are invoking as "emacs" fails to properly set up the
load path.  You can try and replace the "-L" option with "--directory".

I'll definitely try this. Where should the load path point? My emacs
dir, or the org git dir?

What I meant was that if you add something to load-path via this option,
make sure it actually turns up _first_ in the load-path.  Like

emacs -L blafasel

should then have "blafasel" as the first component in load-path.  If
emacs is invoked via a wrapper scriptit may inject other options in
places that subvert this.  Another possibility is that an environment
variable EMACS_LOADPATH is set (or gets set by some wrapper) when emacs
is started, this would also explain why the load-path doesn't end up
what it's supposed to be.

Achim.

Thanks, Achim. I just now sent a fresh note to the list about this
specific issue, as I pretty much derailed this into a discussion on
that error. It seemed fitting to make a new thread and I included a
lot more details. I think the issue comes down to the function
=org-find-library-dir=, not the load path. I could be wrong. I don't
know where =org-find-library-dir= is defined.

From what I understand of the above, it still isn't working. I tried this:
#+begin_src cmd
emacs -batch -Q -L C:\path\to\org.git lisp -l ../mk/org-fixup.el -f
org-make-autoloads-compile
#+end_src

This is wrong. Try

emacs -batch -Q -L lisp -l ../mk/org-fixup.el -f org-make-autoloads-compile

You must do a 

cd C:\path\to\org.git

before.

C-h f org-find-library-dir RET shows that it's a macro in org-compat.el.
Macros are a bit tricky -- see (info "(elisp) Compiling macros")
for the gory details. Might this be the problem here?

Re: makefile for v. 7.9.1 on Windows 7 doesn't work

[Bostjan Vilfan]

Hello,
Thanks for all the answers. It seems that my problem was that I was not
aware of some changes  in the 7.9.1 version. I was finally able to make
the 7.9.1 version operational by following the procedure in

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

However, there are still some things I don't understand; there is this reference
to the UTILITIES directory, which is absent in the distribution file
for Windows.
I later found out that one has to run the set-up script in the top directory
of the distribution file.

bostjanv

Yes, the Worg files were outdated.  I updated them, using "mk" instead
of "UTILITIES".
