Hi Carsten,

I do not have my org-files in my home directory (neither on GNU/Linux
nor on Windows). That is why the expansion of "~" does not seem to help
here.
Just to clear things up a bit: "F:\" is not my home directory. My home
directory under Cygwin is "C:\cygwin\home\home\pduser". "F:\" is a fat32
partition I use to share my data between Windows and GNU/Linux. From
GNU/Linux this partition is called "~/data/".
Tim O Callaghan was so kind to give me a tip off-list using the setenv
variable. Since the paths I'm using are not the same in relation to my
different home directories this might be a feasible solution.
My approach so far doesn't work (probably just my bad lisp):
-------------------------
(cond
((file-directory-p "C:/Programme")
; do Windows stuff:
(setenv "DATA_HOME" (expand-file-name "F:/"))
)
((file-directory-p "/home/patrick/")
; do GNU/Linux stuff
(setenv "DATA_HOME" (expand-file-name "~/data"))
)
)
(setq org-directory (concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff"))
(setq org-remember-templates
'((?t "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a" (concat (getenv "DATA_HOME")
"/org-stuff/TODO.org")
(?j "* %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" (concat (getenv "DATA_HOME")
"/org-stuff/JOURNAL.org")))))
(setq org-agenda-files (quote ((concat (getenv "DATA_HOME")
"/org-stuff/computerstuff.org")
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/heinzerling.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/THESIS.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/privat.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/TODO.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/JOURNAL.org"))))
-------------------------
I receive following error message when trying to invoke the agenda from
an org file:
-------------------------
org-check-agenda-file: Wrong type argument: stringp, (concat (getenv
"DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/computerstuff.org")
-------------------------
TIA
Patrick
