What's the reason for something like this? Didn't they have the possibility to dynamically allocate more space for a string (or char array respectively) back then? > So the question is how we pass on the joke... * Document the problem and the given solution. * Don't use PATH for finding executables. Okay this is pretty much out of question since both the shell used for installation as well as Emacs rely on it. BTW, some file variables (like `TeX-lisp-directory') in tex-site.el are already computed dynamically. If all were computed like this, we could probably provide a pre-built version of AUCTeX for Windows users which would only have to be extracted into an existing Emacs tree. No downloading of MSYS, no configuring, no building. That'd be quite convenient. Or did I miss something? -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
