This morning (in Italy, 8.00 UTC) I downloaded the tar.gz of Org-mode version 7.5 311b09d92644f39040087327d6a1dbeb09a9ab6e and the org-install.el file is not in the tar.gz file. I surfed the git repository with my browser and found that in the /org/lisp directory: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=tree;f=lisp;h=5be11d857b3b180d058ad25b5a985d0ac798e41b;hb=311b09d92644f39040087327d6a1dbeb09a9ab6e there's no org-install.el. This is (now) obvious, since org-install.el is generated by make, as can be read in the makefile. ----------------------- # The following variables need to be defined by the maintainer LISPF = [snip] LISPFILES0 = $(LISPF:%=lisp/%) LISPFILES = $(LISPFILES0) lisp/org-install.el [...] mv org-install.el lisp # ! aha! :-/ ------------------------ However searching the history of makefile http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=history;f=Makefile;hb=912ca556015c745a035d481b18d3e3bf8e930955 I was not able to find when this procedure was introduced. Moreover the commits arount 20th October 2010 leave untouched such part of the makefile. Where does my org-install.el come from? Impossible to know. Even it is a complex file! this is its head: ;;;### (autoloads (org-customize org-reload org-require-autoloaded-modules ;;;;;; org-submit-bug-report org-cycle-agenda-files org-switchb ;;;;;; org-map-entries org-open-link-from-string org-open-at-point-global ;;;;;; org-insert-link-global org-store-link org-run-like-in-org-mode ;;;;;; turn-on-orgstruct++ turn-on-orgstruct orgstruct-mode org-global-cycle ;;;;;; org-mode org-babel-do-load-languages) "org" "lisp/org.el" ;;;;;; (19641 15028)) ;;; Generated autoloads from lisp/org.el So I have some questions and answers: - (Since we are aiming to release org 7.6) will the org-install.el be generated during such process? - and during the compilation of Emacs 24? + I checked version 6.21b (2009-02-02), shipped with Emacs 23.1, and it seems to me that there's no org-install file. so probably it will be generated during the compilation of Emacs 24. - Is it possible that, after 20th october 2010, something changed and the install file is generated *only* with the make command? + well looking through the history of makefile it seems that org-install has been generated at least since 2008-01-31 Carsten Dominik Release 5.18 release_5.18. bah?! cheers, Giovanni /who have to find a way to create the org-install.el without using make or using make, but without compiling org-mode. No .elc file around, please! :-) Perhaps it is time to get Emacs 24 or package manager ;-)
