Hi, In Gentoo we have an issue with the location of the OpenDocument style files, reported to us in bug 396269 [1].
When org-mode is installed as a separate Gentoo package, its lisp files are installed in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/. According to our policy, non-lisp files would go to /usr/share/emacs/etc/org-mode/. We would pass this as the "etcdir" parameter to "make install", so the odt style files would be installed in stylesdir = /usr/share/emacs/etc/org-mode/styles/. Now org-odt.el currently defines org-odt-styles-dir in a defconst, and it searches only in ../etc/styles/, ./etc/styles/, and ./etc/org/ relative to lispdir. Obviously it cannot find the files in the Gentoo location. Now my question, could the defconst be changed to a defvar, so that we can specify the location in our site-start file? Or, preferably, could the etcdir specified in "make" command be honoured in the lisp code? Ulrich [1] <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396269>
