Thanks, that was really easy, the installations tutorials available are a bit
intimidating sometimes. Now, things seem to work. I'm a gnus user too,
so your .emacs line work fine for me.

cheers

Running "make bbdb" byte-compiles the .el files and generates
bbdb-autoloads.el; running it in place works just fine.  (If you're using
VM, you'll also need to run "make vm".)  As to making it work, based on
an earlier thread on this list, I have the following in ~/.emacs (I use
Gnus, as will be obvious):

(require 'bbdb)
(require 'bbdb-autoloads)
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
(bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message)

I don't know whether all that is strictly necessary, but it works for me.

Locally install git version of bbdb 3

2011-11-09 Thread Thorsten

Hi List,
maybe a silly question:
I cloned the git-version of bbdb 3 into

,-
| ~/.emacs.d/sitelisp/
`-

and I'm quite happy to keep everything in this place (since its a
dropbox folder, referenced from other machines too). The folder is on
the load-path already.  

Therefore I don't want to run the makefile that will install bbdb
somewhere else. Isn't it just sufficient to just byte-compile all the
.el files in the lisp folders and put a few lines (which ones?) in my
.emacs, or are there more and other things going on under the hood when
I run the makefile?

Thanks for any hints
cheers
