Hello. This is my Org-from-Git recipe: After you've cloned the repository (master branch), run "make" and then edit the "local.mk" file. There you'll find a variable named "prefix"; change it according to your Emacs installation. In my setup, Emacs files live in /usr/share/emacs/ so I leave "pref

Hi all, I wanted to upgrade Org, using the package manager, and it failed. Being accustomed to the package manager failing (for whatever reason), I deleted Org-mode and decided to go with the git version. I did a clone, then make, make doc and sudo make install, but M-x org-version says its Org-

Thank you for your replies, I think i'm beginning to understand the process. These are the changes I made to local.mk: prefix = /usr/local/share datadir = /usr/local/share/emacs/24.4.50/etc/org (actually, this directory belongs to the built-in Org installation) Then: $ make $ sudo make install

This is my setup in .emacs; it runs without problems version after version. You are encouraged to simplify the path schema of org-mode branches I use. Minimal sequence for me is:  make clean & git pull & make autoloads & make info;; .emacs begins activate debugging     (setq debug-on-error

It seems i'm flooding John's inbox trying to send back this message into the discussion. I'm deeply sorry for that. I did what John suggested: - git clone... - cd to the repository - make (which i think does two things, byte-compilation and generating org-loaddefs.el) - add lisp dir to load-path

Hello. I'm quite confused with the installation options. Recently started out a Debian base system and compiled Emacs from the bzr repository. That came out fine, so I ran 'make install' and now Emacs 24.4.50 sits in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/share, etc. I want to install the master branch of or
