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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
