Hello,
While browsing the Org code, I've found the function `org-program-exists':
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-program-exists (program-name)
"Checks whenever we can locate program and launch it."
(if (member system-type '(gnu/linux darwin))
(= 0 (call-process "which" nil nil nil program-name))))
#+end_src
It is used 3 times in `org-clock.el', nowhere else.
On the contrary, `executable-find' is used 10 times in the Org code base (in
4 different libraries).
Shouldn't we better use `executable-find' everywhere, instead of
`org-program-exists' (which, btw, fails on Windows systems, even when they
have the Cygwin `which' at their disposal)?
I'm ready to submit a patch for this.
Best regards,
Seb
