If I do: info ~/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/doc/org I get the correct git version of the info file. So what am I doing wrong? Ian, I started having issues with this last week. Re-reading this thread gave me hints at a solution. I don't know what happened on my end, but try the following steps, which worked for me: 1) Navigate to your org source directory (git repo, perhaps) 2) Type =make info= 3) Make sure the org/doc directory is in Info-directory-list (looks like it is for you) Kill any Info buffers and restart Info. The manual should be the correct one now. If that doesn't fix it, try also typing =make install-info=, which updates the site-wide documentation. Let me know if this solves the problem for you, and if you had to type =make install-info=.

[Orgmode] Re: Installing org-mode from git without byte-compiling
Inspecting the Makefile, I see that I probably want to make the info documentation and have that installed automatically, I just don't want to byte-compile the lisp. $ make doc/org The above command will create a file named 'org' in the doc directory. Once this is done alter `Info-directory-list' with the following line in your init file. (push ~/path/to/git/root/doc/ Info-directory-list) If you get some surprises, you can do a C-h v Info-directory-list and make sure that the order of the dirs is just as you want it. I typed the earlier mail from memory. This is the sequence that package manager uses: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (require 'info) (info-initialize) (push pkg-dir Info-directory-list) #+end_src The first two lines were missing in my earlier post. Furthermore, one can use the following to cherry pick the info file of interest: C-u M-x info RET doc/org HTH, Jambunathan K. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I have vague recollections of struggling with Info customization many years ago. I finally worked around the problem by explicitly setting my INFOPATH env variable appropriately in my .profile, so that when emacs starts up, it knows where to look. Of course, making sure that some shell init file gets executed at login time in a modern desktop environment (I use the Gnome desktop on Linux) is a battle as well, but at least that only has to be figured out once: I set it up back in Ubuntu Dapper days and I have not touched it since then. If it ever breaks, I will be tempted to chuck the whole thing out the window... Nick ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Re: Installing org-mode from git without byte-compiling
Jeff Horn jrhorn...@gmail.com writes: Bernt, Eric Schulte, and others, Bernt recently mentioned to me on #org-mode that he doesn't byte-compile org-mode, which makes it much easier to read backtraces. I'm trying to use Eric Schulte's starter-kit fork, and the instructions suggest compiling org-mode.[1] Inspecting the Makefile, I see that I probably want to make the info documentation and have that installed automatically, I just don't want to byte-compile the lisp. 1) Is there a flag or something I can pass to make in order to skip byte-compiling but perform the rest of the script tasks? (The Makefile docstring suggests 'make doc' to make html and PDF docs. Will it also make the info docs and install them automatically?) 2) Out of curiosity, is 'make install' ever necessary when the local git directory is sourced into the load-path? Hi Jeff, I use specific targets with make for the things I want: make lisp/org-install.el make doc/org.info make doc/org.pdf Other than these (and org.pdf is rare) I don't use any other targets that I am aware of. You can remove *.elc files with git using git clean *.elc You can run make targets with -n to display what they would do (but not actually do anything). As far as I know the make install task only builds the *.elc files if necessary and updates the system level emacs. Try: make -n install and look at the resulting output.
