7 The file startup.el guesses at reasonable values for load-path, exec-path,
|
|
|
8 and lock-directory. This means that if you move emacs and its associated
|
|
|
9 sub-tree to a different place in the filesystem, or to a different machine,
|
|
|
10 you won't have to do anything for it to work.
|
|
|
11
|
|
|
12 If you define the paths in this file then they will take precedence over
|
|
|
13 any value generated by the heuristic in startup.el. The hardcoded paths
|
|
|
14 will be checked to see if they are valid, in which case they will be used.
|
|
|
15 Otherwise the editor will attempt to make its normal guess.
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 See the NEWS file for a description of the heuristic used to locate the lisp
|
|
|
18 and exec directories at startup time. If you are looking at this file
|
|
|
19 because you are having trouble, then you would be much better off arranging
|
|
|
20 for those heuristics to succeed than defining the paths in this file.

|
25 If it defines anything, this file should define some subset of the following:
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 PATH_PREFIX The default value of `prefix-directory'. This is the
|
|
|
28 default root for everything.
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 PATH_LOADSEARCH The default value of `load-path'.
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
32 PATH_EXEC The default value of `exec-directory' and `exec-path'.
|
|
|
33 (exec-path also contains the value of whatever is in
|
|
|
34 the PATH environment variable.)
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 PATH_DATA The default value of `data-directory'. This
|
|
|
37 is where architecture-independent files are
|
|
|
38 searched for.
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 PATH_LOCK The name of the directory that contains lock files
|
|
|
41 with which we record what files are being modified in
|
|
|
42 Emacs. This directory should be writable by everyone.
|
|
|
43 If this is specified, the string must end with a slash!
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 PATH_SUPERLOCK The name of the file !!!SuperLock!!! in the lock
|
|
|
46 directory. You probably should let this default...
|
|
|
47
|
|
203
|
48 PATH_INFO This is where the info documentation is installed.
|
|
|
49
|
|
|
50 PATH_INFOPATH The default value of `Info-directory-list'.
|
|
|
51 These are additional places info files are searched
|
|
|
52 for. */
