Generated automatically by configure. + + The file startup.el guesses at reasonable values for load-path, exec-path, + and lock-directory. This means that if you move emacs and its associated + sub-tree to a different place in the filesystem, or to a different machine, + you won't have to do anything for it to work. + + If you define the paths in this file then they will take precedence over + any value generated by the heuristic in startup.el. The hardcoded paths + will be checked to see if they are valid, in which case they will be used. + Otherwise the editor will attempt to make its normal guess. + + See the NEWS file for a description of the heuristic used to locate the lisp + and exec directories at startup time. If you are looking at this file + because you are having trouble, then you would be much better off arranging + for those heuristics to succeed than defining the paths in this file. + + ** Let me say that again. If you're editing this file, you're making + ** a mistake. Re-read the section on installation in ../etc/NEWS. + + If it defines anything, this file should define some subset of the following: + + PATH_PREFIX The default value of `prefix-directory'. This is the + default root for everything. + + PATH_LOADSEARCH The default value of `load-path'. + + PATH_EXEC The default value of `exec-directory' and `exec-path'. + (exec-path also contains the value of whatever is in + the PATH environment variable.) + + PATH_DATA The default value of `data-directory'. This + is where architecture-independent files are + searched for. + + PATH_LOCK The name of the directory that contains lock files + with which we record what files are being modified in + Emacs. This directory should be writable by everyone. + If this is specified, the string must end with a slash! + + PATH_SUPERLOCK The name of the file !!!SuperLock!!! in the lock + directory. You probably should let this default... + + PATH_INFO The default value of `Info-directory-list'. + This is where info files are searched for. */
