Hi, What is the best way to install emacs lisp files for whatever Emacs is installed? I'm looking in a port that includes an elisp file that works with either GNU Emacs or XEmacs. It is also useful without any Emacs, so creating a foo-emacs and a foo-xemacs port seems stupid. My idea is basically to look what Emacsen are installed, and put the elisp file in their load-path, without adding a dependency on any Emacs. As far as I can see, there are PREFIX/share/emacs/site-lisp and PREFIX/lib/xemacs/site-lisp that are independent of the specific (X)Emacs version, but is there a convenient way not to have to check whether one or both of them are already installed? bsd.emacs.mk doesn't seem to mention something like that, and the chapter in the porter's handbook isn't too helpful yet ;-) Thanks in advance Henrik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
