From: Arne Babenhauserheide <arne_bab <at> web.de> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 24.3; wish: set init directory (.emacs.d) by commandline flag for easy custom environments Date: Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:46:41 +0100
This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org. Please check that the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address. Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators for other languages. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': Dear Emacs Hackers, There are nowadays quite a few customized Emacs environments (like prelude, emacs-for-python, elpy, and so forth), and testing them quickly can be quite a challenge, because they need to be intergrated with the local customizations. To ease that, it would be nice, if I could simply set the directory to use for my init with a commandline flag. This would make it possible to specialize my local emacs in several different ways - and to quickly show not-yet-emacs-users how emacs would work for their task: emacs --init-dir ~/emacs-init/python-ide # edit python Best wishes and Happy Hacking Holiday! ☺ Arne If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file /usr/share/emacs/24.3/etc/DEBUG.

I think this sounds like a reasonable request, and I was surprised that this doesn't exist yet. You can achieve something like this with, for instance, HOME=/tmp/foo emacs ... or with --eval, but neither seem very logical. Does anybody object to adding an --init-dir switch? It would just basically set `user-emacs-directory'. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no

Furthermore, we're currently looking at setting user-emacs-directory according to XDG in master ([1] or [2]), so I think we've accepted the maintenance complexity this might bring anyway.

Below is a stab at this, and it seems to work fine -- except that after starting Emacs with --init-directory /tmp/, the async nativecomp never fires. I poked at it for half an hour, but was unable to determine why.

Hi Lars, I don't see anything any obvious here. Well to be honest I don't find many obvious things in our startup in general :) I can only imagine that Emacs is not finding the source to compile from, in that case we should get warnings, do you find trace of these?

I think I may have found what I did wrong in setting up the eln directory, but currently the build doesn't work well with nativecomp even without my changes -- require complaints about require loading itself recursively, or something.

(I think there's a separate bug > report about that...) Yup, with your recent changes everything works fine, and nativecomp works find with the new --init-dir switch. So I'm pushing this to Emacs 29. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
