Re: [O] Meaning of install

[Thomas S. Dye]

Hi Nick, Achim, and Yagnesh Raghava Yakkala,

How is this?

1.2.3 Use the Org git repository
--------------------------------

You can clone the development version from the Org git repository,
typically to a location under your home directory.  The following
example assumes this location is `src/' in your home directory:

$ cd ~/src/
$ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git

   In most cases, you will probably want to run `make install' to
install Org with the Emacs system files.  Please run `make help' to get
the full list of options.

   If, for some reason, you would like to run Org from the clone
location, remember to set the load-path correctly in your `.emacs'.
Continuing from the previous example:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/org-mode/lisp")

   Note that in this case, `make autoloads' is mandatory: it defines
Org's version in `org-version.el' and Org's autoloads in
`org-loaddefs.el'.  Continuing from the example:

$ cd org-mode
$ make autoloads

   You can also compile with `make', generate the documentation with
`make doc', or create a local configuration with `make config'.

   A detailed explanation of Org's build system can be found at the Org
Build System page on Worg
(http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-build-system.html).


All the best,
Tom
