How to use this starter to begin? about emacs.g HOT 14 CLOSED

Oh, it's because I download this repo from browser in github. That will miss .git dir.

I use borg in windows. After run make bootstrap, there are many errors.

e:\emacs\.emacs.d>make bootstrap

What's the task of this script? Can I do it by hand using command or using elisp?

from emacs.g.

This file, like all other files, are checked in with unix line terminators (\n) into the repository. On your machine they appear to be checked out with dos/windows line terminators (\r\n), which makes sense since you are on windows. It appears though that your shell expects \n.

You can tell Git what file endings to check a file out with to work around this. See core.eol and subsequent variables in man git-config. It's probably best you search the web for articles about those variables. I don't have any experience with them and since this is not a Borg-specific issue I would appreciate it if you could get help for this elsewhere.

It clones all modules and compiles all elisp. You can use git submodule update --init instead, but that will forgo compilation. You can do that in a second step using make build.

You could also try to change the terminators once, using dos2unix borg.sh.

This is what I want. Thank you for your patient answer!

I have used git submodule update --init --recursive to clone all modules before the previous error occured. Emacs can also start normaly after git submodule update --init --recursive . But I found .el files not automatic compiled.

auto-compile doc says:

Starting with Emacs version 24.4, setting load-prefer-newer to t prevents outdated byte code files from being loaded. However this does not cause re-compilation of the source file, to actually do that auto-compile-on-load-mode is still required.

So I set load-prefer-newer to nil in early-init.el, but it still cannot auto-compile.

from emacs.g.

There's a problem in below function

(defun borg--maybe-absorb-gitdir (pkg)
  (if nil;(version< (nth 2 (split-string (car (process-lines "git" "version")) " "))
           ;     "2.12.0")
      (let ((gitdir (borg-gitdir pkg))
            (topdir (borg-worktree pkg)))
        (unless (equal (let ((default-directory topdir))
                         (car (process-lines "git" "rev-parse" "--git-dir")))
                       (directory-file-name gitdir))
          (rename-file (expand-file-name ".git" topdir) gitdir)
          (borg--link-gitdir pkg)
          (let ((default-directory gitdir))
            (borg--call-git pkg "config" "core.worktree"
                            (concat "../../../lib/" pkg)))))
    (borg--call-git pkg "submodule" "absorbgitdirs" "--" (borg-worktree pkg))))

because git's version in windows is special (‘2.18.0.windows.1’):
version-to-list: Invalid version syntax: ‘2.18.0.windows.1’

So I comment that condition.

I've pushed a fix for borg--maybe-absorb-gitdir.

So I set load-prefer-newer to nil in early-init.el, but it still cannot auto-compile.

The Auto-Compile modes only **re-**compile libraries. If there isn't already a *.elc file, then they don't start compiling a library.

make build, magit lib/<package-name> and M-x borg-build is how you should build packages.

make build, magit lib/ and M-x borg-build is how you should build packages.

make is not always available in Windows. So is it possible I substitute the make script by emacs operation or elisp?

Let's say "it's complicated" instead. The "Windows Subsystem for Linux" stuff is probably the way forward. But I have no experience with that and don't use Windows, so I cannot help you there.

Yes, the Makefile isn't that complicated. Well that is just a wrapper but lib/borg/bork.mk shouldn't be hard to translate. Not sure I would want to distribute this with borg (so far you seem to be the first person who wants to use this on a Windows that doesn't somehow has make available). But if you write such a script we could certainly add it to the wiki.

from emacs.g.

I have to use Windows 7. So it's complicated. I have to seek a method without dependent on make.

make build actually run the function borg-batch-rebuild. Could this function be modifed to Command? I evaluate it, but it seems to use as a batch scripte. So that I can run it in Emcas.

After these steps, I can start from this starter-kit without depent on make stuff. So maybe I can run borg-batch-rebuild within Emacs(all starter packages available, but can not auto-compile)

1. git clone https://github.com/emacscollective/emacs.g.git .emacs.d
2. change .gitmodules file. Modify all "git@" to "https://" and all "com:" to "com/". That use https instead of ssh
3. git submodule sync
4. git submodule update --init
5. then Emacs start normaly.

I have migrated my conf to borg. Sorry to bother you. Thank you.

Congratulations 😁
