We have following line in automake-1.12.1/lib/elisp-comp.
73 mkdir $tempdir
74 cp "$@" $tempdir
75
76 (
77 cd $tempdir
78 echo "(setq load-path (cons nil load-path))" > script
79 $EMACS -batch -q -l script -f batch-byte-compile *.el || exit $?
80 mv *.elc ..
81 ) || exit $?
82
83 (exit 0); exit 0
It seems to me the intention of line 78 is to set load-path
to add default directory on top of existing load-path.
This 'script' is OK if the file to compile is only one in the
directory.
But if some files are in the directory there and we will
compile file by file on the same directory, there may be a
possibility that some files load another file in the same
directory. In that case this 'script' fails to read such ones.
I do have problem compiling *.el files with tc-2.3.1 (svn version)
Following patch fixes this type of problem, thanks a lot.
By the way, the same patch was once proposed as
http://osdir.com/ml/sysutils.automake.patches/2003-01/msg00004.html
and fix seems to have made, but real line was dropped with
unknown reason.
