From 3c72ada8d048c6d92a6fd323f6647c8e090dd7a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Burgess Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2014 17:41:15 +0100 Subject: When computing lispdir, don't load emacs site wide init file. When computing the lispdir emacs was previously invoked with the '-q' option to avoid loading the users initialisation files, however, the site wide initialisation file was still loaded, in some cases this can cause emacs to hang, with the result that a configure can also hang. The lisp code that aclocal causes to be executed reduces the load-path list (in emacs) to empty. The load-path is used by emacs to find packages which it wants to load. Currently, if emacs tries to auto load a package during shut down, and the package is not found, then emacs will hang. This does seem like an emacs bug, but protecting against this in aclocal is simply a case of not loading the site wide initialisation file. In this patch then the '-q' option to emacs is replaced with '-Q', this has the same, the '-Q' option is similar to '-q --no-site-file --no-splash'. * doc/automake.texi (Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update explanation of emacs code used to get lispdir. * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Update emacs flags.
