Re: [Orgmode] Makefile fix?

[Miguel A. Figueroa-Villanueva]

Hello Carsten,

Yep, I guess I missed that point... I tried your idea below, but it
didn't work on my end. If it works then maybe it is a more robust
solution. However, the following code worked for me for emacs and
xemacs. Note that it assumes that the EMACS variable is either emacs
or xemacs.

# Name of your emacs binary
EMACS=emacs

# Using emacs in batch mode.
ifeq ($(EMACS),xemacs)
 BATCH=$(EMACS) -batch -q -l $(lispdir)/noutline
else
 BATCH=$(EMACS) -batch -q
endif

Hope this helps.
