Re: [O] Windows (Cygwin) make: Works, but org-release(void)

[William Crandall]

Thanks Jonathan!

Yes, I had commented out =(require 'org-install)= .

I'd taken the FAQ instructions for ELPA installations to apply 
more broadly than they do:

;; Functionality of Org-mode's org-install.el is supplanted by
;; Package Manager's org-autoloads.el. Since Package Manager
;; autoloads Org-mode, the following line (require 'org-install) in
;; your .emacs is no longer required and can be safely removed.
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html 


Now M-x org-version gives (correctly):

   Org-mode version 7.8.11 (release_7.8.11-16-ge67734
   @ g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/org-7.8.11-dev/lisp/)

Thanks again!

Hello,

I haven't had any issues with Org and Cygwin lately.  I did however
come across this issue on a fresh install of Debian last week.

I was able to resolve it by adding =(require 'org-install)= to the
initialization (or calling it manually from the *scratch* buffer)
before checking the version.

Do you have (require 'org-install) in your initialization file
already?  And if not does it fix the issue?

Regards,

Jonathan
