I configured emacs org-mode on a Mac, working properly, having my org files and MobileOrg file within my DropBox folder ( ~/DropBox/ ), and detailed as follows:
;; Set to the location of your Org files on your local system
(setq org-directory "~/DropBox/org")
;; Set to the name of the file where new notes will be stored
(setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull "~/DropBox/org/flagged.org")
;; Set to <your Dropbox root directory>/MobileOrg.
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/MobileOrg")
Now, I will like to get my emacs setup working properly on my Windows box. I have been able to get it working in terms of reading my .emacs file and emacs.d folder, shared through symlink configuration.
Everything seems to be working properly, except that when I want to execute org-mobile-pull or org-mobile-push on Windows, I get the following error: "Variable org-mobile-directory
must point to an existing directory "
The problem seems to be that emacs isn't configured to read or point to the org-mobile directory , per the paths set in .emacs (eg. = "~/DropBox/ ...........").
I found some info on the web, which pointed to setting a parameter on .emacs so that it identified while running on Windows, that it should look into a directory structure.
Now, how should I accomplish this appropriately?
I found some examples of:
;;On Windows (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt) (progn (setq default-directory "C:\Usuarios/User/") ) )
But it doesn't seem to be doing the job.
Thanks for any help.
i suspect the ~/ way of writing a location on your home directory might be part of the issue here - windows wouldn't support that. – Journeyman Geek – 2012-05-29T01:17:28.393
Thanks, should I define the paths for Windows and Mac separately? where could I learn more on this? – orlando lopez – 2012-05-29T11:45:28.427
After doing an evaluation of (expand-file-name "~/Dropbox/MobileOrg") , I am getting the correct path on my Windows machine, which is "c:/Users/User/Dropbox/MobileOrg" . Any hints, appreciated. – orlando lopez – 2012-05-29T17:30:50.420
