Re: [AUCTeX] Help with getting AUCTeX to parse my personal *.sty files for macros?

[Brian Merchant]

Hi J,

I have AUCTeX 12.1.0 and Emacs 25.3.1, with spacemacs on top.

I tried out your suggestion (setq TeX-macro-private (quote ("./" "c:/Users/LilMonkey/texmf/tex/latex/local/"))), but no luck :(

Can you explain what you mean by "set all those variables via customize"? Do you mean using M-x customize? If yes, I tried that too, but with no luck.

Might you have other suggestions?

Kind regards,

Brian

Hi Brian,

I'm also on Windows with AUCTeX 11.90.2 and Emacs 25.3.1.

I wonder if you're missing a quote and a slash in your TeX-macro-private. Can you try with

(setq TeX-macro-private (quote ("./" "c:/Users/LilMonkey/texmf/tex/latex/local/")))

or even better, set all those variables via customize?

Cheers,
J
