Running Sonic Pi from Doom Emacs

[Martin]

@Bubo

how have you defined paths in your general configuration file? I corrected the sonic-pi.el file according to your indications but wasn’t able to boot anything.

This is what I have in my ~/.doom.d/config.el:

(use-package sonic-pi
  :init
    (setq sonic-pi-path "~/bin/sp32/sonic-pi/")
  )

Do not be confused by that, I have a self-compiled version 3.2 under Linux in ~/bin/sp32/

Additionally you will need in ~/.doom.d/package.el:

(package! sonic-pi
  :recipe (:host github :repo "repl-electric/sonic-pi.el"))

As to the missing elc file:

@Bubo

Actually, something might be really wrong with my installation because I wasn’t able to remove the sonic-pi.elc file you mentioned. It simply wasn’t there, as well as the /build/sonic-pi folder.

I am by no means expert concerning doom; I don’t know about the logic of the internal doom optimisation features but I guess, this is what’s it about.

Did the doom installation run through without errors? Then I guess you should have something like that in .emacs.d/.local:

repos does contain everything from (m)elpa (such as the package sonic-pi) and build contains 1. links to the files in repos (e. g. to sonic-pi.Well, I am by no means expert concerning doomel) and lisp compiled *.elc-files. This is obviously a result of doom’s way to optimize package loading and startup time.

I am afraid I can’t say more about that …
