Hello, I use vertico insteady of ivy

I'm going to assume that you don't have the hydra' andivy' features in your Emacs installation, hence the errors in compiling some of the extra NotDeft features. That seems correct as long as the Make rule itself doesn't fail early, so that the Emacs Lisp sources that can be compiled for your Emacs environment do get compiled.

If you prefer to use Vertico then you probably don't care about these features not being available.

I did have both ivy and hydra installed (and, actually, I use and load them from my init.el file). I solved the issue by editing the Makefile as instructed: EMACS_BATCH := emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs.d/init.el.

(I wonder if this could be pointed out in the readme).

I did have both ivy and hydra installed (and, actually, I use and load them from my init.el file). I solved the issue by editing the Makefile as instructed: EMACS_BATCH := emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs.d/init.el.

(I wonder if this could be pointed out in the readme).

I tried the above and got the following error:

I am sorry I cannot really help you: I am not using notdeft anymore, as I found other options that suit my workflow better.

[hasu]

From all the "Compiling" messages it looks like the installation has already completed, but then something happens that results in a non-zero exit code for the emacs process.

I don't know what that something would be, since notdeft-install-bytecode is the last specified function to call.

Is there perhaps something in your Emacs initialization that fails in --batch mode? Perhaps something to do with ‘initial-buffer-choice’?

If the installation already completed then perhaps there is nothing further to do.

Or you could try running emacs without the --batch option:

emacs -L . -l notdeft-install -f notdeft-install-autoloads -f notdeft-install-bytecode
