Even better would be to entirely disable native compilation. The cached files cause noise in Tripwire output and make messes in directories Emacs should not be leaving messes in. Recently, I saw .el files being left in /tmp. Web searching found several ways to try to direct the cache to a different directory path, but that's not what I want. (Also, most of those methods failed to work as advertised.) Making the default directory a symlink to /dev/null simply moved the cached files to another directory. Thanks. -- Robert Riches spamtrap42@jacob21819.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)
