RussianQuestion
I have an org-mode document that I want to convert to open Document format. When I try to do this (ctrl+c+e+o) I get an error message:
Executeable "zip" needed for creating OpenDocument files. Aborting.
I have p7zip installed on my machine but I don't know how to tell emacs it is there. I'm not sure what org-mode want to do so I'm not sure what to configure in .emacs.
Thanks
Solution
Your p7zip executable must be in Emacs exec-path variable, so that Emacs can find it.
Also, the executable must be called "zip" since it is hard-coded in the org-odt-init-outfile function.
So check the setting of exec-path first to make sure it includes the location of your zip executable.
`M-x customize-variable RET exec-path RET`
OTHER TIPS
You need Info-ZIP. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-07/msg00485.html
p7zip may not be compatible with zip command-line utility, if I go by this post: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/forums/forum/45797/topic/1521207?message=3786349. So, I think, p7zip may not be a viable option here.
Do not need p7zip or info-zip external programs, Emacs deps ship with a zip program: minizip. (for more information, see Easiest way to install Emacs Windows support libraries)
The some situations we need to be known:
minizipdoes not support recursive zipziphad been hard-coded inox-odt.elminizip's options is not compatible with `zip'
So I generated a zip.bat batch in elisp then add the path of zip.bat to %PATH% (for org export to odt) and exec-path (for zip files, dired-do-compress-to)
zip.bat:
@echo off

goto :end

if exist "%%i/*" (

call :loop %%i/%%f

call :zip %%i
)
)
:end

The simple way to let zip works is to copy the content of zip.bat into a file named zip.bat and put that file under exec-path. To see more More Reasonable Emacs: zip program, make-zip-bat support 7-Zip too.
