  • I tried using these hooks and it is still adding the eln-cache file. Somehow "/.emacs.d/eln-cache/" always gets added as the first entry, which means that all the eln files end up going there. Commented Feb 8, 2022 at 16:01
  • And if I try setting it directly as with (setq native-comp-eln-load-path `(,(expand-file-name (convert-standard-filename ".local/temp/cache/eln-cache/")) "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Frameworks/native-lisp/")) the value after startup is ("/Users/roambot/.emacs.d/eln-cache/" "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Frameworks/native-lisp/"). So it is clearly getting reset in the process in a way that ignores both emacs-startup-hook and after-init-hook (both of which I've tried). Commented Feb 8, 2022 at 16:11
  • You can't stop it from adding to the path at start-up; as I've indicated, that behaviour is hard-coded. But you can act shortly after that and make any manipulations that you wish to. That said, I just tried your code in 28.0.90 and can't replicate your problem -- in emacs-startup-hook I see your modified path. Commented Feb 8, 2022 at 21:17
  • Actually I'd misread the sequencing. It doesn't explain your problem, but it meant my answer was misleading. I've updated it. Commented Feb 8, 2022 at 21:34
