Re: [AUCTeX] Help with getting AUCTeX to parse my personal *.sty files for macros?

[gojjoe]

Hi Brian,

I'm also on Windows with AUCTeX 11.90.2 and Emacs 25.3.1.

I wonder if you're missing a quote and a slash in your TeX-macro-private. Can 
you try with

(setq TeX-macro-private (quote ("./" 
"c:/Users/LilMonkey/texmf/tex/latex/local/")))

or even better, set all those variables via customize?

Cheers,
J
