"Anything" package requires w3m command...

[Sébastien Vauban]

Hi,

I want to re-use `anything', being such a day-to-day helper, with its
fantastic extra sources.

But, if I don't have W3m installed, I get this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Install w3m command in `exec-path' or set 
`w3m-command' variable correctly")
  signal(error ("Install w3m command in `exec-path' or set `w3m-command' 
variable correctly"))
  error("Install w3m command in `exec-path' or set `w3m-command' variable 
correctly")
  (progn (error "Install w3m command in `exec-path' or set `w3m-command' 
variable correctly"))
  (if (not (stringp w3m-command)) (progn (error "Install w3m command in 
`exec-path' or set `w3m-command' variable correctly")))
  (when (not (stringp w3m-command)) (error "Install w3m command in `exec-path' 
or set `w3m-command' variable correctly"))

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

OK. The workaround, for me, is just: install Cygwin (I'm now forced on
windows) and w3m from it, and everything will run smoothly.

Though, as my .emacs file is used by other colleagues, I'd like not having to
impose that constraint. I need to have a config that just continues if w3m is
not there.

I've tried everything to understand from which sources this message was
coming. It seems to be from `anything-c-source-locate', but I don't understand
what to do to disable it...

My current config:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (require 'anything)

  ;; select anything
  (global-set-key (kbd "<f3>") 'anything)

  ;; (require 'anything-config)  ; error!
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The source that I really, really, really miss -- was it just one -- is
`anything-c-source-locate', and is not in the "base" anything package...

Anyone can help, please?

Best regards,
  Seb
