Lots of warnings when starting rigpa-mode

[a12l]

The first time I start Emacs after having installed rigpa and manually run M-x rigpa-mode I got these warnings in the minibuffer

The warnings don't show up after having closed down Emacs and restarted it and executing M-x rigpa-mode again.

This happens because Emacs's native compiler is more strict than the byte compiler, and catches more potential errors. These generally shouldn't cause issues in practice because, even though the bindings may not be known to be defined statically in those modules, by the time those functions actually run in your Emacs environment, all the bindings have been loaded and are available. That said, we should still fix these warnings, for good measure. It's mostly a matter of going through them one by one and adding any missing requires (while avoiding circular imports), and if that's not possible, then declaring the bindings via defvar and declare-function to tell Emacs that these bindings are known and will be found. Since this isn't actually causing anything to break, I wouldn't worry about it for now.

Thanks! That's good to hear that it shouldn't cause any issues.

Sounds like it isn't to hard? Maybe a task for an elisp beginner?

Totally fair :)
