Building and Installing Emacs from CVS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
|
|
|
|
|
byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository.
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap"
|
|
|
|
|
instead of just "make":
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
$ make bootstrap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuilt
|
|
|
|
|
before it builds the final Emacs binary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS
|
|
|
|
|
update. Unless there are problems, we suggest the following
|
|
|
|
|
procedure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd lisp
|
|
|
|
|
$ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd ..
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
|
|
|
|
|
of "make" in the last command.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the above procedure fails, try "make bootstrap".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the
|
|
|
|
|
platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat,
|
|
|
|
|
etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is
|
|
|
|
|
applicable to those systems as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that "make bootstrap" overwrites some files that are under CVS
|
|
|
|
|
control, such as lisp/loaddefs.el. This could produce CVS conflicts
|
|
|
|
|
next time that you resync with the CVS. If you see such conflicts,
|
|
|
|
|
overwrite your local copy of the file with the clean version from the
|
|
|
|
|
CVS repository. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cvs update -C lisp/loaddefs.el
|
|

Questions, requests, and bug reports about the CVS versions of Emacs

|
|
|
should be sent to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org rather than gnu.emacs.help
|
|
|
|
|
or gnu.emacs.bug. Ideally, use M-x report-emacs-bug RET which will
|
|
|
|
|
send it to the proper place.
