If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please read the
Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information it needs to have.
There are three ways to read the Bugs section.
You can read the read the Bugs section of the manual from inside Emacs.
Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info, then m Emacs RET to get to the
Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET to get to the section on bugs.
Or you can use the standalone Info program in a like manner.
(Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution, not part of the
Emacs distribution.)
(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS. But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.
Printed copies of the Emacs manual can be purchased from the Free
Software Foundation's online store at <http://shop.fsf.org/>.
(2) With Info. Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs. Or use standalone Info in
a like manner. (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)
If necessary, you can read the manual without an info program:
(3) By hand. Do
cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs, Node: Bugs,"
Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.

subdirectories of lisp/, e.g. mh-e/ and calendar/) will need to be
updated to reflect new autoloaded functions. If you see errors (rather
than warnings) about undefined lisp functions during compilation, that
may be the reason. Another symptom may be an error saying that
"loaddefs.el" could not be found; this is due to a change in the way
loaddefs.el was handled in version control, and should only happen
once, for users that are updating old sources. Finally, sometimes
there can be build failures related to *loaddefs.el (e.g. "required
feature `esh-groups' was not provided"). In that case, follow the

applicable to those systems as well.
Questions, requests, and bug reports about the Bazaar versions of Emacs
should be sent to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org rather than gnu.emacs.help.
Ideally, use M-x report-emacs-bug RET.
Because the Bazaar version of Emacs is a work in progress, it will
sometimes fail to build. Please wait a day or so (and check the bug
and development mailing list archives) before reporting such problems.
