Building and Installing Emacs from Bazaar
|
||
|
||
If this is the first time you go through it, you'll need to configure
|
||
before bootstrapping:
|
||
|
||
$ ./configure
|
||
|
||
Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
|
||
byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in Bazaar. Therefore, to
|
||
build from Bazaar you must run "make bootstrap" instead of just "make":
|
||
|
||
$ bzr pull
|
||
$ make bootstrap
|
||
|
||
Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every
|
||
update from Bazaar. "make" should work in 90% of the cases and be
|
||
much quicker.
|
||
|
||
$ make
|
||
|
||
(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
|
||
of "make" in the last command.)
|
||
|
||
Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" (and similar automatically
|
||
generated files, such as esh-groups.el, and *-loaddefs.el in some
|
||
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
|
||
instructions below.
|
||
|
||
To update loaddefs.el (and similar files), do:
|
||
|
||
$ cd lisp
|
||
$ make autoloads
|
||
|
||
If either of the above partial procedures fails, try "make bootstrap".
|
||
If CPU time is not an issue, the most thorough way to rebuild, and
|
||
avoid any spurious problems, is always to use this method.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
In most cases, the problem is known about and is just waiting for
|
||
someone to fix it.
