Emacs for Windows
|
||
|
||
This README file describes how to dump a bare precompiled version of GNU
|
||
Emacs for Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows 95/98/Me. This distribution
|
||
supplements the standard dumped precompiled distribution of Emacs, which
|
||
you can download from:
|
||
|
||
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/
|
||
|
||
If you do not have the "bin" distribution, then you will need to
|
||
download it before you can use this undumped version. Also note that
|
||
you should only need to dump Emacs yourself if you want to dump Emacs
|
||
with more elisp files than are included normally, or to rebuild Emacs
|
||
after patching one of the elisp files that is preloaded.
|
||
|
||
The dumping process consists of running a bare Emacs, loading up a
|
||
number of general elisp files, and then creating a new Emacs executable
|
||
preinitialized and ready to run. In the precompiled distributions,
|
||
Emacs has already been dumped with the standard configuration.
|
||
|
||
To dump Emacs, unpack this distribution into the directory created by
|
||
unpacking the corresponding standard precompiled distribution. To
|
||
verify that you unpacked in the proper place, check to make sure that
|
||
you now have a temacs.exe file in the bin directory.
|
||
|
||
Once you have unpacked this distribution, cd into the bin directory and
|
||
run dump.bat. This will produce a new bin\emacs.exe executable for you
|
||
to use (the original one is renamed to emacs.exe.orig; this is not
|
||
overwritten if you run dump more than once).
|
||
|
||
For more information about running Emacs, read the README.W32 file that
|
||
came with the standard dumped precompiled distribution. If you have
|
||
problems with Emacs, including problems with dumping, send email to
|
||
"help-emacs-windows@gnu.org".
|
||
|
||
Enjoy!
