Building and Installing Emacs from Bazaar
|
||
|
||
Building Emacs from Bazaar requires some tools that are not needed
|
||
when building from a release. You will need:
|
||
|
||
autoconf - at least the version specified near the start of
|
||
configure.in (in the AC_PREREQ command).
|
||
automake - we recommend at least version 1.11.
|
||
makeinfo - not strictly necessary, but highly recommended, so that
|
||
you can build the manuals.
|
||
|
||
The `autogen.sh' script can help you figure out if you have the
|
||
necessary tools.
|
||
|
||
The first time you build, there are a couple of extra steps.
|
||
First, generate the `configure' script and some related files:
|
||
|
||
$ ./autogen.sh
|
||
|
||
(or you can just run `autoreconf -i -I m4').
|
||
|
||
You can then configure your build (use `./configure --help' to see
|
||
options you can set):
|
||
|
||
$ ./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. 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.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
archives of the emacs-buildstatus, emacs-devel, and bug-gnu-emacs
|
||
mailing lists) before reporting such problems. In most cases, the
|
||
problem is known about and is just waiting for someone to fix it.
|
||
This is especially true for Lisp compilation errors, which are almost
|
||
never platform-specific.
