22 The Emacs Lisp code for input methods for various international |
24799 | 23 character scripts is distributed in a separate tar file because it |
24 amounts to a significant fraction of the size of the distribution. | |
25 This tar file is called leim-M.N.tar.gz, with the same version number | |
26 as Emacs, and it unpacks into the directory emacs-M.N/leim. | |

24799 | 28 You should unpack leim-M.N.tar.gz into the same directory where you |
29 have previously unpacked the main Emacs distribution. It fills in the | |
30 contents of one subdirectory, which is present in the main Emacs | |
31 distribution only in dummy form. | |
32 | |
33 Once you have unpacked the Leim tar file into the Emacs source tree, | |
34 building and installing Emacs automatically installs the input method | |
35 support as well. If you have built Emacs without unpacking Leim | |
36 first, just unpack Leim, build Emacs again, and install it again. | |

341 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are | |
342 installing, and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument | |
343 you gave to the `configure' program to identify the | |
344 architecture and operating system of your machine, | |
345 like `mips-dec-ultrix' or `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since | |
346 these files are specific to the version of Emacs, | |
347 operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
348 the configuration name in the path allows you to have | |
349 several versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and | |

351 useful for sites at which different kinds of machines | |

387 MAKE VARIABLES | |
388 | |
389 You can change where the build process installs Emacs and its data | |
390 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make' | |
391 command line. For example, if you type | |
392 | |
393 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin | |
394 | |
395 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the Emacs | |
396 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not | |
397 `/usr/local/bin'. | |
398 | |
399 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set. | |
400 | |
401 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can | |
402 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin. | |
403 | |
404 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent | |
405 read-only data files that Emacs refers to while it runs; it | |
9499 | 406 defaults to /usr/local/share. We create the following |
3199 | 407 subdirectories under `datadir': |

|
408 - `emacs/VERSION/lisp', containing the Emacs Lisp library, and |
3199 | 409 - `emacs/VERSION/etc', containing the Emacs tutorial, the DOC |
410 file, and the `yow' database. | |
411 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, | |
412 like `18.59' or `19.0'. Since these files vary from one version | |
413 of Emacs to another, including the version number in the path | |
414 allows you to have several versions of Emacs installed at the | |
415 same time; this means that you don't have to make Emacs | |
416 unavailable while installing a new version. | |
417 | |
9499 | 418 `libexecdir' indicates where to put architecture-specific data files that |
419 Emacs refers to as it runs; it defaults to `/usr/local/libexec'. | |
420 We create the following subdirectories under `libexecdir': | |
3199 | 421 - `emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME', containing executable |
422 programs used by Emacs that users are not expected to run | |
423 themselves. | |
424 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, | |
425 and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument you gave to the | |
426 `configure' program to identify the architecture and operating | |
427 system of your machine, like `mips-dec-ultrix' or | |
428 `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since these files are specific to the version | |
429 of Emacs, operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
430 the configuration name in the path allows you to have several | |
431 versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and operating systems | |
432 installed at the same time; this is useful for sites at which | |
433 different kinds of machines share the file system Emacs is | |
434 installed on. | |
435 | |
436 `infodir' indicates where to put the info files distributed with | |
437 Emacs; it defaults to `/usr/local/info'. | |
438 | |
439 `mandir' indicates where to put the man pages for Emacs and its | |
440 utilities (like `etags'); it defaults to | |
441 `/usr/local/man/man1'. | |
442 | |
443 `manext' gives the extension the man pages should be installed with. | |
444 It should contain a period, followed by the appropriate | |
445 digit. It defaults to `.1'. For example given the default | |
446 values for `mandir' and `manext', the Emacs man page would be | |
447 installed as `/usr/local/man/man1/emacs.1'. | |
448 | |
449 `prefix' doesn't give a path for any specific part of Emacs; instead, | |
450 its value is used to determine the defaults for all the | |
451 architecture-independent path variables - `datadir', | |
9499 | 452 `sharedstatedir', `infodir', and `mandir'. Its default value is |
3199 | 453 `/usr/local'; the other variables add on `lib' or `man' to it |
454 by default. | |
455 | |
456 For example, suppose your site generally places GNU software | |
457 under `/usr/users/software/gnusoft' instead of `/usr/local'. | |
458 By including | |
459 `prefix=/usr/users/software/gnusoft' | |
460 in the arguments to `make', you can instruct the build process | |
461 to place all of the Emacs data files in the appropriate | |
462 directories under that path. | |
463 | |
464 `exec_prefix' serves the same purpose as `prefix', but instead | |
465 determines the default values for the architecture-dependent | |
9499 | 466 path variables - `bindir' and `libexecdir'. |
3199 | 467 |
468 The above variables serve analogous purposes in the makefiles for all | |

469 GNU software; this variable is specific to Emacs. |
3199 | 470 |
12620 | 471 `archlibdir' indicates where Emacs installs and expects the executable |
472 files and other architecture-dependent data it uses while | |
473 running. Its default value, based on `libexecdir' (which | |
474 see), is `/usr/local/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' | |
3199 | 475 (where VERSION and CONFIGURATION-NAME are as described above). |
476 | |
477 Remember that you must specify any variable values you need each time | |
478 you run `make' in the top directory. If you run `make' once to build | |
479 emacs, test it, and then run `make' again to install the files, you | |
480 must provide the same variable settings each time. To make the | |
481 settings persist, you can edit them into the `Makefile' in the top | |
482 directory, but be aware that running the `configure' program erases | |
483 `Makefile' and rebuilds it from `Makefile.in'. | |

500 1) Copy `./src/config.in' to `./src/config.h'. |
3199 | 501 |
502 2) Consult `./etc/MACHINES' to see what configuration name you should | |
503 use for your system. Look at the code of the `configure' script to | |
504 see which operating system and architecture description files from | |
505 `src/s' and `src/m' should be used for that configuration name. Edit | |
506 `src/config.h', and change the two `#include' directives to include | |
507 the appropriate system and architecture description files. | |
508 | |
509 2) Edit `./src/config.h' to set the right options for your system. If | |
510 you need to override any of the definitions in the s/*.h and m/*.h | |
511 files for your system and machine, do so by editing config.h, not by | |
512 changing the s/*.h and m/*.h files. Occasionally you may need to | |
513 redefine parameters used in `./lib-src/movemail.c'. | |
514 | |
7864 | 515 3) Create src/Makefile and lib-src/Makefile from the corresponding |

516 `Makefile.in' files. First copy `Makefile.in' to `Makefile.c', |
14020 | 517 then edit in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs, |
7864 | 518 and then copy the shell commands near the end of `configure' |
519 that run cpp to construct `Makefile'. | |

7864 | 521 4) Create `Makefile' files in various other directories |
522 from the corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard, | |
523 just a matter of substitution. | |

528 BUILDING GNU EMACS BY HAND | |
529 | |
9507 | 530 Once Emacs is configured, running `make' in the top directory performs |
531 the following steps. | |
3199 | 532 |
533 1) Run `make src/paths.h' in the top directory. This produces | |

534 `./src/paths.h' from the template file `./src/paths.in', changing |
3199 | 535 the paths to the values specified in `./Makefile'. |
536 | |
7864 | 537 2) Go to directory `./lib-src' and run `make'. This creates |
538 executables named `ctags' and `etags' and `wakeup' and `make-docfile' | |
539 and `digest-doc' and `test-distrib'. And others. | |
3199 | 540 |
7864 | 541 3) Go to directory `./src' and Run `make'. This refers to files in |
542 the `./lisp' and `./lib-src' subdirectories using names `../lisp' and | |
3199 | 543 `../lib-src'. |
544 | |
545 This creates a file `./src/emacs' which is the runnable Emacs, | |
7864 | 546 which has another name that contains a version number. |
547 Each time you do this, that version number increments in the last place. | |
3199 | 548 |
549 It also creates a file in `./etc' whose name is `DOC' followed by the | |
550 current Emacs version. This file contains documentation strings for | |
551 all the functions in Emacs. Each time you run make to make a new | |
552 emacs, a new DOC file with a new name is made. You must keep the DOC | |
553 file for an Emacs version as long as you keep using that Emacs | |
554 version. | |
555 | |
556 | |
557 INSTALLATION BY HAND | |
558 | |
9507 | 559 The steps below are done by running `make install' in the main |
560 directory of the Emacs distribution. | |
3199 | 561 |
562 1) Copy `./lisp' and its subdirectories, `./etc', and the executables | |
563 in `./lib-src' to their final destinations, as selected in `./src/paths.h'. | |
564 | |
565 Strictly speaking, not all of the executables in `./lib-src' need be copied. | |
7627 | 566 - The programs `cvtmail', `emacsserver', `fakemail', `hexl', |
7864 | 567 `movemail', `profile', `rcs2log', `timer', `vcdiff', `wakeup', |
568 and `yow' are used by Emacs; they do need to be copied. | |
569 - The programs `etags', `ctags', `emacsclient', `b2m', and `rcs-checkin' | |
3199 | 570 are intended to be run by users; they are handled below. |
9498 | 571 - The programs `make-docfile' and `test-distrib' were |
3199 | 572 used in building Emacs, and are not needed any more. |
573 - The programs `digest-doc' and `sorted-doc' convert a `DOC' file into | |
574 a file for users to read. There is no important reason to move them. | |

576 2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in | |
577 `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/paths.el'. Note that if the | |
578 destination directory already contains a file named `dir', you | |
579 probably don't want to replace it with the `dir' file in the Emacs | |
580 distribution. Instead, you should make sure that the existing `dir' | |
581 file contains an appropriate menu entry for the Emacs info. | |
582 | |
23353 | 583 3) Copy `./src/emacs' to `/usr/local/bin', or to some other directory |
3199 | 584 in users' search paths. `./src/emacs' has an alternate name |
585 `./src/emacs-EMACSVERSION'; you may wish to make a symbolic link named | |
586 `/usr/local/bin/emacs' pointing to that alternate name, as an easy way | |
587 of installing different versions. | |
588 | |
589 You can delete `./src/temacs'. | |
590 | |
23353 | 591 4) Copy the programs `b2m', `emacsclient', `ctags', `etags', and |
7864 | 592 `rcs-checkin' from `./lib-src' to `/usr/local/bin'. These programs are |
3199 | 593 intended for users to run. |
594 | |
23353 | 595 5) Copy the man pages in `./etc' for emacs, ctags, and etags into the |
3199 | 596 appropriate man directories. |
597 | |
23353 | 598 6) The files in the `./src' subdirectory, except for `emacs', are not |
7864 | 599 used by Emacs once it is built. However, it is very desirable to keep |
