118 On some systems, particularly on GNU/Linux, these libraries may |
36752 | 119 already be present or available as additional packages. Note that if |
36753 | 120 there is a separate `dev' or `devel' package, for use at compilation |
121 time rather than run time, you will need that as well as the | |
122 corresponding run time package; typically the dev package will | |
123 contain header files and a library archive. Otherwise, you can | |
124 download and build libraries from sources. None of them are vital for | |
125 running Emacs; however, note that Emacs will not be able to use | |
126 colored icons in the toolbar if XPM support is not compiled in. | |

526 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are | |

528 you gave to the `configure' program to identify the | |
529 architecture and operating system of your machine, | |

531 these files are specific to the version of Emacs, | |

533 the configuration name in the path allows you to have | |
534 several versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and | |

586 MAKE VARIABLES | |
587 | |
588 You can change where the build process installs Emacs and its data | |
589 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make' | |
590 command line. For example, if you type | |
591 | |
592 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin | |
593 | |
594 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the Emacs | |
595 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not | |
596 `/usr/local/bin'. | |
597 | |
598 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set. | |
599 | |
600 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can | |
601 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin. | |
602 | |
603 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent | |
604 read-only data files that Emacs refers to while it runs; it | |
9499 | 605 defaults to /usr/local/share. We create the following |
3199 | 606 subdirectories under `datadir': |

607 - `emacs/VERSION/lisp', containing the Emacs Lisp library, and |
3199 | 608 - `emacs/VERSION/etc', containing the Emacs tutorial, the DOC |
609 file, and the `yow' database. | |
610 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, | |
611 like `18.59' or `19.0'. Since these files vary from one version | |
612 of Emacs to another, including the version number in the path | |
613 allows you to have several versions of Emacs installed at the | |
614 same time; this means that you don't have to make Emacs | |
615 unavailable while installing a new version. | |
616 | |
9499 | 617 `libexecdir' indicates where to put architecture-specific data files that |
618 Emacs refers to as it runs; it defaults to `/usr/local/libexec'. | |
619 We create the following subdirectories under `libexecdir': | |
3199 | 620 - `emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME', containing executable |
621 programs used by Emacs that users are not expected to run | |

622 themselves. |
3199 | 623 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, |
624 and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument you gave to the | |
625 `configure' program to identify the architecture and operating | |
626 system of your machine, like `mips-dec-ultrix' or | |
627 `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since these files are specific to the version | |
628 of Emacs, operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
629 the configuration name in the path allows you to have several | |
630 versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and operating systems | |
631 installed at the same time; this is useful for sites at which | |
632 different kinds of machines share the file system Emacs is | |
633 installed on. | |
634 | |
635 `infodir' indicates where to put the info files distributed with | |

636 Emacs; it defaults to `/usr/local/share/info'. |
3199 | 637 |
638 `mandir' indicates where to put the man pages for Emacs and its | |
639 utilities (like `etags'); it defaults to | |
640 `/usr/local/man/man1'. | |
641 | |
642 `manext' gives the extension the man pages should be installed with. | |
643 It should contain a period, followed by the appropriate | |
644 digit. It defaults to `.1'. For example given the default | |
645 values for `mandir' and `manext', the Emacs man page would be | |
646 installed as `/usr/local/man/man1/emacs.1'. | |
647 | |
648 `prefix' doesn't give a path for any specific part of Emacs; instead, | |
649 its value is used to determine the defaults for all the | |
650 architecture-independent path variables - `datadir', | |
9499 | 651 `sharedstatedir', `infodir', and `mandir'. Its default value is |
3199 | 652 `/usr/local'; the other variables add on `lib' or `man' to it |
653 by default. | |
654 | |
655 For example, suppose your site generally places GNU software | |
656 under `/usr/users/software/gnusoft' instead of `/usr/local'. | |
657 By including | |
658 `prefix=/usr/users/software/gnusoft' | |
659 in the arguments to `make', you can instruct the build process | |
660 to place all of the Emacs data files in the appropriate | |
661 directories under that path. | |
662 | |
663 `exec_prefix' serves the same purpose as `prefix', but instead | |
664 determines the default values for the architecture-dependent | |
9499 | 665 path variables - `bindir' and `libexecdir'. |
3199 | 666 |
667 The above variables serve analogous purposes in the makefiles for all | |

668 GNU software; this variable is specific to Emacs. |
3199 | 669 |
12620 | 670 `archlibdir' indicates where Emacs installs and expects the executable |
671 files and other architecture-dependent data it uses while | |
672 running. Its default value, based on `libexecdir' (which | |
673 see), is `/usr/local/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' | |
3199 | 674 (where VERSION and CONFIGURATION-NAME are as described above). |
675 | |
676 Remember that you must specify any variable values you need each time | |
677 you run `make' in the top directory. If you run `make' once to build | |
678 emacs, test it, and then run `make' again to install the files, you | |
679 must provide the same variable settings each time. To make the | |
680 settings persist, you can edit them into the `Makefile' in the top | |
681 directory, but be aware that running the `configure' program erases | |
682 `Makefile' and rebuilds it from `Makefile.in'. | |

694 CONFIGURATION BY HAND | |
695 | |
7864 | 696 Instead of running the `configure' program, you have to perform the |

699 1) Copy `./src/config.in' to `./src/config.h'. |
3199 | 700 |
701 2) Consult `./etc/MACHINES' to see what configuration name you should | |
702 use for your system. Look at the code of the `configure' script to | |
703 see which operating system and architecture description files from | |
704 `src/s' and `src/m' should be used for that configuration name. Edit | |
705 `src/config.h', and change the two `#include' directives to include | |
706 the appropriate system and architecture description files. | |
707 | |
708 2) Edit `./src/config.h' to set the right options for your system. If | |
709 you need to override any of the definitions in the s/*.h and m/*.h | |
710 files for your system and machine, do so by editing config.h, not by | |
711 changing the s/*.h and m/*.h files. Occasionally you may need to | |
712 redefine parameters used in `./lib-src/movemail.c'. | |
713 | |
7864 | 714 3) Create src/Makefile and lib-src/Makefile from the corresponding |

715 `Makefile.in' files. First copy `Makefile.in' to `Makefile.c', |
14020 | 716 then edit in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs, |
7864 | 717 and then copy the shell commands near the end of `configure' |
718 that run cpp to construct `Makefile'. | |
3199 | 719 |
7864 | 720 4) Create `Makefile' files in various other directories |
721 from the corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard, | |
722 just a matter of substitution. | |

728 BUILDING GNU EMACS BY HAND | |
729 | |
9507 | 730 Once Emacs is configured, running `make' in the top directory performs |
731 the following steps. | |
3199 | 732 |
733 1) Run `make src/paths.h' in the top directory. This produces | |

734 `./src/paths.h' from the template file `./src/paths.in', changing |
3199 | 735 the paths to the values specified in `./Makefile'. |
736 | |
7864 | 737 2) Go to directory `./lib-src' and run `make'. This creates |
77155 | 738 executables named `ctags' and `etags' and `make-docfile' and |
739 `digest-doc' and `test-distrib'. And others. | |
3199 | 740 |
7864 | 741 3) Go to directory `./src' and Run `make'. This refers to files in |
742 the `./lisp' and `./lib-src' subdirectories using names `../lisp' and | |
3199 | 743 `../lib-src'. |
744 | |
745 This creates a file `./src/emacs' which is the runnable Emacs, | |
7864 | 746 which has another name that contains a version number. |
747 Each time you do this, that version number increments in the last place. | |
3199 | 748 |
749 It also creates a file in `./etc' whose name is `DOC' followed by the | |
750 current Emacs version. This file contains documentation strings for | |
751 all the functions in Emacs. Each time you run make to make a new | |
752 emacs, a new DOC file with a new name is made. You must keep the DOC | |
753 file for an Emacs version as long as you keep using that Emacs | |
754 version. | |
755 | |
756 | |
757 INSTALLATION BY HAND | |
758 | |
9507 | 759 The steps below are done by running `make install' in the main |

766 - The programs `cvtmail', `fakemail', `hexl', |
77155 | 767 `movemail', `profile', `rcs2log', and `vcdiff' are used by Emacs; |
768 they do need to be copied. | |
7864 | 769 - The programs `etags', `ctags', `emacsclient', `b2m', and `rcs-checkin' |
3199 | 770 are intended to be run by users; they are handled below. |
9498 | 771 - The programs `make-docfile' and `test-distrib' were |
3199 | 772 used in building Emacs, and are not needed any more. |
773 - The programs `digest-doc' and `sorted-doc' convert a `DOC' file into | |
774 a file for users to read. There is no important reason to move them. | |
775 | |
776 2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in | |
777 `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/paths.el'. Note that if the | |
778 destination directory already contains a file named `dir', you | |
779 probably don't want to replace it with the `dir' file in the Emacs | |
780 distribution. Instead, you should make sure that the existing `dir' | |
781 file contains an appropriate menu entry for the Emacs info. | |

785 `./src/emacs-EMACSVERSION'; you may wish to make a symbolic link named | |
786 `/usr/local/bin/emacs' pointing to that alternate name, as an easy way | |
787 of installing different versions. | |
788 | |
789 You can delete `./src/temacs'. | |

7864 | 792 `rcs-checkin' from `./lib-src' to `/usr/local/bin'. These programs are |
3199 | 793 intended for users to run. |
