(init_from_display_pos): If POS says we're already after
an overlay string ending at POS, make sure to pop the iterator
because it will be in front of that overlay string. When POS is
ZV, we've thereby also ``processed'' overlay strings at ZV.

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. | |

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

388 MAKE VARIABLES | |
389 | |
390 You can change where the build process installs Emacs and its data | |
391 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make' | |
392 command line. For example, if you type | |
393 | |
394 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin | |
395 | |
396 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the Emacs | |
397 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not | |
398 `/usr/local/bin'. | |
399 | |
400 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set. | |
401 | |
402 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can | |
403 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin. | |
404 | |
405 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent | |
406 read-only data files that Emacs refers to while it runs; it | |
9499 | 407 defaults to /usr/local/share. We create the following |
3199 | 408 subdirectories under `datadir': |

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

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

496 CONFIGURATION BY HAND | |

501 1) Copy `./src/config.in' to `./src/config.h'. |
3199 | 502 |
503 2) Consult `./etc/MACHINES' to see what configuration name you should | |
504 use for your system. Look at the code of the `configure' script to | |
505 see which operating system and architecture description files from | |
506 `src/s' and `src/m' should be used for that configuration name. Edit | |
507 `src/config.h', and change the two `#include' directives to include | |
508 the appropriate system and architecture description files. | |
509 | |
510 2) Edit `./src/config.h' to set the right options for your system. If | |
511 you need to override any of the definitions in the s/*.h and m/*.h | |
512 files for your system and machine, do so by editing config.h, not by | |
513 changing the s/*.h and m/*.h files. Occasionally you may need to | |
514 redefine parameters used in `./lib-src/movemail.c'. | |
515 | |
7864 | 516 3) Create src/Makefile and lib-src/Makefile from the corresponding |

517 `Makefile.in' files. First copy `Makefile.in' to `Makefile.c', |
14020 | 518 then edit in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs, |
7864 | 519 and then copy the shell commands near the end of `configure' |
520 that run cpp to construct `Makefile'. | |
3199 | 521 |
7864 | 522 4) Create `Makefile' files in various other directories |
523 from the corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard, | |
524 just a matter of substitution. | |

527 program. You need version 2.0 or newer of `autoconf' to rebuild `configure'. |

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

535 `./src/paths.h' from the template file `./src/paths.in', changing |
3199 | 536 the paths to the values specified in `./Makefile'. |
537 | |
7864 | 538 2) Go to directory `./lib-src' and run `make'. This creates |
539 executables named `ctags' and `etags' and `wakeup' and `make-docfile' | |
540 and `digest-doc' and `test-distrib'. And others. | |
3199 | 541 |
7864 | 542 3) Go to directory `./src' and Run `make'. This refers to files in |
543 the `./lisp' and `./lib-src' subdirectories using names `../lisp' and | |
3199 | 544 `../lib-src'. |
545 | |
546 This creates a file `./src/emacs' which is the runnable Emacs, | |
7864 | 547 which has another name that contains a version number. |
548 Each time you do this, that version number increments in the last place. | |
3199 | 549 |
550 It also creates a file in `./etc' whose name is `DOC' followed by the | |
551 current Emacs version. This file contains documentation strings for | |
552 all the functions in Emacs. Each time you run make to make a new | |
553 emacs, a new DOC file with a new name is made. You must keep the DOC | |
554 file for an Emacs version as long as you keep using that Emacs | |
555 version. | |
556 | |
557 | |
558 INSTALLATION BY HAND | |
559 | |
9507 | 560 The steps below are done by running `make install' in the main |
561 directory of the Emacs distribution. | |
3199 | 562 |
563 1) Copy `./lisp' and its subdirectories, `./etc', and the executables | |
564 in `./lib-src' to their final destinations, as selected in `./src/paths.h'. | |
565 | |
566 Strictly speaking, not all of the executables in `./lib-src' need be copied. | |
7627 | 567 - The programs `cvtmail', `emacsserver', `fakemail', `hexl', |
7864 | 568 `movemail', `profile', `rcs2log', `timer', `vcdiff', `wakeup', |
569 and `yow' are used by Emacs; they do need to be copied. | |
570 - The programs `etags', `ctags', `emacsclient', `b2m', and `rcs-checkin' | |
3199 | 571 are intended to be run by users; they are handled below. |
9498 | 572 - The programs `make-docfile' and `test-distrib' were |
3199 | 573 used in building Emacs, and are not needed any more. |
574 - The programs `digest-doc' and `sorted-doc' convert a `DOC' file into | |
575 a file for users to read. There is no important reason to move them. | |
576 | |
577 2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in | |
578 `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/paths.el'. Note that if the | |
579 destination directory already contains a file named `dir', you | |
580 probably don't want to replace it with the `dir' file in the Emacs | |
581 distribution. Instead, you should make sure that the existing `dir' | |
582 file contains an appropriate menu entry for the Emacs info. | |
583 | |
23353 | 584 3) Copy `./src/emacs' to `/usr/local/bin', or to some other directory |
3199 | 585 in users' search paths. `./src/emacs' has an alternate name |
586 `./src/emacs-EMACSVERSION'; you may wish to make a symbolic link named | |
587 `/usr/local/bin/emacs' pointing to that alternate name, as an easy way | |
588 of installing different versions. | |
589 | |
590 You can delete `./src/temacs'. | |
591 | |
23353 | 592 4) Copy the programs `b2m', `emacsclient', `ctags', `etags', and |
7864 | 593 `rcs-checkin' from `./lib-src' to `/usr/local/bin'. These programs are |
3199 | 594 intended for users to run. |
595 | |
23353 | 596 5) Copy the man pages in `./etc' for emacs, ctags, and etags into the |
3199 | 597 appropriate man directories. |
598 | |
23353 | 599 6) The files in the `./src' subdirectory, except for `emacs', are not |
7864 | 600 used by Emacs once it is built. However, it is very desirable to keep |
601 the source on line for debugging. | |
