11935 | 1 Building and Installing Emacs |
2 on Windows NT and Windows 95 | |
3 | |
4 You need a compiler package to build and install Emacs on NT or Win95. | |
5 If you don't have one, precompiled versions are available in | |
6 ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/<version>. | |
7 | |
8 Configuring: | |
9 | |
10 (1) In previous versions, you needed to edit makefile.def | |
11 to reflect the compiler package that you are using. You should no | |
12 longer have to do this if you have defined the INCLUDE and LIB | |
13 environment variables, as is customary for use with Windows compilers. | |

21 and use the value of the environment variable instead.) Note |
11935 | 22 that if it is not installed in the directory in which it is built, |
23 the ~16 MB of lisp files will be copied into the installation directory. | |
24 | |
25 Also, makefile.def is sometimes unpacked read-only; use | |
26 | |
27 > attrib -r makefile.def | |
28 | |
29 to make it writable. | |
30 | |
31 Building: | |
32 | |
33 (3) The target to compile the sources is "all", and is recursive starting | |
34 one directory up. The makefiles for the NT port are in files named | |
35 "makefile.nt". To get things started, type in this directory: | |
36 | |
37 > nmake -f makefile.nt all | |
38 | |
39 or use the ebuild.bat file. | |
40 | |
41 When the files are compiled, you will see some warning messages declaring | |
42 that some functions don't return a value, or that some data conversions | |
43 will be lossy, etc. You can safely ignore these messages. The warnings | |
44 may be fixed in the main FSF source at some point, but until then we | |
45 will just live with them. | |

47 NOTE: You should not have to edit src\paths.h to get Emacs to run |
11935 | 48 correctly. All of the variables in src\paths.h are configured |
49 during start up using the nt\emacs.bat file (which gets installed | |
50 as bin\emacs.bat -- see below). | |

52 Installing: | |
53 | |
54 (4) Currently, Emacs requires a number of environment variables to be set | |
55 for it to run correctly. A batch file, emacs.bat, is provided that | |

63 From this directory, type: |
11935 | 64 |
65 > nmake -f makefile.nt install | |
66 | |
67 or use the install.bat file. | |
68 | |
69 (6) Create the Emacs startup file. Under Unix, this file is .emacs; | |
70 under NT and Win95, this files is _emacs. (If you would like to | |
71 use a .emacs file that, for example, you share with a Unix version | |
72 of Emacs, you can invoke Emacs with the -l option to specify the | |
73 .emacs file that you would like to load.) Note that Emacs requires | |
74 the environment variable HOME to be set in order for it to locate the | |
75 _emacs file. Ideally, HOME should not be set in the emacs.bat file | |
76 as it will be different for each user. (HOME could be set, | |
77 for example, in the System panel of the Control Panel). | |

81 If you would like to resize the command window that Emacs uses, | |
82 or change the font or colors, click on the program manager icon | |
83 to start Emacs. Change the settings using the "-" menu in the upper | |
84 left hand corner of the window, making sure to select the "Save" | |
85 options in the dialog boxes as you do so. Exit Emacs and restart. |
