19 You may encounter bugs in this release. If you do, please report
|
|
20 them; your bug reports are valuable contributions to the FSF, since
|
|
21 they allow us to notice and fix problems on machines we don't have, or
|
|
22 in code we don't use often. Please send bug reports for released
|
|
23 versions of Emacs sent to the mailing list bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.
|
|
24 Please send bug reports for pretest versions of Emacs, and versions
|
|
25 from the Savannah.gnu.org repository, to emacs-pretest-bugs@gnu.org.

|
27 See the "Bugs" section of the Emacs manual for more information on how
|
|
28 to report bugs. (The file `BUGS' in this directory explains how you
|
|
29 can find and read that section using the Info files that come with
|
|
30 Emacs.) See `etc/MAILINGLISTS' for more information on mailing lists
|
|
31 relating to GNU packages.

33 The `etc' subdirectory contains several other files, named in capital
|
|
34 letters, which you might consider looking at when installing GNU
|
|
35 Emacs.
|
25856
|
36
|
|
37 The file `configure' is a shell script to acclimate Emacs to the
|
|
38 oddities of your processor and operating system. It creates the file
|
|
39 `Makefile' (a script for the `make' program), which automates the
|
|
40 process of building and installing Emacs. See INSTALL for more
|
|
41 detailed information.
|
|
42
|
|
43 The file `configure.in' is the input used by the autoconf program to
|
36268
|
44 construct the `configure' script. Since Emacs has some configuration
|
|
45 requirements that autoconf can't meet directly, and for historical
|
|
46 reasons, `configure.in' uses an unholy marriage of custom-baked
|
|
47 configuration code and autoconf macros. If you want to rebuild
|
|
48 `configure' from `configure.in', you will need to install a recent
|
|
49 version of autoconf and GNU m4.

51 The file `Makefile.in' is a template used by `configure' to create
|
|
52 `Makefile'.
|
|
53
|
|
54 The file `make-dist' is a shell script to build a distribution tar
|
|
55 file from the current Emacs tree, containing only those files
|
|
56 appropriate for distribution. If you make extensive changes to Emacs,
|
|
57 this script will help you distribute your version to others.
|
|
58
|
|
59 There are several subdirectories:
|
|
60
|
42214
|
61 `src' holds the C code for Emacs (the Emacs Lisp interpreter and
|
49600
|
62 its primitives, the redisplay code, and some basic editing
|
42214
|
63 functions).
|
|
64 `lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp code for Emacs (most everything else).
|
49600
|
65 `leim' holds the library of Emacs input methods, Lisp code and
|
42214
|
66 auxiliary data files required to type international characters
|
|
67 which can't be directly produced by your keyboard.
|
|
68 `lib-src' holds the source code for some utility programs for use by or
|
|
69 with Emacs, like movemail and etags.
|
|
70 `etc' holds miscellaneous architecture-independent data files
|
|
71 Emacs uses, like the tutorial text and the Zippy the Pinhead
|
|
72 quote database. The contents of the `lisp', `leim', `info',
|
|
73 `man', `lispref', and `lispintro' subdirectories are
|
|
74 architecture-independent too.
|
|
75 `info' holds the Info documentation tree for Emacs.
|
84412
|
76 `doc/emacs' holds the source code for the Emacs Manual. If you modify the
|
42214
|
77 manual sources, you will need the `makeinfo' program to produce
|
|
78 an updated manual. `makeinfo' is part of the GNU Texinfo
|
78651
|
79 package; you need version 4.6 or later of Texinfo.
|
84412
|
80 `doc/lispref' holds the source code for the Emacs Lisp reference manual.
|
|
81 `doc/lispintro' holds the source code for the Introduction to Programming
|
|
82 in Emacs Lisp manual.
|
42214
|
83 `msdos' holds configuration files for compiling Emacs under MSDOG.
|
|
84 `vms' holds instructions and useful files for running Emacs under VMS.
|
|
85 `nt' holds various command files and documentation files that pertain
|
|
86 to building and running Emacs on Windows 9X/ME/NT/2000/XP.
|
|
87 `mac' holds instructions, sources, and other useful files for building
|
|
88 and running Emacs on the Mac.
|
92341
|
89 `test' holds tests for various aspects of Emacs's functionality.
