36753 | 120 there is a separate `dev' or `devel' package, for use at compilation |

508 `/usr/local/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' contains executable |
3199 | 509 programs used by Emacs that users are not expected to |
510 run themselves. | |
511 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are | |
512 installing, and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument | |
513 you gave to the `configure' program to identify the | |
514 architecture and operating system of your machine, | |
515 like `mips-dec-ultrix' or `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since | |
516 these files are specific to the version of Emacs, | |
517 operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
518 the configuration name in the path allows you to have | |
519 several versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and | |
520 operating systems installed at the same time; this is | |
521 useful for sites at which different kinds of machines | |
522 share the file system Emacs is installed on. | |

571 MAKE VARIABLES | |
572 | |
573 You can change where the build process installs Emacs and its data | |
574 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make' | |
575 command line. For example, if you type | |
576 | |
577 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin | |
578 | |
579 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the Emacs | |
580 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not | |
581 `/usr/local/bin'. | |
582 | |
583 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set. | |
584 | |
585 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can | |
586 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin. | |
587 | |
588 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent | |
589 read-only data files that Emacs refers to while it runs; it | |
9499 | 590 defaults to /usr/local/share. We create the following |
3199 | 591 subdirectories under `datadir': |

592 - `emacs/VERSION/lisp', containing the Emacs Lisp library, and |
3199 | 593 - `emacs/VERSION/etc', containing the Emacs tutorial, the DOC |
594 file, and the `yow' database. | |
595 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, | |
596 like `18.59' or `19.0'. Since these files vary from one version | |
597 of Emacs to another, including the version number in the path | |
598 allows you to have several versions of Emacs installed at the | |
599 same time; this means that you don't have to make Emacs | |
600 unavailable while installing a new version. | |
601 | |
9499 | 602 `libexecdir' indicates where to put architecture-specific data files that |
603 Emacs refers to as it runs; it defaults to `/usr/local/libexec'. | |
604 We create the following subdirectories under `libexecdir': | |
3199 | 605 - `emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME', containing executable |
606 programs used by Emacs that users are not expected to run | |

607 themselves. |
3199 | 608 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, |
609 and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument you gave to the | |
610 `configure' program to identify the architecture and operating | |
611 system of your machine, like `mips-dec-ultrix' or | |
612 `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since these files are specific to the version | |
613 of Emacs, operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
614 the configuration name in the path allows you to have several | |
615 versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and operating systems | |
616 installed at the same time; this is useful for sites at which | |
617 different kinds of machines share the file system Emacs is | |
618 installed on. | |
619 | |
620 `infodir' indicates where to put the info files distributed with | |

621 Emacs; it defaults to `/usr/local/share/info'. |
3199 | 622 |
623 `mandir' indicates where to put the man pages for Emacs and its | |
624 utilities (like `etags'); it defaults to | |
625 `/usr/local/man/man1'. | |
626 | |
627 `manext' gives the extension the man pages should be installed with. | |
628 It should contain a period, followed by the appropriate | |
629 digit. It defaults to `.1'. For example given the default | |
630 values for `mandir' and `manext', the Emacs man page would be | |
631 installed as `/usr/local/man/man1/emacs.1'. | |
632 | |
633 `prefix' doesn't give a path for any specific part of Emacs; instead, | |
634 its value is used to determine the defaults for all the | |
635 architecture-independent path variables - `datadir', | |
9499 | 636 `sharedstatedir', `infodir', and `mandir'. Its default value is |
3199 | 637 `/usr/local'; the other variables add on `lib' or `man' to it |
638 by default. | |
639 | |
640 For example, suppose your site generally places GNU software | |
641 under `/usr/users/software/gnusoft' instead of `/usr/local'. | |
642 By including | |
643 `prefix=/usr/users/software/gnusoft' | |
644 in the arguments to `make', you can instruct the build process | |
645 to place all of the Emacs data files in the appropriate | |
646 directories under that path. | |
647 | |
648 `exec_prefix' serves the same purpose as `prefix', but instead | |
649 determines the default values for the architecture-dependent | |
9499 | 650 path variables - `bindir' and `libexecdir'. |
3199 | 651 |
652 The above variables serve analogous purposes in the makefiles for all | |

653 GNU software; this variable is specific to Emacs. |
3199 | 654 |
12620 | 655 `archlibdir' indicates where Emacs installs and expects the executable |
656 files and other architecture-dependent data it uses while | |
657 running. Its default value, based on `libexecdir' (which | |
658 see), is `/usr/local/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' | |
3199 | 659 (where VERSION and CONFIGURATION-NAME are as described above). |
660 | |
661 Remember that you must specify any variable values you need each time | |
662 you run `make' in the top directory. If you run `make' once to build | |
663 emacs, test it, and then run `make' again to install the files, you | |
664 must provide the same variable settings each time. To make the | |
665 settings persist, you can edit them into the `Makefile' in the top | |
666 directory, but be aware that running the `configure' program erases | |
667 `Makefile' and rebuilds it from `Makefile.in'. | |

679 CONFIGURATION BY HAND | |
680 | |
7864 | 681 Instead of running the `configure' program, you have to perform the |

684 1) Copy `./src/config.in' to `./src/config.h'. |
3199 | 685 |
686 2) Consult `./etc/MACHINES' to see what configuration name you should | |
687 use for your system. Look at the code of the `configure' script to | |
688 see which operating system and architecture description files from | |
689 `src/s' and `src/m' should be used for that configuration name. Edit | |
690 `src/config.h', and change the two `#include' directives to include | |
691 the appropriate system and architecture description files. | |
692 | |
693 2) Edit `./src/config.h' to set the right options for your system. If | |
694 you need to override any of the definitions in the s/*.h and m/*.h | |
695 files for your system and machine, do so by editing config.h, not by | |
696 changing the s/*.h and m/*.h files. Occasionally you may need to | |
697 redefine parameters used in `./lib-src/movemail.c'. | |
698 | |
7864 | 699 3) Create src/Makefile and lib-src/Makefile from the corresponding |

700 `Makefile.in' files. First copy `Makefile.in' to `Makefile.c', |
14020 | 701 then edit in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs, |
7864 | 702 and then copy the shell commands near the end of `configure' |
703 that run cpp to construct `Makefile'. | |
3199 | 704 |
7864 | 705 4) Create `Makefile' files in various other directories |
706 from the corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard, | |

713 BUILDING GNU EMACS BY HAND | |
714 | |
9507 | 715 Once Emacs is configured, running `make' in the top directory performs |
716 the following steps. | |
3199 | 717 |
718 1) Run `make src/paths.h' in the top directory. This produces | |

719 `./src/paths.h' from the template file `./src/paths.in', changing |
3199 | 720 the paths to the values specified in `./Makefile'. |
721 | |
7864 | 722 2) Go to directory `./lib-src' and run `make'. This creates |
77155 | 723 executables named `ctags' and `etags' and `make-docfile' and |
724 `digest-doc' and `test-distrib'. And others. | |
3199 | 725 |
7864 | 726 3) Go to directory `./src' and Run `make'. This refers to files in |
727 the `./lisp' and `./lib-src' subdirectories using names `../lisp' and | |
3199 | 728 `../lib-src'. |
729 | |
730 This creates a file `./src/emacs' which is the runnable Emacs, | |
7864 | 731 which has another name that contains a version number. |
732 Each time you do this, that version number increments in the last place. | |
3199 | 733 |
734 It also creates a file in `./etc' whose name is `DOC' followed by the | |
735 current Emacs version. This file contains documentation strings for | |
736 all the functions in Emacs. Each time you run make to make a new | |
737 emacs, a new DOC file with a new name is made. You must keep the DOC | |
738 file for an Emacs version as long as you keep using that Emacs | |
739 version. | |
740 | |
741 | |
742 INSTALLATION BY HAND | |
743 | |
9507 | 744 The steps below are done by running `make install' in the main |
745 directory of the Emacs distribution. | |
3199 | 746 |
747 1) Copy `./lisp' and its subdirectories, `./etc', and the executables | |
748 in `./lib-src' to their final destinations, as selected in `./src/paths.h'. | |
749 | |
750 Strictly speaking, not all of the executables in `./lib-src' need be copied. | |

751 - The programs `cvtmail', `fakemail', `hexl', |
77155 | 752 `movemail', `profile', `rcs2log', and `vcdiff' are used by Emacs; |
753 they do need to be copied. | |
7864 | 754 - The programs `etags', `ctags', `emacsclient', `b2m', and `rcs-checkin' |
3199 | 755 are intended to be run by users; they are handled below. |

758 - The programs `digest-doc' and `sorted-doc' convert a `DOC' file into | |
759 a file for users to read. There is no important reason to move them. | |
760 | |
761 2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in | |
762 `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/paths.el'. Note that if the | |
763 destination directory already contains a file named `dir', you | |
764 probably don't want to replace it with the `dir' file in the Emacs | |
765 distribution. Instead, you should make sure that the existing `dir' | |
766 file contains an appropriate menu entry for the Emacs info. | |
767 | |
23353 | 768 3) Copy `./src/emacs' to `/usr/local/bin', or to some other directory |
3199 | 769 in users' search paths. `./src/emacs' has an alternate name |
770 `./src/emacs-EMACSVERSION'; you may wish to make a symbolic link named | |
771 `/usr/local/bin/emacs' pointing to that alternate name, as an easy way | |
772 of installing different versions. | |

774 You can delete `./src/temacs'. | |
