30 Emacs. |
25856 | 31 |
32 The file `configure' is a shell script to acclimate Emacs to the | |
33 oddities of your processor and operating system. It creates the file | |
34 `Makefile' (a script for the `make' program), which automates the | |
35 process of building and installing Emacs. See INSTALL for more | |
36 detailed information. | |
37 | |
38 The file `configure.in' is the input used by the autoconf program to | |
36268 | 39 construct the `configure' script. Since Emacs has some configuration |
40 requirements that autoconf can't meet directly, and for historical | |
41 reasons, `configure.in' uses an unholy marriage of custom-baked | |
42 configuration code and autoconf macros. If you want to rebuild | |
43 `configure' from `configure.in', you will need to install a recent | |
44 version of autoconf and GNU m4. | |

25856 | 46 The file `Makefile.in' is a template used by `configure' to create |
47 `Makefile'. | |
48 | |
49 The file `make-dist' is a shell script to build a distribution tar | |
50 file from the current Emacs tree, containing only those files | |
51 appropriate for distribution. If you make extensive changes to Emacs, | |
52 this script will help you distribute your version to others. | |
