EACCES, when determining whether rename failed because the target
exists. This was resulting in indefinite looping on Windows 9x if

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. | |

| 341 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are | |
| 342 installing, and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument | |
| 343 you gave to the `configure' program to identify the | |
| 344 architecture and operating system of your machine, | |
| 345 like `mips-dec-ultrix' or `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since | |
| 346 these files are specific to the version of Emacs, | |
| 347 operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
| 348 the configuration name in the path allows you to have | |
| 349 several versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and | |

| 387 MAKE VARIABLES | |
| 388 | |
| 389 You can change where the build process installs Emacs and its data | |
| 390 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make' | |
| 391 command line. For example, if you type | |
| 392 | |
| 393 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin | |
| 394 | |
| 395 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the Emacs | |
| 396 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not | |
| 397 `/usr/local/bin'. | |
| 398 | |
| 399 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set. | |
| 400 | |
| 401 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can | |
| 402 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin. | |
| 403 | |
| 404 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent | |
| 405 read-only data files that Emacs refers to while it runs; it | |
| 9499 | 406 defaults to /usr/local/share. We create the following |
| 3199 | 407 subdirectories under `datadir': |

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

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

| 502 2) Consult `./etc/MACHINES' to see what configuration name you should | |

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

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