178 * Extra fonts
|
|
|
179
|
|

|
180 The Emacs distribution does not include fonts and does not install
|
|
|
181 them. You must do that yourself.
|
|
49759
|
182
|
|
36040
|
183 To take proper advantage of Emacs 21's mule-unicode charsets, you need
|
|
51114
|
184 a suitable font. For `Unicode' (ISO 10646) fonts for X, see
|
|
69701
|
185 <URL:http://czyborra.com/unifont/> (packaged in Debian),
|

51114
|
186 <URL:http://openlab.ring.gr.jp/efont/> (packaged in Debian). (In
|
|
|
187 recent Debian versions, there is an extensive `misc-fixed' iso10646-1
|
|
|
188 in the default X installation.) Perhaps also see

|
194 XFree86 release 4 (from <URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/> and mirrors)
|
|
36040
|
195 contains font support for most, if not all, of the charsets that Emacs
|
|
51114
|
196 currently supports, including iso10646-1 encoded fonts for use with
|
|
|
197 the mule-unicode charsets. The font files should also be usable with
|
|
|
198 older X releases. Note that XFree 4 contains many iso10646-1 fonts
|
|
|
199 with minimal character repertoires, which can cause problems -- see
|
|
|
200 etc/PROBLEMS.

212 * GNU/Linux development packages
|
|
|
213
|
|
|
214 Many GNU/Linux systems do not come with development packages by
|
|
|
215 default; they just include the files that you need to run Emacs, but
|
|
|
216 not those you need to compile it. For example, to compile Emacs with
|
|
|
217 X11 support, you may need to install the special `X11 development'
|
|
50751
|
218 package. For example, in April 2003, the package names to install
|
|
77155
|
219 were `XFree86-devel' and `Xaw3d-devel' on Red Hat. On Debian, the
|
|
51114
|
220 packages necessary to build the installed version should be
|
|
|
221 sufficient; they can be installed using `apt-get build-dep emacs21' in
|
|
|
222 Debian 3 and above.

|
42221
|
234 least 2.8 MB and can reach 100 MB or more. If the swapping space is
|
|
3199
|
235 insufficient, you will get an error in the command `temacs -batch -l

239 Building Emacs requires about 140 MB of disk space (including the
|
|
|
240 Emacs sources) Once installed, Emacs occupies about 77 MB in the file
|
|
42213
|
241 system where it is installed; this includes the executable files, Lisp
|
|
|
242 libraries, miscellaneous data files, and on-line documentation. If
|
|
|
243 the building and installation take place in different directories,
|
|
42221

253 3) You can build Emacs in the top-level Emacs source directory
|
|
|
254 or in a separate directory.
|
|
|
255
|
|
|
256 3a) To build in the top-level Emacs source directory, go to that
|
|
|
257 directory and run the program `configure' as follows:
|
|
3199
|
258
|
|
22255
|
259 ./configure [CONFIGURATION-NAME] [--OPTION[=VALUE]] ...
|
|
3199
|
260
|
|
|
261 The CONFIGURATION-NAME argument should be a configuration name given
|
|
22255
|
262 in `./etc/MACHINES', with the system version number added at the end.
|
|
|
263
|
|
|
264 You should try first omitting CONFIGURATION-NAME. This way,
|
|
|
265 `configure' will try to guess your system type. If it cannot guess,
|
|
|
266 or if something goes wrong in building or installing Emacs this way,
|
|
|
267 try again specifying the proper CONFIGURATION-NAME explicitly.
|
|
3199
|
268
|
|
9760
|
269 If you don't want X support, specify `--with-x=no'. If you omit this
|
|
|
270 option, `configure' will try to figure out for itself whether your
|
|
|
271 system has X, and arrange to use it if present.
|
|
3199
|
272
|
|
|
273 The `--x-includes=DIR' and `--x-libraries=DIR' options tell the build
|
|
|
274 process where the compiler should look for the include files and
|
|
9760
|
275 object libraries used with the X Window System. Normally, `configure'
|
|
|
276 is able to find them; these options are necessary if you have your X
|
|
12042
|
277 Window System files installed in unusual places. These options also
|
|
|
278 accept a list of directories, separated with colons.
|
|
6062
|
279
|
|
9760
|
280 To get more attractive menus, you can specify an X toolkit when you
|
|
|
281 configure Emacs; use the option `--with-x-toolkit=TOOLKIT', where
|
|
71724
|
282 TOOLKIT is `athena', `motif' or `gtk' (`yes' and `lucid' are synonyms
|
|
|
283 for `athena'). On some systems, it does not work to use a toolkit
|
|
|
284 with shared libraries. A free implementation of Motif, called
|
|
|
285 LessTif, is available from <http://www.lesstif.org>. Compiling with
|
|
|
286 LessTif or Motif causes a standard File Selection Dialog to pop up
|
|
|
287 when you invoke file commands with the mouse. You can get fancy
|
|
|
288 3D-style scroll bars, even without LessTif/Motif, if you have the
|
|
|
289 Xaw3d library installed (see "Image support libraries" above for Xaw3d

290 availability).
|
|
3199
|
291
|
|
49322
|
292 If `--with-x-toolkit=gtk' is specified, you can tell configure where
|
|
|
293 to search for GTK by specifying `--with-pkg-config-prog=PATH' where
|
|
69735
|
294 PATH is the pathname to pkg-config. Note that GTK version 2.4 or
|
|
49322
|
295 newer is required for Emacs.
|
|
|
296
|
|
34484
|
297 The Emacs mail reader RMAIL is configured to be able to read mail from
|
|
|
298 a POP3 server by default. Versions of the POP protocol older than
|
|
|
299 POP3 are not supported. For Kerberos-authenticated POP add
|
|
|
300 `--with-kerberos', for Hesiod support add `--with-hesiod'. While POP3
|
|
|
301 is always enabled, whether Emacs actually uses POP is controlled by
|
|
|
302 individual users--see the Rmail chapter of the Emacs manual.

|
|
|
333 (unless the `--exec-prefix' option says otherwise).
|

9760
|
334 - The architecture-independent files go in PREFIXDIR/share/emacs/VERSION

339 unless the `--exec-prefix' option says otherwise.
|

340
|

341 The `--exec-prefix=EXECDIR' option allows you to specify a separate

342 portion of the directory tree for installing architecture-specific
|
|
|
343 files, like executables and utility programs. If specified,

356 `configure' doesn't do any compilation or installation
|
|
3199
|
357 itself. It just creates the files that influence those things:
|
|
9499
|
358 `./Makefile', `lib-src/Makefile', `oldXMenu/Makefile',
|
|
|
359 `lwlib/Makefile', `src/Makefile', and `./src/config.h'. For details
|
|
|
360 on exactly what it does, see the section called `CONFIGURATION BY
|
|
|
361 HAND', below.
|
|
3199
|
362
|
|
|
363 When it is done, `configure' prints a description of what it did and
|
|
9760
|
364 creates a shell script `config.status' which, when run, recreates the
|
|
|
365 same configuration. If `configure' exits with an error after
|
|
|
366 disturbing the status quo, it removes `config.status'. `configure'
|
|
|
367 also creates a file `config.cache' that saves the results of its tests
|
|
|
368 to make reconfiguring faster, and a file `config.log' containing compiler
|
|
|
369 output (useful mainly for debugging `configure'). You can give
|
|
|
370 `configure' the option `--cache-file=FILE' to use the results of the
|
|
|
371 tests in FILE instead of `config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to
|
|
|
372 disable caching, for debugging `configure'.

393 Here's an example of a `configure' invocation, assuming a Bourne-like

406 For some libraries, like Gtk+, fontconfig and ALSA, `configure' use
|
|
|
407 pkg-config to find where those libraries are installed.
|
|
|
408 If you want pkg-config to look in special directories, you have to set
|
|
|
409 the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the directories
|
|
74486
|
410 where the .pc-files for those libraries are.
|
|
|
411 For example:
|
|
|
412
|
|
|
413 PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/local/alsa/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gtk+-2.8/lib/pkgconfig' \
|
|
|
414 ./configure
|
|
|
415
|
|
3199
|
416 The work of `configure' can be done by editing various files in the
|
|
16309
|
417 distribution, but using `configure' is easier. See the section called
|
|
|
418 "CONFIGURATION BY HAND" below if you want to do the configuration
|
|
|
419 yourself.
|
|
|
420
|
|
|
421 3b) To build in a separate directory, go to that directory
|
|
|
422 and run the program `configure' as follows:
|
|
|
423
|
|
|
424 SOURCE-DIR/configure CONFIGURATION-NAME [--OPTION[=VALUE]] ...
|
|
|
425
|
|
|
426 SOURCE-DIR refers to the top-level Emacs source directory which is
|
|
|
427 where Emacs's configure script is located. `configure' looks for the
|
|
|
428 Emacs source code in the directory that `configure' is in.
|
|
|
429
|
|
|
430 To build in a separate directory, you must use a version of `make'
|
|
|
431 that supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'.
|
|
3199
|
432
|
|
21692
|
433 3c) Some people try to build in a separate directory by filling
|
|
|
434 it full of symlinks to the files in the real source directory.
|
|
21691
|
435 If you do that, `make all' does work, but `make install' fails:
|
|
|
436 it copies the symbolic links rather than the actual files.
|
|
|
437
|
|
|
438 As far as is known, there is no particular reason to use
|
|
|
439 a directory full of links rather than use the standard GNU
|
|
|
440 facilities to build in a separate directory (see 3b above).
|
|
|
441
|
|
3199
|
442 4) Look at `./lisp/paths.el'; if some of those values are not right
|
|
11905
|
443 for your system, set up the file `./lisp/site-init.el' with Emacs
|
|
|
444 Lisp code to override them; it is not a good idea to edit paths.el
|
|
3199
|
445 itself. YOU MUST USE THE LISP FUNCTION `setq' TO ASSIGN VALUES,
|
|
|
446 rather than `defvar', as used by `./lisp/paths.el'. For example,
|
|
|
447
|
|
|
448 (setq news-inews-program "/usr/bin/inews")
|
|
|
449
|
|
|
450 is how you would override the default value of the variable
|
|
|
451 news-inews-program (which is "/usr/local/inews").
|
|
|
452
|
|
11119
|
453 Before you override a variable this way, *look at the value* that the
|
|
|
454 variable gets by default! Make sure you know what kind of value the
|
|
|
455 variable should have. If you don't pay attention to what you are
|
|
|
456 doing, you'll make a mistake.
|
|
|
457
|
|
6062
|
458 5) Put into `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/site-load.el' any Emacs
|
|
|
459 Lisp code you want Emacs to load before it is dumped out. Use
|
|
|
460 site-load.el for additional libraries if you arrange for their
|
|
|
461 documentation strings to be in the etc/DOC file (see
|
|
13667
|
462 src/Makefile.in if you wish to figure out how to do that). For all
|
|
23330
|
463 else, use site-init.el. Do not load byte-compiled code which
|
|
|
464 was build with a non-nil value of `byte-compile-dynamic'.
|
|
3199
|
465
|
|
11732
|
466 If you set load-path to a different value in site-init.el or
|
|
|
467 site-load.el, Emacs will use *precisely* that value when it starts up
|
|
|
468 again. If you do this, you are on your own!
|
|
10672
|
469
|
|
3199
|
470 Note that, on some systems, the code you place in site-init.el must
|
|
|
471 not use expand-file-name or any other function which may look
|
|
|
472 something up in the system's password and user information database.
|
|
21089
|
473 See `./etc/PROBLEMS' for more details on which systems this affects.
|
|
3199
|
474
|
|
7627
|
475 The `site-*.el' files are nonexistent in the distribution. You do not
|
|
|
476 need to create them if you have nothing to put in them.
|
|
3199
|
477
|
|
|
478 6) Refer to the file `./etc/TERMS' for information on fields you may
|
|
|
479 wish to add to various termcap entries. The files `./etc/termcap.ucb'
|
|
|
480 and `./etc/termcap.dat' may already contain appropriately-modified
|
|
|
481 entries.
|
|
|
482
|
|
|
483 7) Run `make' in the top directory of the Emacs distribution to finish
|
|
11733
|
484 building Emacs in the standard way. The final executable file is
|
|
|
485 named `src/emacs'. You can execute this file "in place" without
|
|
|
486 copying it, if you wish; then it automatically uses the sibling
|
|
|
487 directories ../lisp, ../lib-src, ../info.
|
|
3199
|
488
|
|
11733
|
489 Or you can "install" the executable and the other Emacs into their
|
|
|
490 installed locations, with `make install'. By default, Emacs's files
|
|
|
491 are installed in the following directories:
|
|
3199
|
492
|
|
|
493 `/usr/local/bin' holds the executable programs users normally run -
|
|
7864
|
494 `emacs', `etags', `ctags', `b2m', `emacsclient',
|
|
|
495 and `rcs-checkin'.
|
|
3199
|
496
|
|
9760
|
497 `/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp library;
|
|
3199
|
498 `VERSION' stands for the number of the Emacs version
|
|
9760
|
499 you are installing, like `18.59' or `19.27'. Since the
|
|
14147
|
500 Lisp library changes from one version of Emacs to
|
|
3199
|
501 another, including the version number in the path
|
|
|
502 allows you to have several versions of Emacs installed
|
|
14147
|
503 at the same time; in particular, you don't have to
|
|
|
504 make Emacs unavailable while installing a new version.
|
|
|
505
|
|
9760
|
506 `/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/etc' holds the Emacs tutorial, the DOC
|
|
3199
|
507 file, the `yow' database, and other
|
|
|
508 architecture-independent files Emacs might need while
|
|
|
509 running. VERSION is as specified for `.../lisp'.
|
|
|
510
|
|
9760
|
511 `/usr/local/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' contains executable
|
|
3199
|
512 programs used by Emacs that users are not expected to
|
|
|
513 run themselves.
|
|
|
514 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are
|
|
|
515 installing, and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument
|
|
|
516 you gave to the `configure' program to identify the
|
|
|
517 architecture and operating system of your machine,
|
|
|
518 like `mips-dec-ultrix' or `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since
|
|
|
519 these files are specific to the version of Emacs,
|
|
|
520 operating system, and architecture in use, including
|
|
|
521 the configuration name in the path allows you to have
|
|
|
522 several versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and
|
|
|
523 operating systems installed at the same time; this is
|
|
|
524 useful for sites at which different kinds of machines
|
|
|
525 share the file system Emacs is installed on.
|
|
|
526
|
|
75274
|
527 `/usr/local/share/info' holds the on-line documentation for Emacs,
|
|
|
528 known as "info files". Many other GNU programs are
|
|
|
529 documented using info files as well, so this directory
|
|
|
530 stands apart from the other, Emacs-specific
|
|
|
531 directories.
|
|
3199
|
532
|
|
|
533 `/usr/local/man/man1' holds the man pages for the programs installed
|
|
|
534 in `/usr/local/bin'.
|
|
|
535
|
|
54951
|
536 Any version of Emacs, whether installed or not, also looks for Lisp
|
|
|
537 files in these directories.
|
|
|
538
|
|
|
539 `/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/site-lisp' holds the local Emacs Lisp
|
|
|
540 files installed for Emacs version VERSION only.
|
|
|
541
|
|
|
542 `/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp' holds the local Emacs Lisp
|
|
|
543 files installed for all Emacs versions.
|
|
|
544
|
|
|
545 When Emacs is installed, it searches for its Lisp files
|
|
|
546 in `/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/site-lisp', then in
|
|
|
547 `/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp', and finally in
|
|
|
548 `/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/lisp'.
|
|
|
549
|
|
3199
|
550 If these directories are not what you want, you can specify where to
|
|
|
551 install Emacs's libraries and data files or where Emacs should search
|
|
14147
|
552 for its Lisp files by giving values for `make' variables as part of
|
|
3199
|
553 the command. See the section below called `MAKE VARIABLES' for more
|
|
|
554 information on this.
|
|
|
555
|
|
|
556 8) Check the file `dir' in your site's info directory (usually
|
|
75274
|
557 /usr/local/share/info) to make sure that it has a menu entry for the
|
|
|
558 Emacs info files.
|
|
3199
|
559
|
|
6062
|
560 9) If your system uses lock files to interlock access to mailer inbox files,
|
|
9760
|
561 then you might need to make the movemail program setuid or setgid
|
|
6062
|
562 to enable it to write the lock files. We believe this is safe.
|
|
|
563
|
|
12620
|
564 10) You are done! You can remove executables and object files from
|
|
|
565 the build directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the files
|
|
|
566 that `configure' created (so you can compile Emacs for a different

|
568 of the input methods from the Leim package, you can remove the

47561
|
569 unneeded files in the leim subdirectories of your site's lisp
|
|
|
570 directory (usually /usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/).

|
574 MAKE VARIABLES
|
|
|
575
|
|
|
576 You can change where the build process installs Emacs and its data
|
|
|
577 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make'
|
|
|
578 command line. For example, if you type
|
|
|
579
|
|
|
580 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin
|
|
|
581
|
|
|
582 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the Emacs
|
|
|
583 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not
|
|
|
584 `/usr/local/bin'.
|
|
|
585
|
|
|
586 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set.
|
|
|
587
|
|
|
588 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can
|
|
|
589 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin.
|
|
|
590
|
|
|
591 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent
|
|
|
592 read-only data files that Emacs refers to while it runs; it
|
|
9499
|
593 defaults to /usr/local/share. We create the following
|
|
3199
|
594 subdirectories under `datadir':
|
|
14147
|
595 - `emacs/VERSION/lisp', containing the Emacs Lisp library, and
|
|
3199
|
596 - `emacs/VERSION/etc', containing the Emacs tutorial, the DOC
|
|
|
597 file, and the `yow' database.
|
|
|
598 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing,
|
|
|
599 like `18.59' or `19.0'. Since these files vary from one version
|
|
|
600 of Emacs to another, including the version number in the path
|
|
|
601 allows you to have several versions of Emacs installed at the
|
|
|
602 same time; this means that you don't have to make Emacs
|
|
|
603 unavailable while installing a new version.
|
|
|
604
|
|
9499
|
605 `libexecdir' indicates where to put architecture-specific data files that
|
|
|
606 Emacs refers to as it runs; it defaults to `/usr/local/libexec'.
|
|
|
607 We create the following subdirectories under `libexecdir':
|
|
3199
|
608 - `emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME', containing executable
|
|
|
609 programs used by Emacs that users are not expected to run
|
|
49600
|
610 themselves.
|
|
3199
|
611 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing,
|
|
|
612 and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument you gave to the
|
|
|
613 `configure' program to identify the architecture and operating
|
|
|
614 system of your machine, like `mips-dec-ultrix' or
|
|
|
615 `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since these files are specific to the version
|
|
|
616 of Emacs, operating system, and architecture in use, including
|
|
|
617 the configuration name in the path allows you to have several
|
|
|
618 versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and operating systems
|
|
|
619 installed at the same time; this is useful for sites at which
|
|
|
620 different kinds of machines share the file system Emacs is
|
|
|
621 installed on.
|
|
|
622
|
|
|
623 `infodir' indicates where to put the info files distributed with
|
|
75274
|
624 Emacs; it defaults to `/usr/local/share/info'.
|
|
3199
|
625
|
|
|
626 `mandir' indicates where to put the man pages for Emacs and its
|
|
|
627 utilities (like `etags'); it defaults to
|
|
|
628 `/usr/local/man/man1'.
|
|
|
629
|
|
|
630 `manext' gives the extension the man pages should be installed with.
|
|
|
631 It should contain a period, followed by the appropriate
|
|
|
632 digit. It defaults to `.1'. For example given the default
|
|
|
633 values for `mandir' and `manext', the Emacs man page would be
|
|
|
634 installed as `/usr/local/man/man1/emacs.1'.
|
|
|
635
|
|
|
636 `prefix' doesn't give a path for any specific part of Emacs; instead,
|
|
|
637 its value is used to determine the defaults for all the
|
|
|
638 architecture-independent path variables - `datadir',
|
|
9499
|
639 `sharedstatedir', `infodir', and `mandir'. Its default value is
|
|
3199
|
640 `/usr/local'; the other variables add on `lib' or `man' to it
|
|
|
641 by default.
|
|
|
642
|
|
|
643 For example, suppose your site generally places GNU software
|
|
|
644 under `/usr/users/software/gnusoft' instead of `/usr/local'.
|
|
|
645 By including
|
|
|
646 `prefix=/usr/users/software/gnusoft'
|
|
|
647 in the arguments to `make', you can instruct the build process
|
|
|
648 to place all of the Emacs data files in the appropriate
|
|
|
649 directories under that path.
|
|
|
650
|
|
|
651 `exec_prefix' serves the same purpose as `prefix', but instead
|
|
|
652 determines the default values for the architecture-dependent
|
|
9499
|
653 path variables - `bindir' and `libexecdir'.
|
|
3199
|
654
|
|
|
655 The above variables serve analogous purposes in the makefiles for all
|
|
21343
|
656 GNU software; this variable is specific to Emacs.
|
|
3199
|
657
|
|
12620
|
658 `archlibdir' indicates where Emacs installs and expects the executable
|
|
|
659 files and other architecture-dependent data it uses while
|
|
|
660 running. Its default value, based on `libexecdir' (which
|
|
|
661 see), is `/usr/local/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME'
|
|
3199
|
662 (where VERSION and CONFIGURATION-NAME are as described above).
|
|
|
663
|
|
|
664 Remember that you must specify any variable values you need each time
|
|
|
665 you run `make' in the top directory. If you run `make' once to build
|
|
|
666 emacs, test it, and then run `make' again to install the files, you
|
|
|
667 must provide the same variable settings each time. To make the
|
|
|
668 settings persist, you can edit them into the `Makefile' in the top
|
|
|
669 directory, but be aware that running the `configure' program erases
|
|
|
670 `Makefile' and rebuilds it from `Makefile.in'.
|
|
|
671
|
|
21343
|
672 The path for finding Lisp files is specified in src/paths.h,
|
|
|
673 a file which is generated by running configure. To change the path,
|
|
|
674 you can edit the definition of PATH_LOADSEARCH in that file
|
|
|
675 before you run `make'.
|
|
|
676
|
|
3199
|
677 The top-level Makefile stores the variable settings it used in the
|
|
|
678 Makefiles for the subdirectories, so you don't have to specify them
|
|
|
679 when running make in the subdirectories.

682 CONFIGURATION BY HAND
|
|
|
683
|
|
7864
|
684 Instead of running the `configure' program, you have to perform the
|
|
|
685 following steps.
|
|
3199
|
686
|
|
13667
|
687 1) Copy `./src/config.in' to `./src/config.h'.
|
|
3199
|
688
|
|
|
689 2) Consult `./etc/MACHINES' to see what configuration name you should
|
|
|
690 use for your system. Look at the code of the `configure' script to
|
|
|
691 see which operating system and architecture description files from
|
|
|
692 `src/s' and `src/m' should be used for that configuration name. Edit
|
|
|
693 `src/config.h', and change the two `#include' directives to include
|
|
|
694 the appropriate system and architecture description files.
|
|
|
695
|
|
|
696 2) Edit `./src/config.h' to set the right options for your system. If
|
|
|
697 you need to override any of the definitions in the s/*.h and m/*.h
|
|
|
698 files for your system and machine, do so by editing config.h, not by
|
|
|
699 changing the s/*.h and m/*.h files. Occasionally you may need to
|
|
|
700 redefine parameters used in `./lib-src/movemail.c'.
|
|
|
701
|
|
7864
|
702 3) Create src/Makefile and lib-src/Makefile from the corresponding
|
|
13667
|
703 `Makefile.in' files. First copy `Makefile.in' to `Makefile.c',
|
|
14020
|
704 then edit in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs,
|
|
7864
|
705 and then copy the shell commands near the end of `configure'
|
|
|
706 that run cpp to construct `Makefile'.
|
|
3199
|
707
|
|
7864
|
708 4) Create `Makefile' files in various other directories
|
|
|
709 from the corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard,
|
|
|
710 just a matter of substitution.
|
|
3199
|
711
|
|
|
712 The `configure' script is built from `configure.in' by the `autoconf'
|
|
42396
|
713 program. You need version 2.51 or newer of `autoconf' to rebuild
|
|
36267
|
714 `configure'.
|
|
3199
|
715
|
|
|
716 BUILDING GNU EMACS BY HAND
|
|
|
717
|
|
9507
|
718 Once Emacs is configured, running `make' in the top directory performs
|
|
|
719 the following steps.
|
|
3199
|
720
|
|
|
721 1) Run `make src/paths.h' in the top directory. This produces
|
|
13667
|
722 `./src/paths.h' from the template file `./src/paths.in', changing
|
|
3199
|
723 the paths to the values specified in `./Makefile'.
|
|
|
724
|
|
7864
|
725 2) Go to directory `./lib-src' and run `make'. This creates
|
|
77155
|
726 executables named `ctags' and `etags' and `make-docfile' and
|
|
|
727 `digest-doc' and `test-distrib'. And others.
|
|
3199
|
728
|
|
7864
|
729 3) Go to directory `./src' and Run `make'. This refers to files in
|
|
|
730 the `./lisp' and `./lib-src' subdirectories using names `../lisp' and
|
|
3199
|
731 `../lib-src'.
|
|
|
732
|
|
|
733 This creates a file `./src/emacs' which is the runnable Emacs,
|
|
7864
|
734 which has another name that contains a version number.
|
|
|
735 Each time you do this, that version number increments in the last place.
|
|
3199
|
736
|
|
|
737 It also creates a file in `./etc' whose name is `DOC' followed by the
|
|
|
738 current Emacs version. This file contains documentation strings for
|
|
|
739 all the functions in Emacs. Each time you run make to make a new
|
|
|
740 emacs, a new DOC file with a new name is made. You must keep the DOC
|
|
|
741 file for an Emacs version as long as you keep using that Emacs
|
|
|
742 version.
|
|
|
743
|
|
|
744
|
|
|
745 INSTALLATION BY HAND
|
|
|
746
|
|
9507
|
747 The steps below are done by running `make install' in the main
|
|
|
748 directory of the Emacs distribution.
|
|
3199
|
749
|
|
|
750 1) Copy `./lisp' and its subdirectories, `./etc', and the executables
|
|
|
751 in `./lib-src' to their final destinations, as selected in `./src/paths.h'.
|
|
|
752
|
|
|
753 Strictly speaking, not all of the executables in `./lib-src' need be copied.
|
|
47616
|
754 - The programs `cvtmail', `fakemail', `hexl',
|
|
77155
|
755 `movemail', `profile', `rcs2log', and `vcdiff' are used by Emacs;
|
|
|
756 they do need to be copied.
|
|
7864
|
757 - The programs `etags', `ctags', `emacsclient', `b2m', and `rcs-checkin'
|
|
3199
|
758 are intended to be run by users; they are handled below.
|
|
9498
|
759 - The programs `make-docfile' and `test-distrib' were
|
|
3199
|
760 used in building Emacs, and are not needed any more.
|
|
|
761 - The programs `digest-doc' and `sorted-doc' convert a `DOC' file into
|
|
|
762 a file for users to read. There is no important reason to move them.
|
|
|
763
|
|
|
764 2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in
|
|
|
765 `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/paths.el'. Note that if the
|
|
|
766 destination directory already contains a file named `dir', you
|
|
|
767 probably don't want to replace it with the `dir' file in the Emacs
|
|
|
768 distribution. Instead, you should make sure that the existing `dir'
|
|
|
769 file contains an appropriate menu entry for the Emacs info.
|
|
|
770
|
|
23353
|
771 3) Copy `./src/emacs' to `/usr/local/bin', or to some other directory
|
|
3199
|
772 in users' search paths. `./src/emacs' has an alternate name
|
|
|
773 `./src/emacs-EMACSVERSION'; you may wish to make a symbolic link named
|
|
|
774 `/usr/local/bin/emacs' pointing to that alternate name, as an easy way
|
|
|
775 of installing different versions.
|
|
|
776
|
|
|
777 You can delete `./src/temacs'.
|
|
|
778
|
|
23353
|
779 4) Copy the programs `b2m', `emacsclient', `ctags', `etags', and
|
|
7864
|
780 `rcs-checkin' from `./lib-src' to `/usr/local/bin'. These programs are
|
|
3199
|
781 intended for users to run.
|
|
|
782
|
|
23353
|
783 5) Copy the man pages in `./etc' for emacs, ctags, and etags into the
|
|
3199
|
784 appropriate man directories.
|
|
|
785
|
|
23353
|
786 6) The files in the `./src' subdirectory, except for `emacs', are not
|
|
7864
|
787 used by Emacs once it is built. However, it is very desirable to keep
|
|
|
788 the source on line for debugging.

797 Installation on MSDOG (a.k.a. MSDOS)
|
|
|
798
|
|
7627
|
799 To install on MSDOG, you need to have the GNU C compiler for MSDOG
|
|
15444
|
800 (also known as djgpp), GNU Make, rm, mv, and sed. See the remarks in
|
|
|
801 config.bat for more information about locations and versions. The
|
|
|
802 file etc/FAQ includes pointers to Internet sites where you can find
|
|
|
803 the necessary utilities; search for "MS-DOS". The configuration step
|
|
|
804 (see below) will test for these utilities and will refuse to continue
|
|
|
805 if any of them isn't found.
|
|
6062
|
806
|
|
36123
|
807 Recompiling Lisp files in the `lisp' subdirectory using the various
|
|
|
808 targets in the lisp/Makefile file requires additional utilities:
|
|
|
809 `find' and `xargs' (from Findutils), `touch' (from Fileutils) GNU
|
|
|
810 `echo' and `test' (from Sh-utils), `tr, `sort', and `uniq' (from
|
|
|
811 Textutils), and a port of Bash. However, you should not normally need
|
|
|
812 to run lisp/Makefile, as all the Lisp files are distributed in
|
|
|
813 byte-compiled form as well.
|
|
|
814
|
|
15444
|
815 If you are building the MSDOG version of Emacs on an MSDOG-like system
|
|
|
816 which supports long file names (e.g. Windows 95), you need to make
|
|
|
817 sure that long file names are handled consistently both when you
|
|
|
818 unpack the distribution and compile it. If you intend to compile with
|
|
|
819 DJGPP v2.0 or later, and long file names support is enabled (LFN=y in
|
|
|
820 the environment), you need to unpack Emacs distribution in a way that
|
|
|
821 doesn't truncate the original long filenames to the DOS 8.3 namespace;
|
|
|
822 the easiest way to do this is to use djtar program which comes with
|
|
|
823 DJGPP, since it will note the LFN setting and behave accordingly.
|
|
|
824 DJGPP v1 doesn't support long filenames, so you must unpack Emacs with
|
|
|
825 a program that truncates the filenames to 8.3 naming as it extracts
|
|
|
826 files; again, using djtar after setting LFN=n is the recommended way.
|
|
|
827 You can build Emacs with LFN=n even if you use DJGPP v2, if some of
|
|
|
828 your tools don't support long file names: just ensure that LFN is set
|
|
|
829 to `n' during both unpacking and compiling.
|
|
15017
|
830
|
|
15444
|
831 (By the time you read this, you have already unpacked the Emacs
|
|
|
832 distribution, but if the explanations above imply that you should have
|
|
|
833 done it differently, it's safer to delete the directory tree created
|
|
|
834 by the unpacking program and unpack Emacs again, than to risk running
|
|
|
835 into problems during the build process.)
|
|
|
836
|
|
|
837 It is important to understand that the runtime support of long file
|
|
|
838 names by the Emacs binary is NOT affected by the LFN setting during
|
|
|
839 compilation; Emacs compiled with DJGPP v2.0 or later will always

|
840 support long file names on Windows 9X no matter what was the setting
|
|
15733
|
841 of LFN at compile time. However, if you compiled with LFN disabled
|
|
|
842 and want to enable LFN support after Emacs was already built, you need
|
|
|
843 to make sure that the support files in the lisp, etc and info
|
|
|
844 directories are called by their original long names as found in the
|
|
|
845 distribution. You can do this either by renaming the files manually,
|
|
|
846 or by extracting them from the original distribution archive with
|
|
|
847 djtar after you set LFN=y in the environment.
|
|
15017
|
848
|
|
15444
|
849 To unpack Emacs with djtar, type this command:
|
|
|
850
|
|
|
851 djtar -x emacs.tgz
|
|
12339
|
852
|
|
15444
|
853 (This assumes that the Emacs distribution is called `emacs.tgz' on
|
|
19635
|
854 your system.)

|
857 distribution. For this, create a directory called `fonts' under the
|
|
24070
|
858 Emacs top-level directory (usually called `emacs-XX.YY') created by
|
|
|
859 unpacking emacs.tgz, chdir into the directory emacs-XX.YY/fonts, and
|
|
|
860 type this:
|
|
|
861
|
|
|
862 djtar -x intlfonts.tgz
|
|
|
863
|
|
15444
|
864 When unpacking is done, a directory called `emacs-XX.YY' will be
|
|
|
865 created, where XX.YY is the Emacs version. To build and install
|
|
|
866 Emacs, chdir to that directory and type these commands:
|
|

|
867

871 Running "config msdos" checks for several programs that are required
|
|
|
872 to configure and build Emacs; if one of those programs is not found,
|
|
|
873 CONFIG.BAT stops and prints an error message. If you have DJGPP
|
|
|
874 version 2.0 or 2.01, it will complain about a program called
|
|
|
875 DJECHO.EXE. These old versions of DJGPP shipped that program under
|
|
|
876 the name ECHO.EXE, so you can simply copy ECHO.EXE to DJECHO.EXE and
|
|
|
877 rerun CONFIG.BAT. If you have neither ECHO.EXE nor DJECHO.EXE, you
|
|
|
878 should be able to find them in your djdevNNN.zip archive (where NNN is
|
|
|
879 the DJGPP version number).
|
|

880

37479
|
881 On Windows NT or Windows 2000, running "config msdos" might print an
|
|
|
882 error message like "VDM has been already loaded". This is because
|
|
|
883 those systems have a program called `redir.exe' which is incompatible
|
|
|
884 with a program by the same name supplied with DJGPP, which is used by
|
|
|
885 config.bat. To resolve this, move the DJGPP's `bin' subdirectory to
|
|
|
886 the front of your PATH environment variable.

900 Building Emacs creates executable files in the src and lib-src
|
|
|
901 directories. Installing Emacs on MSDOS moves these executables to a
|
|
|
902 sibling directory called bin. For example, if you build in directory
|
|
|
903 /emacs, installing moves the executables from /emacs/src and
|
|
|
904 /emacs/lib-src to the directory /emacs/bin, so you can then delete the
|
|
|
905 subdirectories /emacs/src and /emacs/lib-src if you wish. The only
|
|
24070
|
906 subdirectories you need to keep are bin, lisp, etc and info. (If you
|
|
42213
|
907 installed intlfonts, keep the fonts directory and all its
|
|
|
908 subdirectories as well.) The bin subdirectory should be added to your
|
|
|
909 PATH. The msdos subdirectory includes a PIF and an icon file for
|
|
|
910 Emacs which you might find useful if you run Emacs under MS Windows.
|
|
12349
|
911
|
|
15039
|
912 Emacs on MSDOS finds the lisp, etc and info directories by looking in
|
|
|
913 ../lisp, ../etc and ../info, starting from the directory where the
|
|
|
914 Emacs executable was run from. You can override this by setting the
|
|
19635
|
915 environment variables EMACSDATA (for the location of `etc' directory),
|
|
|
916 EMACSLOADPATH (for the location of `lisp' directory) and INFOPATH (for
|
|
|
917 the location of the `info' directory).

919 MSDOG is a not a multitasking operating system, so Emacs features such
