(grep-regexp-alist): Use backreference at the
end of first regexp to limit the match to the position between
line number and source line with same separator character as used
between file name and line number. In the second regexp limit
mouse-face area to file name and line number by adding new group
for them and referring it in HYPERLINK arg.
(grep-regexp-alist, grep-mode-font-lock-keywords): Use shy group.
(grep-mode): Set font-lock-lines-before to 0 to not refontify the
previous line where grep markers may be already removed.

117 On some systems, particularly on GNU/Linux, these libraries may |
36752 | 118 already be present or available as additional packages. Note that if |
36753 | 119 there is a separate `dev' or `devel' package, for use at compilation |
120 time rather than run time, you will need that as well as the | |
121 corresponding run time package; typically the dev package will | |
122 contain header files and a library archive. Otherwise, you can | |
123 download and build libraries from sources. None of them are vital for | |
124 running Emacs; however, note that Emacs will not be able to use | |
125 colored icons in the toolbar if XPM support is not compiled in. | |

172 the mule-unicode charsets. The font files should also be usable with | |

477 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are | |

479 you gave to the `configure' program to identify the | |
480 architecture and operating system of your machine, | |

482 these files are specific to the version of Emacs, | |

485 several versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and | |

537 | |
538 You can change where the build process installs Emacs and its data | |
539 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make' | |
540 command line. For example, if you type | |
541 | |
542 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin | |
543 | |
544 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the Emacs | |
545 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not | |
546 `/usr/local/bin'. | |
547 | |
548 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set. | |
549 | |
550 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can | |
551 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin. | |
552 | |
553 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent | |
554 read-only data files that Emacs refers to while it runs; it | |
9499 | 555 defaults to /usr/local/share. We create the following |

3199 | 558 - `emacs/VERSION/etc', containing the Emacs tutorial, the DOC |
559 file, and the `yow' database. | |
560 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, | |
561 like `18.59' or `19.0'. Since these files vary from one version | |
562 of Emacs to another, including the version number in the path | |
563 allows you to have several versions of Emacs installed at the | |
564 same time; this means that you don't have to make Emacs | |
565 unavailable while installing a new version. | |

572 themselves. |
3199 | 573 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, |
574 and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument you gave to the | |
575 `configure' program to identify the architecture and operating | |
576 system of your machine, like `mips-dec-ultrix' or | |
577 `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since these files are specific to the version | |
578 of Emacs, operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
579 the configuration name in the path allows you to have several | |
580 versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and operating systems | |
581 installed at the same time; this is useful for sites at which | |
582 different kinds of machines share the file system Emacs is | |
583 installed on. | |
584 | |
585 `infodir' indicates where to put the info files distributed with | |
586 Emacs; it defaults to `/usr/local/info'. | |
587 | |
588 `mandir' indicates where to put the man pages for Emacs and its | |
589 utilities (like `etags'); it defaults to | |
590 `/usr/local/man/man1'. | |
591 | |
592 `manext' gives the extension the man pages should be installed with. | |
593 It should contain a period, followed by the appropriate | |
594 digit. It defaults to `.1'. For example given the default | |
595 values for `mandir' and `manext', the Emacs man page would be | |
596 installed as `/usr/local/man/man1/emacs.1'. | |
597 | |
598 `prefix' doesn't give a path for any specific part of Emacs; instead, | |
599 its value is used to determine the defaults for all the | |
600 architecture-independent path variables - `datadir', | |
9499 | 601 `sharedstatedir', `infodir', and `mandir'. Its default value is |
3199 | 602 `/usr/local'; the other variables add on `lib' or `man' to it |
603 by default. | |
604 | |
605 For example, suppose your site generally places GNU software | |
606 under `/usr/users/software/gnusoft' instead of `/usr/local'. | |
607 By including | |
608 `prefix=/usr/users/software/gnusoft' | |
609 in the arguments to `make', you can instruct the build process | |
610 to place all of the Emacs data files in the appropriate | |
611 directories under that path. | |
612 | |
613 `exec_prefix' serves the same purpose as `prefix', but instead | |
614 determines the default values for the architecture-dependent | |
9499 | 615 path variables - `bindir' and `libexecdir'. |
3199 | 616 |
617 The above variables serve analogous purposes in the makefiles for all | |

618 GNU software; this variable is specific to Emacs. |
3199 | 619 |
12620 | 620 `archlibdir' indicates where Emacs installs and expects the executable |
621 files and other architecture-dependent data it uses while | |
622 running. Its default value, based on `libexecdir' (which | |
623 see), is `/usr/local/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' | |
3199 | 624 (where VERSION and CONFIGURATION-NAME are as described above). |
625 | |
626 Remember that you must specify any variable values you need each time | |
627 you run `make' in the top directory. If you run `make' once to build | |
628 emacs, test it, and then run `make' again to install the files, you | |
629 must provide the same variable settings each time. To make the | |
630 settings persist, you can edit them into the `Makefile' in the top | |
631 directory, but be aware that running the `configure' program erases | |
632 `Makefile' and rebuilds it from `Makefile.in'. | |

644 CONFIGURATION BY HAND | |
645 | |

649 1) Copy `./src/config.in' to `./src/config.h'. |
3199 | 650 |
651 2) Consult `./etc/MACHINES' to see what configuration name you should | |
652 use for your system. Look at the code of the `configure' script to | |
653 see which operating system and architecture description files from | |
654 `src/s' and `src/m' should be used for that configuration name. Edit | |
655 `src/config.h', and change the two `#include' directives to include | |
656 the appropriate system and architecture description files. | |
657 | |
658 2) Edit `./src/config.h' to set the right options for your system. If | |
659 you need to override any of the definitions in the s/*.h and m/*.h | |
660 files for your system and machine, do so by editing config.h, not by | |
661 changing the s/*.h and m/*.h files. Occasionally you may need to | |
662 redefine parameters used in `./lib-src/movemail.c'. | |
663 | |
7864 | 664 3) Create src/Makefile and lib-src/Makefile from the corresponding |

14020 | 666 then edit in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs, |
7864 | 667 and then copy the shell commands near the end of `configure' |
668 that run cpp to construct `Makefile'. | |

671 from the corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard, | |

678 BUILDING GNU EMACS BY HAND | |
679 | |
9507 | 680 Once Emacs is configured, running `make' in the top directory performs |
681 the following steps. | |
3199 | 682 |
683 1) Run `make src/paths.h' in the top directory. This produces | |

684 `./src/paths.h' from the template file `./src/paths.in', changing |
3199 | 685 the paths to the values specified in `./Makefile'. |
686 | |
7864 | 687 2) Go to directory `./lib-src' and run `make'. This creates |
688 executables named `ctags' and `etags' and `wakeup' and `make-docfile' | |
689 and `digest-doc' and `test-distrib'. And others. | |
3199 | 690 |
7864 | 691 3) Go to directory `./src' and Run `make'. This refers to files in |
692 the `./lisp' and `./lib-src' subdirectories using names `../lisp' and | |
3199 | 693 `../lib-src'. |
694 | |
695 This creates a file `./src/emacs' which is the runnable Emacs, | |
7864 | 696 which has another name that contains a version number. |
697 Each time you do this, that version number increments in the last place. | |
3199 | 698 |
699 It also creates a file in `./etc' whose name is `DOC' followed by the | |
700 current Emacs version. This file contains documentation strings for | |
701 all the functions in Emacs. Each time you run make to make a new | |
702 emacs, a new DOC file with a new name is made. You must keep the DOC | |
703 file for an Emacs version as long as you keep using that Emacs | |
704 version. | |
705 | |
706 | |
707 INSTALLATION BY HAND | |
708 | |
9507 | 709 The steps below are done by running `make install' in the main |
710 directory of the Emacs distribution. | |
3199 | 711 |
712 1) Copy `./lisp' and its subdirectories, `./etc', and the executables | |
713 in `./lib-src' to their final destinations, as selected in `./src/paths.h'. | |
714 | |
715 Strictly speaking, not all of the executables in `./lib-src' need be copied. | |

716 - The programs `cvtmail', `fakemail', `hexl', |
7864 | 717 `movemail', `profile', `rcs2log', `timer', `vcdiff', `wakeup', |
718 and `yow' are used by Emacs; they do need to be copied. | |
719 - The programs `etags', `ctags', `emacsclient', `b2m', and `rcs-checkin' | |
3199 | 720 are intended to be run by users; they are handled below. |
9498 | 721 - The programs `make-docfile' and `test-distrib' were |
3199 | 722 used in building Emacs, and are not needed any more. |
723 - The programs `digest-doc' and `sorted-doc' convert a `DOC' file into | |
724 a file for users to read. There is no important reason to move them. | |
725 | |
726 2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in | |
727 `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/paths.el'. Note that if the | |
728 destination directory already contains a file named `dir', you | |
729 probably don't want to replace it with the `dir' file in the Emacs | |
730 distribution. Instead, you should make sure that the existing `dir' | |
731 file contains an appropriate menu entry for the Emacs info. | |
732 | |
23353 | 733 3) Copy `./src/emacs' to `/usr/local/bin', or to some other directory |
3199 | 734 in users' search paths. `./src/emacs' has an alternate name |
735 `./src/emacs-EMACSVERSION'; you may wish to make a symbolic link named | |
736 `/usr/local/bin/emacs' pointing to that alternate name, as an easy way | |
737 of installing different versions. | |
738 | |
739 You can delete `./src/temacs'. | |
740 | |
23353 | 741 4) Copy the programs `b2m', `emacsclient', `ctags', `etags', and |
7864 | 742 `rcs-checkin' from `./lib-src' to `/usr/local/bin'. These programs are |
3199 | 743 intended for users to run. |
744 | |
23353 | 745 5) Copy the man pages in `./etc' for emacs, ctags, and etags into the |
3199 | 746 appropriate man directories. |
747 | |
23353 | 748 6) The files in the `./src' subdirectory, except for `emacs', are not |
7864 | 749 used by Emacs once it is built. However, it is very desirable to keep |
750 the source on line for debugging. | |
