45852 | 1 Building and Installing Emacs from CVS |
2 | |
3 Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as | |
4 byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository. | |
5 Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap" | |
6 instead of just "make": | |
7 | |
8 $ ./configure | |
9 $ make bootstrap | |
10 | |
11 The bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuilt | |
12 before it builds the final Emacs binary. | |
13 | |
14 Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS | |
15 update. Unless there are problems, we suggest the following | |
16 procedure: | |
17 | |
18 $ ./configure | |
19 $ make | |
20 $ cd lisp | |
21 $ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs | |
22 $ cd .. | |
23 $ make | |
24 | |
25 (If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead | |
26 of "make" in the last command.) | |
27 | |
28 If the above procedure fails, try "make bootstrap". | |
29 | |
30 Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the | |
31 platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat, | |
32 etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is | |
33 applicable to those systems as well. | |
34 | |
35 Note that "make bootstrap" overwrites some files that are under CVS | |
36 control, such as lisp/loaddefs.el. This could produce CVS conflicts | |
37 next time that you resync with the CVS. If you see such conflicts, | |
38 overwrite your local copy of the file with the clean version from the | |
39 CVS repository. For example: | |
40 | |
41 cvs update -C lisp/loaddefs.el | |
