580 MAKE VARIABLES | |
581 | |
582 You can change where the build process installs Emacs and its data | |
583 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make' | |
584 command line. For example, if you type | |
585 | |
586 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin | |
587 | |
588 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the Emacs | |
589 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not | |
590 `/usr/local/bin'. | |
591 | |
592 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set. | |
593 | |
594 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can | |
595 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin. | |
596 | |
597 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent | |
598 read-only data files that Emacs refers to while it runs; it | |
9499 | 599 defaults to /usr/local/share. We create the following |
3199 | 600 subdirectories under `datadir': |

601 - `emacs/VERSION/lisp', containing the Emacs Lisp library, and |
3199 | 602 - `emacs/VERSION/etc', containing the Emacs tutorial, the DOC |
603 file, and the `yow' database. | |
604 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, | |
605 like `18.59' or `19.0'. Since these files vary from one version | |
606 of Emacs to another, including the version number in the path | |
607 allows you to have several versions of Emacs installed at the | |
608 same time; this means that you don't have to make Emacs | |
609 unavailable while installing a new version. | |
610 | |
9499 | 611 `libexecdir' indicates where to put architecture-specific data files that |
612 Emacs refers to as it runs; it defaults to `/usr/local/libexec'. | |
613 We create the following subdirectories under `libexecdir': | |
3199 | 614 - `emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME', containing executable |
615 programs used by Emacs that users are not expected to run | |

616 themselves. |
3199 | 617 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, |
618 and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument you gave to the | |
619 `configure' program to identify the architecture and operating | |
620 system of your machine, like `mips-dec-ultrix' or | |
621 `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since these files are specific to the version | |
622 of Emacs, operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
623 the configuration name in the path allows you to have several | |
624 versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and operating systems | |
625 installed at the same time; this is useful for sites at which | |
626 different kinds of machines share the file system Emacs is | |
627 installed on. | |
628 | |
629 `infodir' indicates where to put the info files distributed with | |

630 Emacs; it defaults to `/usr/local/share/info'. |
3199 | 631 |
632 `mandir' indicates where to put the man pages for Emacs and its | |
633 utilities (like `etags'); it defaults to | |
634 `/usr/local/man/man1'. | |
635 | |
636 `manext' gives the extension the man pages should be installed with. | |
637 It should contain a period, followed by the appropriate | |
638 digit. It defaults to `.1'. For example given the default | |
639 values for `mandir' and `manext', the Emacs man page would be | |
640 installed as `/usr/local/man/man1/emacs.1'. | |
641 | |
642 `prefix' doesn't give a path for any specific part of Emacs; instead, | |
643 its value is used to determine the defaults for all the | |
644 architecture-independent path variables - `datadir', | |
9499 | 645 `sharedstatedir', `infodir', and `mandir'. Its default value is |
3199 | 646 `/usr/local'; the other variables add on `lib' or `man' to it |
647 by default. | |
648 | |
649 For example, suppose your site generally places GNU software | |
650 under `/usr/users/software/gnusoft' instead of `/usr/local'. | |
651 By including | |
652 `prefix=/usr/users/software/gnusoft' | |
653 in the arguments to `make', you can instruct the build process | |
654 to place all of the Emacs data files in the appropriate | |
655 directories under that path. | |
656 | |
657 `exec_prefix' serves the same purpose as `prefix', but instead | |
658 determines the default values for the architecture-dependent | |
9499 | 659 path variables - `bindir' and `libexecdir'. |
3199 | 660 |
661 The above variables serve analogous purposes in the makefiles for all | |

662 GNU software; this variable is specific to Emacs. |
3199 | 663 |
12620 | 664 `archlibdir' indicates where Emacs installs and expects the executable |
665 files and other architecture-dependent data it uses while | |
666 running. Its default value, based on `libexecdir' (which | |
667 see), is `/usr/local/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' | |
3199 | 668 (where VERSION and CONFIGURATION-NAME are as described above). |
669 | |
670 Remember that you must specify any variable values you need each time | |
671 you run `make' in the top directory. If you run `make' once to build | |
672 emacs, test it, and then run `make' again to install the files, you | |
673 must provide the same variable settings each time. To make the | |
674 settings persist, you can edit them into the `Makefile' in the top | |
675 directory, but be aware that running the `configure' program erases | |
676 `Makefile' and rebuilds it from `Makefile.in'. | |

687 | |
688 CONFIGURATION BY HAND | |
689 | |
7864 | 690 Instead of running the `configure' program, you have to perform the |
691 following steps. | |

693 1) Copy `./src/config.in' to `./src/config.h'. |
3199 | 694 |
695 2) Consult `./etc/MACHINES' to see what configuration name you should | |
696 use for your system. Look at the code of the `configure' script to | |
697 see which operating system and architecture description files from | |
698 `src/s' and `src/m' should be used for that configuration name. Edit | |
699 `src/config.h', and change the two `#include' directives to include | |
700 the appropriate system and architecture description files. | |
701 | |
702 2) Edit `./src/config.h' to set the right options for your system. If | |
703 you need to override any of the definitions in the s/*.h and m/*.h | |
704 files for your system and machine, do so by editing config.h, not by | |
705 changing the s/*.h and m/*.h files. Occasionally you may need to | |
706 redefine parameters used in `./lib-src/movemail.c'. | |
707 | |
7864 | 708 3) Create src/Makefile and lib-src/Makefile from the corresponding |

709 `Makefile.in' files. First copy `Makefile.in' to `Makefile.c', |
14020 | 710 then edit in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs, |
7864 | 711 and then copy the shell commands near the end of `configure' |
712 that run cpp to construct `Makefile'. | |
3199 | 713 |
7864 | 714 4) Create `Makefile' files in various other directories |
715 from the corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard, | |
716 just a matter of substitution. | |

719 program. You need version 2.51 or newer of `autoconf' to rebuild |

3199 | 721 |
722 BUILDING GNU EMACS BY HAND | |
723 | |
9507 | 724 Once Emacs is configured, running `make' in the top directory performs |
725 the following steps. | |
3199 | 726 |
727 1) Run `make src/paths.h' in the top directory. This produces | |

728 `./src/paths.h' from the template file `./src/paths.in', changing |
3199 | 729 the paths to the values specified in `./Makefile'. |
730 | |
7864 | 731 2) Go to directory `./lib-src' and run `make'. This creates |
77155 | 732 executables named `ctags' and `etags' and `make-docfile' and |
733 `digest-doc' and `test-distrib'. And others. | |
3199 | 734 |
7864 | 735 3) Go to directory `./src' and Run `make'. This refers to files in |
736 the `./lisp' and `./lib-src' subdirectories using names `../lisp' and | |
3199 | 737 `../lib-src'. |
738 | |
739 This creates a file `./src/emacs' which is the runnable Emacs, | |
7864 | 740 which has another name that contains a version number. |
741 Each time you do this, that version number increments in the last place. | |
3199 | 742 |
743 It also creates a file in `./etc' whose name is `DOC' followed by the | |
744 current Emacs version. This file contains documentation strings for | |
745 all the functions in Emacs. Each time you run make to make a new | |
746 emacs, a new DOC file with a new name is made. You must keep the DOC | |
747 file for an Emacs version as long as you keep using that Emacs | |
748 version. | |
749 | |
750 | |
751 INSTALLATION BY HAND | |
752 | |
9507 | 753 The steps below are done by running `make install' in the main |
754 directory of the Emacs distribution. | |
3199 | 755 |
756 1) Copy `./lisp' and its subdirectories, `./etc', and the executables | |
757 in `./lib-src' to their final destinations, as selected in `./src/paths.h'. | |
758 | |
759 Strictly speaking, not all of the executables in `./lib-src' need be copied. | |

760 - The programs `cvtmail', `fakemail', `hexl', |
77155 | 761 `movemail', `profile', `rcs2log', and `vcdiff' are used by Emacs; |
762 they do need to be copied. | |
7864 | 763 - The programs `etags', `ctags', `emacsclient', `b2m', and `rcs-checkin' |
3199 | 764 are intended to be run by users; they are handled below. |
9498 | 765 - The programs `make-docfile' and `test-distrib' were |
3199 | 766 used in building Emacs, and are not needed any more. |
767 - The programs `digest-doc' and `sorted-doc' convert a `DOC' file into | |
768 a file for users to read. There is no important reason to move them. | |
769 | |
770 2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in | |
771 `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/paths.el'. Note that if the | |
772 destination directory already contains a file named `dir', you | |
773 probably don't want to replace it with the `dir' file in the Emacs | |
774 distribution. Instead, you should make sure that the existing `dir' | |
775 file contains an appropriate menu entry for the Emacs info. | |
776 | |
23353 | 777 3) Copy `./src/emacs' to `/usr/local/bin', or to some other directory |
3199 | 778 in users' search paths. `./src/emacs' has an alternate name |
779 `./src/emacs-EMACSVERSION'; you may wish to make a symbolic link named | |
780 `/usr/local/bin/emacs' pointing to that alternate name, as an easy way | |
781 of installing different versions. | |
782 | |
783 You can delete `./src/temacs'. | |
784 | |
23353 | 785 4) Copy the programs `b2m', `emacsclient', `ctags', `etags', and |
7864 | 786 `rcs-checkin' from `./lib-src' to `/usr/local/bin'. These programs are |
3199 | 787 intended for users to run. |
788 | |
23353 | 789 5) Copy the man pages in `./etc' for emacs, ctags, and etags into the |
3199 | 790 appropriate man directories. |
791 | |
23353 | 792 6) The files in the `./src' subdirectory, except for `emacs', are not |
7864 | 793 used by Emacs once it is built. However, it is very desirable to keep |
794 the source on line for debugging. | |
