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. | |

333 you gave to the `configure' program to identify the | |
334 architecture and operating system of your machine, | |
335 like `mips-dec-ultrix' or `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since | |
336 these files are specific to the version of Emacs, | |
337 operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
338 the configuration name in the path allows you to have | |
339 several versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and | |

377 MAKE VARIABLES | |
378 | |
379 You can change where the build process installs Emacs and its data | |
380 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make' | |
381 command line. For example, if you type | |
382 | |
383 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin | |
384 | |
385 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the Emacs | |
386 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not | |
387 `/usr/local/bin'. | |
388 | |
389 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set. | |
390 | |
391 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can | |
392 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin. | |
393 | |
394 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent | |
395 read-only data files that Emacs refers to while it runs; it | |
9499 | 396 defaults to /usr/local/share. We create the following |
3199 | 397 subdirectories under `datadir': |

398 - `emacs/VERSION/lisp', containing the Emacs Lisp library, and |
3199 | 399 - `emacs/VERSION/etc', containing the Emacs tutorial, the DOC |
400 file, and the `yow' database. | |
401 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, | |
402 like `18.59' or `19.0'. Since these files vary from one version | |
403 of Emacs to another, including the version number in the path | |
404 allows you to have several versions of Emacs installed at the | |
405 same time; this means that you don't have to make Emacs | |
406 unavailable while installing a new version. | |
407 | |
9499 | 408 `libexecdir' indicates where to put architecture-specific data files that |
409 Emacs refers to as it runs; it defaults to `/usr/local/libexec'. | |
410 We create the following subdirectories under `libexecdir': | |
3199 | 411 - `emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME', containing executable |
412 programs used by Emacs that users are not expected to run | |
413 themselves. | |
414 `VERSION' is the number of the Emacs version you are installing, | |
415 and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the argument you gave to the | |
416 `configure' program to identify the architecture and operating | |
417 system of your machine, like `mips-dec-ultrix' or | |
418 `sparc-sun-sunos'. Since these files are specific to the version | |
419 of Emacs, operating system, and architecture in use, including | |
420 the configuration name in the path allows you to have several | |
421 versions of Emacs for any mix of machines and operating systems | |
422 installed at the same time; this is useful for sites at which | |
423 different kinds of machines share the file system Emacs is | |
424 installed on. | |
425 | |
426 `infodir' indicates where to put the info files distributed with | |
427 Emacs; it defaults to `/usr/local/info'. | |
428 | |
429 `mandir' indicates where to put the man pages for Emacs and its | |
430 utilities (like `etags'); it defaults to | |
431 `/usr/local/man/man1'. | |
432 | |
433 `manext' gives the extension the man pages should be installed with. | |
434 It should contain a period, followed by the appropriate | |
435 digit. It defaults to `.1'. For example given the default | |
436 values for `mandir' and `manext', the Emacs man page would be | |
437 installed as `/usr/local/man/man1/emacs.1'. | |
438 | |
439 `prefix' doesn't give a path for any specific part of Emacs; instead, | |
440 its value is used to determine the defaults for all the | |
441 architecture-independent path variables - `datadir', | |
9499 | 442 `sharedstatedir', `infodir', and `mandir'. Its default value is |
3199 | 443 `/usr/local'; the other variables add on `lib' or `man' to it |
444 by default. | |
445 | |
446 For example, suppose your site generally places GNU software | |
447 under `/usr/users/software/gnusoft' instead of `/usr/local'. | |
448 By including | |
449 `prefix=/usr/users/software/gnusoft' | |
450 in the arguments to `make', you can instruct the build process | |
451 to place all of the Emacs data files in the appropriate | |
452 directories under that path. | |
453 | |
454 `exec_prefix' serves the same purpose as `prefix', but instead | |
455 determines the default values for the architecture-dependent | |
9499 | 456 path variables - `bindir' and `libexecdir'. |
3199 | 457 |
458 The above variables serve analogous purposes in the makefiles for all | |

459 GNU software; this variable is specific to Emacs. |
3199 | 460 |
12620 | 461 `archlibdir' indicates where Emacs installs and expects the executable |
462 files and other architecture-dependent data it uses while | |
463 running. Its default value, based on `libexecdir' (which | |
464 see), is `/usr/local/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' | |
3199 | 465 (where VERSION and CONFIGURATION-NAME are as described above). |
466 | |
467 Remember that you must specify any variable values you need each time | |
468 you run `make' in the top directory. If you run `make' once to build | |
469 emacs, test it, and then run `make' again to install the files, you | |
470 must provide the same variable settings each time. To make the | |
471 settings persist, you can edit them into the `Makefile' in the top | |
472 directory, but be aware that running the `configure' program erases | |
473 `Makefile' and rebuilds it from `Makefile.in'. | |

485 CONFIGURATION BY HAND | |

490 1) Copy `./src/config.in' to `./src/config.h'. |
3199 | 491 |
492 2) Consult `./etc/MACHINES' to see what configuration name you should | |
493 use for your system. Look at the code of the `configure' script to | |
494 see which operating system and architecture description files from | |
495 `src/s' and `src/m' should be used for that configuration name. Edit | |
496 `src/config.h', and change the two `#include' directives to include | |
497 the appropriate system and architecture description files. | |
498 | |
499 2) Edit `./src/config.h' to set the right options for your system. If | |
500 you need to override any of the definitions in the s/*.h and m/*.h | |
501 files for your system and machine, do so by editing config.h, not by | |
502 changing the s/*.h and m/*.h files. Occasionally you may need to | |
503 redefine parameters used in `./lib-src/movemail.c'. | |
504 | |
7864 | 505 3) Create src/Makefile and lib-src/Makefile from the corresponding |

14020 | 507 then edit in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs, |
7864 | 508 and then copy the shell commands near the end of `configure' |
509 that run cpp to construct `Makefile'. | |
3199 | 510 |
7864 | 511 4) Create `Makefile' files in various other directories |
512 from the corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard, | |
513 just a matter of substitution. | |

518 BUILDING GNU EMACS BY HAND | |
519 | |
9507 | 520 Once Emacs is configured, running `make' in the top directory performs |
521 the following steps. | |
3199 | 522 |
523 1) Run `make src/paths.h' in the top directory. This produces | |

524 `./src/paths.h' from the template file `./src/paths.in', changing |
3199 | 525 the paths to the values specified in `./Makefile'. |
526 | |
7864 | 527 2) Go to directory `./lib-src' and run `make'. This creates |
528 executables named `ctags' and `etags' and `wakeup' and `make-docfile' | |
529 and `digest-doc' and `test-distrib'. And others. | |
3199 | 530 |
7864 | 531 3) Go to directory `./src' and Run `make'. This refers to files in |
532 the `./lisp' and `./lib-src' subdirectories using names `../lisp' and | |
3199 | 533 `../lib-src'. |
534 | |
535 This creates a file `./src/emacs' which is the runnable Emacs, | |
7864 | 536 which has another name that contains a version number. |
537 Each time you do this, that version number increments in the last place. | |
3199 | 538 |
539 It also creates a file in `./etc' whose name is `DOC' followed by the | |
540 current Emacs version. This file contains documentation strings for | |
541 all the functions in Emacs. Each time you run make to make a new | |
542 emacs, a new DOC file with a new name is made. You must keep the DOC | |
543 file for an Emacs version as long as you keep using that Emacs | |
544 version. | |
545 | |
546 | |
547 INSTALLATION BY HAND | |
548 | |
9507 | 549 The steps below are done by running `make install' in the main |
550 directory of the Emacs distribution. | |
3199 | 551 |
552 1) Copy `./lisp' and its subdirectories, `./etc', and the executables | |
553 in `./lib-src' to their final destinations, as selected in `./src/paths.h'. | |
554 | |
555 Strictly speaking, not all of the executables in `./lib-src' need be copied. | |
7627 | 556 - The programs `cvtmail', `emacsserver', `fakemail', `hexl', |
7864 | 557 `movemail', `profile', `rcs2log', `timer', `vcdiff', `wakeup', |
558 and `yow' are used by Emacs; they do need to be copied. | |
559 - The programs `etags', `ctags', `emacsclient', `b2m', and `rcs-checkin' | |
3199 | 560 are intended to be run by users; they are handled below. |
9498 | 561 - The programs `make-docfile' and `test-distrib' were |
3199 | 562 used in building Emacs, and are not needed any more. |
563 - The programs `digest-doc' and `sorted-doc' convert a `DOC' file into | |
564 a file for users to read. There is no important reason to move them. | |
565 | |
566 2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in | |
567 `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/paths.el'. Note that if the | |
568 destination directory already contains a file named `dir', you | |
569 probably don't want to replace it with the `dir' file in the Emacs | |
570 distribution. Instead, you should make sure that the existing `dir' | |
571 file contains an appropriate menu entry for the Emacs info. | |
572 | |
23353 | 573 3) Copy `./src/emacs' to `/usr/local/bin', or to some other directory |
3199 | 574 in users' search paths. `./src/emacs' has an alternate name |
575 `./src/emacs-EMACSVERSION'; you may wish to make a symbolic link named | |
576 `/usr/local/bin/emacs' pointing to that alternate name, as an easy way | |
577 of installing different versions. | |
578 | |
579 You can delete `./src/temacs'. | |
580 | |
23353 | 581 4) Copy the programs `b2m', `emacsclient', `ctags', `etags', and |
7864 | 582 `rcs-checkin' from `./lib-src' to `/usr/local/bin'. These programs are |
3199 | 583 intended for users to run. |
584 | |
23353 | 585 5) Copy the man pages in `./etc' for emacs, ctags, and etags into the |
3199 | 586 appropriate man directories. |
587 | |
23353 | 588 6) The files in the `./src' subdirectory, except for `emacs', are not |
