517 If you are compiling on an MSDOG-like system which has long file | |
518 names, you may need to do `SET LFN=y' for some of the commands, | |
519 especially the compilation commands. It might be more convenient to | |
520 unpack the Emacs distribution with djtar, which comes with djgpp; | |
521 djtar truncates file names to 8.3 naming as it extracts files, even if | |
522 the system allows long file names, and this ensures that build | |
523 procedures designed for 8.3 file names still work. Use as in `djtar x | |
524 foo.tar' or `djtar x foo.tgz'. | |
