28 If the above procedure fails, try "make bootstrap". 28 Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" will need be updated to reflect
29 new autoloaded functions. If you see errors about undefined lisp
30 functions during compilation, that may be the reason. Another symptom
31 may be an error saying that "loaddefs.el" could not be found; this is
32 due to a change in the way loaddefs.el was handled in CVS, and should
33 only happen once, for users that are updating old CVS trees.

35 To update loaddefs.el, do:

37 $ cd lisp
38 $ make autoloads EMACS=../src/emacs

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:
