7 This README file describes how to dump a bare precompiled version of GNU | |
8 Emacs for Windows NT and Windows 95/98/2000. This distribution | |
9 supplements the standard dumped precompiled distribution of Emacs, which | |
10 you can download from: | |
11 | |
12 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/ | |
13 | |
14 If you do not have the "bin" distribution, then you will need to | |
15 download it before you can use this undumped version. Also note that | |
16 you should only need to dump Emacs yourself if you want to dump Emacs | |
17 with more elisp files than are included normally, or to rebuild Emacs | |
18 after patching one of the elisp files that is preloaded. | |
19 | |
20 The dumping process consists of running a bare Emacs, loading up a | |
21 number of general elisp files, and then creating a new Emacs executable | |
22 preinitialized and ready to run. In the precompiled distributions, | |
23 Emacs has already been dumped with the standard configuration. | |
24 | |
25 To dump Emacs, unpack this distribution into the directory created by | |
26 unpacking the corresponding standard precompiled distribution. To | |
27 verify that you unpacked in the proper place, check to make sure that | |
28 you now have a temacs.exe file in the bin directory. | |
29 | |
30 Once you have unpacked this distribution, cd into the bin directory and | |
31 run dump.bat. This will produce a new bin\emacs.exe executable for you | |
32 to use (the original one is renamed to emacs.exe.orig; this is not | |
33 overwritten if you run dump more than once). | |
34 | |
35 For more information about running Emacs, read the README.W32 file that | |
36 came with the standard dumped precompiled distribution. If you have | |
37 problems with Emacs, including problems with dumping, send email to | |
38 "ntemacs-users@cs.washington.edu". | |
39 | |
40 Enjoy. | |
