The simplest way to build Emacs is to use the `configure' shell script
which attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent
variables and features and find the directories where various system
headers and libraries are kept.  It then creates a `Makefile' in each
subdirectory and a `config.h' file containing system-dependent
definitions.  Running the Make utility then builds the package for
your system.

Here's the procedure to build Emacs using `configure' on systems which
are supported by it.  If this simplified procedure fails, or if you
are using a platform such as MS-Windows where `configure' script
doesn't work, you might need to use various non-default options, and
maybe perform some of the steps manually.  The more detailed
description in the rest of the sections of this guide will help you do
that, so please refer to them if the simple procedure does not work.

  1. If you want to be able to input international characters which
     your keyboard doesn't support directly (i.e., you cannot type
     them at the shell prompt), download the leim-M.N.tar.gz
     distribution and unpack it into the same directory where you have
     unpacked the main Emacs distribution.  See ADDITIONAL
     DISTRIBUTION FILES, below, for more about this.

     directories before running `configure' again:

		make distclean 
		./configure

  6. Invoke the Make program:

		 make

  7. If Make succeeds, it will build an executable program `emacs' in
     the `src' directory.  You can try this program, to make sure it
     works:

		 src/emacs -q

  8. Assuming that the program `src/emacs' starts and displays its
     opening screen, you can install the program and its auxiliary

corrected versions of two files from djgpp in the msdos subdirectory:
is_exec.c and sigaction.c.  To work around the bugs, compile these
files and link them into temacs.  Djgpp versions 2.01 and later have
these bugs fixed, so upgrade if you can before building Emacs.
