Remove the term "on-line" (meaning "Info") throughout, since in this day and age the common meaning is "on the web". (copying): Use @copyright in all cases. (Basic keys): Remove reference to deleted manual node "Text Characters". (File-name conventions): Use GNU as an example rather than SERVICE. default.el lives in site-lisp. Update Info directory location. (Real meaning of copyleft): GPL actions have been brought, but all settled out of court. (Guidelines for newsgroup postings): Shorten section title. Simplify comp.emacs description. (Newsgroup archives): Change Google URL. Describe Gmane. (Unsubscribing from Emacs lists): Remove discussion of "distribution points". Mention List-Unsubscribe header. (Contacting the FSF): Update email and URLs. (Basic editing): Mention F1 for help. (Installing Texinfo documentation): Refer to Texinfo website rather than ftp server. (Printing a Texinfo file): Mention texi2pdf. (Informational files for Emacs): Don't describe FTP or SERVICE, they are just stubs nowadays. (Latest version of Emacs): Explain version numbers. (Spell-checkers, Checking TeX and *roff documents): Remove sections. (Turning on syntax highlighting): No need to mention hilit19 any more. (Finding Emacs on the Internet): Refer to URLs rather than DISTRIB, FTP. (Modes for various languages): Remove section. (Major packages and programs): Remove most version and maintainer information - it's hard to keep up-to-date, and adds nothing. Similarly with direct links to mailing lists. (Spell-checkers): Rename node from Ispell. Mention Aspell and Hunspell. (Mailcrypt): Remove section - mailcrypt has not been updated in mnay years, and Emacs comes with tools for this now. (Patch): Remove section - this is a standard tool. (Using function keys under X): Remove section.

Compilation
-----------

In the top-level directory, use:

  ./configure --with-ns

This will compile all the files, but emacs will not be able to be run except
in -nw (terminal) mode.

In order to run Emacs.app, you must run:

  make install

This will assemble the app in nextstep/Emacs.app.

If you pass the --disable-ns-self-contained option to configure, the lisp
files will be installed under whatever 'prefix' is set to (defaults to
/usr/local).  The bundle will be smaller, but depend on these resources (may
require 'sudo' for "make install").


Installation
------------

Move nextstep/Emacs.app to any desired install location.


Xcode
-----

On OS X Emacs can be built under Xcode.  You need to run "configure"
as described above first.  There are two targets: 'temacs' and 'Emacs.app'.

'temacs' will build the undumped emacs executable, and copy it and the
*.o files to the src directory.  These steps are necessary so the next target
works.

'Emacs.app' uses "Run Script" build phases to assemble the Emacs.app bundle.
It uses the 'ns-app' target in src/Makefile together with the 'install' target
in the top level Makefile.

The source files under the temacs target must list "pre-crt0" first
and "lastfile" last, so that dumping works.

(Note, under GNUstep, you CAN'T use ProjectCenter, since PC cannot work
with files outside of its project directory.)


Distributions and Universal Binaries
------------------------------------

Building as outlined above will create ordinary binaries running on your
architecture only.  To create universal binaries, set CFLAGS to include
"-arch ppc -arch i386".
