Building and Installing Emacs from CVS Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository. Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap" instead of just "make": $ ./configure $ make bootstrap The bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuilt before it builds the final Emacs binary. Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS update. Unless there are problems, we suggest the following procedure: $ ./configure $ make $ cd lisp $ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs $ cd .. $ make (If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead of "make" in the last command.) Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" will need be updated to reflect new autoloaded functions. If you see errors about undefined lisp functions during compilation, that may be the reason. Another symptom may be an error saying that "loaddefs.el" could not be found; this is due to a change in the way loaddefs.el was handled in CVS, and should only happen once, for users that are updating old CVS trees. To update loaddefs.el, do: $ cd lisp $ make autoloads EMACS=../src/emacs If either of above procedures fails, try "make bootstrap". Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat, etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is applicable to those systems as well. Questions, requests, and bug reports about the CVS versions of Emacs should be sent to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org rather than gnu.emacs.help or gnu.emacs.bug. Ideally, use M-x report-emacs-bug RET which will send it to the proper place.
