Building and Installing Emacs from CVSSome of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such asbyte-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 bootstrapThe bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuiltbefore it builds the final Emacs binary.Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVSupdate. Unless there are problems, we suggest the followingprocedure: $ ./configure $ make $ cd lisp $ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs $ cd .. $ make(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" insteadof "make" in the last command.)If the above procedure fails, try "make bootstrap".Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run theplatform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat,etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure isapplicable to those systems as well.Note that "make bootstrap" overwrites some files that are under CVScontrol, such as lisp/loaddefs.el. This could produce CVS conflictsnext time that you resync with the CVS. If you see such conflicts,overwrite your local copy of the file with the clean version from theCVS repository. For example: cvs update -C lisp/loaddefs.elQuestions, requests, and bug reports about the CVS versions of Emacssould be sent to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org rather.
