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.) + +If the above procedure 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. + +Note that "make bootstrap" overwrites some files that are under CVS +control, such as lisp/loaddefs.el. This could produce CVS conflicts +next time that you resync with the CVS. If you see such conflicts, +overwrite your local copy of the file with the clean version from the +CVS repository. For example: + + cvs update -C lisp/loaddefs.el + +Please report any bugs in the CVS versions to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.
