1 This directory contains the source files for the C component of GNU Emacs.
|
|
|
2 Nothing in this directory is needed for using Emacs once it is built
|
|
|
3 and installed, if the dumped Emacs (on Unix systems) or the Emacs
|
|
|
4 executable and map files (on VMS systems) are copied elsewhere.
|
|
|
5
|
|
|
6 See the files ../README and then ../INSTALL for installation instructions.
|
|
|
7
|
|
|
8 Under GNU and Unix systems, the file `Makefile.in' is used as a
|
|
|
9 template by the script `../configure' to produce `Makefile.c'. The
|
|
|
10 same script then uses `cpp' to produce the machine-dependent
|
|
|
11 `Makefile' from `Makefile.c'; `Makefile' is the file which actually
|
|
|
12 controls the compilation of Emacs. Most of this should work
|
|
|
13 transparently to the user; you should only need to run `../configure',
|
|
|
14 and then type `make'.
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 See the file VMSBUILD in this directory for instructions on compiling,
|
|
|
17 linking and building Emacs on VMS.
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19 The files `*.com' and `temacs.opt' are used on VMS only.
|
|
|
20 The files `vlimit.h', `ioclt.h' and `param.h' are stubs to
|
|
|
21 allow compilation on VMS with the minimum amount of #ifdefs.
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 `uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions. This is only needed if
|
|
|
24 you define READ_SYSUAF. This should only be done for single-user
|
|
|
25 systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
|
|
|
26 either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
|
|
|
27 world readable. Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
|
|
|
28 current user, but no one else.
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 `pwd.h' contains definitions for VMS to be able to correctly simulate
|
|
|
31 `getpwdnam' and `getpwduid'.
