| 7ee43737 | 5 | Emacs for Windows |
| 31098a38 | 6 | |
| 31098a38 | 7 | This README file describes how to dump a bare precompiled version of GNU |
| 7ee43737 | 8 | Emacs for Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows 95/98/Me. This distribution |
| 31098a38 AI |
9 | supplements the standard dumped precompiled distribution of Emacs, which |
| 10 | you can download from: | |
| 11 | ||
| 6e3645dc | 12 | ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ |
| 31098a38 AI |
13 | |
| 14 | If you do not have the "bin" distribution, then you will need to | |
| 15 | download it before you can use this undumped version. Also note that | |
| 16 | you should only need to dump Emacs yourself if you want to dump Emacs | |
| 17 | with more elisp files than are included normally, or to rebuild Emacs | |
| 18 | after patching one of the elisp files that is preloaded. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | The dumping process consists of running a bare Emacs, loading up a | |
| 21 | number of general elisp files, and then creating a new Emacs executable | |
| 22 | preinitialized and ready to run. In the precompiled distributions, | |
| 23 | Emacs has already been dumped with the standard configuration. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | To dump Emacs, unpack this distribution into the directory created by | |
| 26 | unpacking the corresponding standard precompiled distribution. To | |
| 27 | verify that you unpacked in the proper place, check to make sure that | |
| 28 | you now have a temacs.exe file in the bin directory. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | Once you have unpacked this distribution, cd into the bin directory and | |
| 31 | run dump.bat. This will produce a new bin\emacs.exe executable for you | |
| 32 | to use (the original one is renamed to emacs.exe.orig; this is not | |
| 33 | overwritten if you run dump more than once). | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | For more information about running Emacs, read the README.W32 file that | |
| 36 | came with the standard dumped precompiled distribution. If you have | |
| 37 | problems with Emacs, including problems with dumping, send email to | |
| 7ee43737 | 38 | "help-emacs-windows@gnu.org". |
