8bb25908 | 6 | Building and Installing Emacs from Bazaar |
e0156c8d | 7 | |

8 | If this is the first time you go through it, you'll need to configure |
9 | before bootstrapping: | |
10 | ||
11 | $ ./configure | |
12 | ||
e0156c8d | 13 | Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as |
8bb25908 KF |
14 | byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in Bazaar. Therefore, to |
15 | build from Bazaar you must run "make bootstrap" instead of just "make": | |
e0156c8d | 16 | |
90412b21 | 17 | $ bzr pull |
e0156c8d EZ |
18 | $ make bootstrap |
19 | ||
8bb25908 KF |
20 | Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every |
21 | update from Bazaar. "make" should work in 90% of the cases and be | |
22 | much quicker. | |
e0156c8d | 23 | |
e0156c8d EZ |
24 | $ make |
25 | ||
26 | (If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead | |
27 | of "make" in the last command.) | |

29 | Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" (and similar automatically |
30 | generated files, such as esh-groups.el, and *-loaddefs.el in some | |
31 | subdirectories of lisp/, e.g. mh-e/ and calendar/) will need to be | |
32 | updated to reflect new autoloaded functions. If you see errors (rather | |
33 | than warnings) about undefined lisp functions during compilation, that | |
34 | may be the reason. Another symptom may be an error saying that | |
35 | "loaddefs.el" could not be found; this is due to a change in the way | |
8bb25908 KF |
36 | loaddefs.el was handled in version control, and should only happen |
37 | once, for users that are updating old sources. Finally, sometimes | |
38 | there can be build failures related to *loaddefs.el (e.g. "required | |
39 | feature `esh-groups' was not provided"). In that case, follow the | |
40 | instructions below. | |

41 | |
42 | To update loaddefs.el (and similar files), do: | |
93e3e16a MB |
43 | |
44 | $ cd lisp | |
e2401940 | 45 | $ make autoloads |
93e3e16a | 46 | |
10209171 | 47 | If either of the above partial procedures fails, try "make bootstrap". |
604f2fc0 GM |
48 | If CPU time is not an issue, the most thorough way to rebuild, and |
49 | avoid any spurious problems, is always to use this method. | |

51 | Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the |
52 | platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat, | |
53 | etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is | |
e2401940 | 54 | applicable to those systems as well. |

8bb25908 | 56 | Questions, requests, and bug reports about the Bazaar versions of Emacs |
893db5bc GM |
57 | should be sent to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org rather than gnu.emacs.help. |
58 | Ideally, use M-x report-emacs-bug RET. | |
58ec79cf | 59 | |
8bb25908 | 60 | Because the Bazaar version of Emacs is a work in progress, it will |
01d909e2 GM |
61 | sometimes fail to build. Please wait a day or so (and check the bug |
62 | and development mailing list archives) before reporting such problems. | |
63 | In most cases, the problem is known about and is just waiting for | |
64 | someone to fix it. | |
