The intlfonts distribution contains its own installation instructions,
in the intlfonts/README file.
-* elisp-manual-M.N.tar.gz
-
-This distribution contains the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual which
-complements the Emacs Manual. (The Emacs Manual is accessible from
-within the editor by typing "C-h i", then selecting the "Emacs" item
-from the menu, or by clicking "Help" in the menu bar and selecting
-"Read Emacs Manual".) It is a good idea to install the Emacs Lisp
-Reference Manual after installing Emacs, to complete the on-line
-documentation of Emacs in Info.
-
-If you have installed Texinfo, you can install the Emacs Lisp
-Reference Manual this way (after unpacking the elisp-manual-M.N.tar.gz
-file):
-
- cd elisp-manual-M.N
- ./configure --prefix=PREFIXDIR
- make install
-
-Otherwise, you can install it manually. Just copy the files elisp and
-elisp-* from the elisp-manual-M.N directory to your site's info
-directory (see the description of `infodir', below), and make sure
-that file `dir' in this directory contains an entry like this:
-
- * Elisp: (elisp). The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
-
* Image support libraries
Emacs needs optional libraries to be able to display images (with the
exception of PBM and XBM images whose support is built-in).
On some systems, particularly on GNU/Linux, these libraries may
-already be present or available as additional packages. If not, you
-can download and build them from sources. None of them are vital for
-running Emacs; however, note that Emacs will not be able to use color
-icons in the toolbar if the XPM support is not available.
+already be present or available as additional packages. Note that if
+there is a separate `dev' or `devel' package, for use at compilation
+time rather than run time, you will need that as well as the
+corresponding run time package; typically the dev package will
+contain header files and a library archive. Otherwise, you can
+download and build libraries from sources. None of them are vital for

+colored icons in the toolbar if XPM support is not compiled in.
Here's the list of these optional libraries, and the URLs where they
can be found:
. libXaw3d for fancy 3D-style
scroll bars: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/widgets/Xaw3d/
. libxpm for XPM: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/
+ Get version 3.4k or later, which lets Emacs
+ use its own color allocation functions.
. libpng for PNG: ftp://www.libpng.org/pub/png/
. libz (for PNG): http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
. libjpeg for JPEG: ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
+ Get version 6b -- 6a is reported to fail in
+ Emacs.
. libtiff for TIFF: http://www.libtiff.org/
. libungif for GIF:
http://prtr-13.ucsc.edu/~badger/software/libungif/index.shtml
configure should avoid such old versions. If that happens, use the
--without-LIB options to `configure'. See below for more details.
+* Extra fonts
+
+To take proper advantage of Emacs 21's mule-unicode charsets, you need
+a Unicode font. For information on Unicode fonts for X, see
+<URL:http://czyborra.com/unifont/>,
+<URL:http://openlab.ring.gr.jp/efont/> and
+<URL:http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/%7Emgk25/ucs-fonts.html>.
+<URL:http://czyborra.com/charsets/> has basic fonts for Emacs's
+ISO-8859 charsets.
+
+XFree86 release 4 (from <URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/> and mirrors)
+contains font support for most, if not all, of the charsets that Emacs
+supports. The font files should be usable separately with older X
+releases.
+
DETAILED BUILDING AND INSTALLATION:
just a matter of substitution.
The `configure' script is built from `configure.in' by the `autoconf'
-program. You need version 2.0 or newer of `autoconf' to rebuild `configure'.
+program. You need version 2.8 or newer of `autoconf' to rebuild
+`configure'.
BUILDING GNU EMACS BY HAND
(see below) will test for these utilities and will refuse to continue
if any of them isn't found.
+Recompiling Lisp files in the `lisp' subdirectory using the various
+targets in the lisp/Makefile file requires additional utilities:
+`find' and `xargs' (from Findutils), `touch' (from Fileutils) GNU
+`echo' and `test' (from Sh-utils), `tr, `sort', and `uniq' (from
+Textutils), and a port of Bash. However, you should not normally need
+to run lisp/Makefile, as all the Lisp files are distributed in
+byte-compiled form as well.
+
If you are building the MSDOG version of Emacs on an MSDOG-like system
which supports long file names (e.g. Windows 95), you need to make
sure that long file names are handled consistently both when you
should be able to find them in your djdevNNN.zip archive (where NNN is
the DJGPP version number).
+On Windows NT or Windows 2000, running "config msdos" might print an
+error message like "VDM has been already loaded". This is because
+those systems have a program called `redir.exe' which is incompatible
+with a program by the same name supplied with DJGPP, which is used by
+config.bat. To resolve this, move the DJGPP's `bin' subdirectory to
+the front of your PATH environment variable.

To install the international fonts, chdir to the intlfonts-X.Y
directory created when you unpacked the intlfonts distribution (X.Y is
the version number of the fonts' distribution), and type the following
HCoop / bpt / emacs.git / blobdiff
