8bb25908 | 5 | Building and Installing Emacs from Bazaar |
e0156c8d | 6 | |

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

28 | Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" (and similar automatically |
29 | generated files, such as esh-groups.el, and *-loaddefs.el in some | |
30 | subdirectories of lisp/, e.g. mh-e/ and calendar/) will need to be | |
31 | updated to reflect new autoloaded functions. If you see errors (rather | |
32 | than warnings) about undefined lisp functions during compilation, that | |
6c3ab469 GM |
33 | may be the reason. Finally, sometimes there can be build failures |
34 | related to *loaddefs.el (e.g. "required feature `esh-groups' was not | |
35 | provided"). In that case, follow the instructions below. | |
7aceaab5 GM |
36 | |
37 | To update loaddefs.el (and similar files), do: | |
93e3e16a MB |
38 | |
39 | $ cd lisp | |
e2401940 | 40 | $ make autoloads |
93e3e16a | 41 | |
10209171 | 42 | If either of the above partial procedures fails, try "make bootstrap". |
604f2fc0 GM |
43 | If CPU time is not an issue, the most thorough way to rebuild, and |
44 | avoid any spurious problems, is always to use this method. | |

46 | Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the |
47 | platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat, | |
48 | etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is | |
e2401940 | 49 | applicable to those systems as well. |
e0156c8d | 50 | |
8bb25908 | 51 | Because the Bazaar version of Emacs is a work in progress, it will |
01d909e2 GM |
52 | sometimes fail to build. Please wait a day or so (and check the bug |
53 | and development mailing list archives) before reporting such problems. | |
54 | In most cases, the problem is known about and is just waiting for | |
55 | someone to fix it. | |
