| | 5 | Building and Installing Emacs from Bazaar |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | If this is the first time you go through it, you'll need to configure |
| | 8 | before bootstrapping: |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | $ ./configure |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as |
| | 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": |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | $ bzr pull |
| | 17 | $ make bootstrap |
| | 18 | |
| | 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. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | $ make |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | (If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead |
| | 26 | of "make" in the last command.) |
| | 27 | |
| | 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 |
| | 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. |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | To update loaddefs.el (and similar files), do: |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | $ cd lisp |
| | 40 | $ make autoloads |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | If either of the above partial procedures fails, try "make bootstrap". |
| | 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. |
| | 45 | |
| | 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 |
| | 49 | applicable to those systems as well. |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | Because the Bazaar version of Emacs is a work in progress, it will |
| | 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. |
