Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS
-update. Unless there are problems, we suggest the following
-procedure:
+update. Unless there are problems, we suggest using the following
+alternative procedure after you have done "make bootstrap" at least
+once:
$ ./configure
$ make
(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
of "make" in the last command.)
-Occasionally the files "lisp/loaddefs.el" or lisp/mh-e/mh-loaddefs.el
-will need be updated to reflect new autoloaded functions. If you see
-errors about undefined lisp functions during compilation, that may be
-the reason. Another symptom may be an error saying that "loaddefs.el"
-could not be found; this is due to a change in the way loaddefs.el was
-handled in CVS, and should only happen once, for users that are
-updating old CVS trees.
