GNU/Linux distribution that you use, and the options that you want to
configure Emacs with. On Debian-based systems, you can install all the
packages needed to build the installed version of Emacs with a command
-like `apt-get build-dep emacs23'.
+like `apt-get build-dep emacs23'. On Red Hat systems, the
+corresponding command is `yum-builddep emacs'.
DETAILED BUILDING AND INSTALLATION:
Use --without-sound to disable sound support.
+Use --with-wide-int to implement Emacs values with the type 'long long',
+even on hosts where a narrower type would do. With this option, on a
+typical 32-bit host, Emacs integers have 62 bits instead of 30.

The `--prefix=PREFIXDIR' option specifies where the installation process
should put emacs and its data files. This defaults to `/usr/local'.
- Emacs (and the other utilities users run) go in PREFIXDIR/bin
in `./lib-src' to their final destinations, as selected in `./src/epaths.h'.
Strictly speaking, not all of the executables in `./lib-src' need be copied.
-- The programs `fakemail', `hexl', `movemail', `profile', `rcs2log',
- and `vcdiff' are used by Emacs; they do need to be copied.
