If you do, please report -them; your bug reports are valuable contributions to the FSF, since -they allow us to notice and fix problems on machines we don't have, or -in code we don't use often. Please send bug reports to the mailing -list bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. If possible, use M-x report-emacs-bug. - -See the "Bugs" section of the Emacs manual for more information on how -to report bugs. (The file `BUGS' in this directory explains how you -can find and read that section using the Info files that come with -Emacs.) See `etc/MAILINGLISTS' for more information on mailing lists -relating to GNU packages. - -The `etc' subdirectory contains several other files, named in capital -letters, which you might consider looking at when installing GNU -Emacs. - -The file `configure' is a shell script to acclimate Emacs to the -oddities of your processor and operating system. It creates the file -`Makefile' (a script for the `make' program), which automates the -process of building and installing Emacs. See INSTALL for more -detailed information. - -The file `configure.in' is the input used by the autoconf program to -construct the `configure' script. Since Emacs has some configuration -requirements that autoconf can't meet directly, and for historical -reasons, `configure.in' uses an unholy marriage of custom-baked -configuration code and autoconf macros. If you want to rebuild -`configure' from `configure.in', you will need to install a recent -version of autoconf and GNU m4. - -The file `Makefile.in' is a template used by `configure' to create -`Makefile'. - -The file `make-dist' is a shell script to build a distribution tar -file from the current Emacs tree, containing only those files -appropriate for distribution. If you make extensive changes to Emacs, -this script will help you distribute your version to others. - -There are several subdirectories: - -`src' holds the C code for Emacs (the Emacs Lisp interpreter and - its primitives, the redisplay code, and some basic editing - functions). -`lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp code for Emacs (most everything else). -`leim' holds the library of Emacs input methods, Lisp code and - auxiliary data files required to type international characters - which can't be directly produced by your keyboard. -`lib-src' holds the source code for some utility programs for use by or - with Emacs, like movemail and etags. -`etc' holds miscellaneous architecture-independent data files Emacs - uses, like the tutorial text and tool bar images. - The contents of the `lisp', `leim', `info', and `doc' - subdirectories are architecture-independent too. -`info' holds the Info documentation tree for Emacs. -`doc/emacs' holds the source code for the Emacs Manual. If you modify the - manual sources, you will need the `makeinfo' program to produce - an updated manual. `makeinfo' is part of the GNU Texinfo - package; you need a suitably recent version of Texinfo. -`doc/lispref' holds the source code for the Emacs Lisp reference manual. -`doc/lispintro' holds the source code for the Introduction to Programming - in Emacs Lisp manual. -`msdos' holds configuration files for compiling Emacs under MSDOG. -`nextstep' holds instructions and some other files for compiling the - Nextstep port of Emacs, for GNUstep and Mac OS X Cocoa. -`nt' holds various command files and documentation files that pertain - to building and running Emacs on Windows 9X/ME/NT/2000/XP. -`test' holds tests for various aspects of Emacs's functionality. - - Building Emacs on non-Posix platforms requires tools that aren't part -of the standard distribution of the OS. The platform-specific README -files and installation instructions should list the required tools. - - -This file is part of GNU Emacs. - -GNU Emacs is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify -it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by -the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or -(at your option) any later version. - -GNU Emacs is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, -but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of -MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
