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.
