Emacs-22.1

Introduction to Emacs

The Emacs package contains an extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor.

Install Emacs by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
            --localstatedir=/var &&
make bootstrap

This package does not come with a test suite.

--libexecdir=/usr/lib: Place library executables in a Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) location.
