Emacs-24.4

Introduction to Emacs

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

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7 platform.

Install Emacs by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr         \
            --with-gif=no         \
            --localstatedir=/var  &&
make bootstrap

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install &&
chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/emacs/24.4

If you have GTK+-2.24.26 or GTK+-3.14.8 installed, run, as root user:

gtk-update-icon-cache -qf /usr/share/icons/hicolor

--with-gif=no: This option is required if libungif is not installed.

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

--localstatedir=/var: Create game score files in /var/games/emacs instead of /usr/var/games/emacs.
