Assuming that the advice in INSTALL-CVS is sound, why would the target below, added to the Makefile (or rather Makefile.in) in the top directory, not work? cvs: $(MAKE) (cd lisp; $(MAKE) recompile EMACS=../src/emacs) $(MAKE) (cd man; $(MAKE)) then INSTALL-CVS could advise: $ ./configure $ make cvs after an update.
