The "make bootstrap" is mentioned in passing a bit further down. I probably should not have thought that Emacs was like everything else, so I should have read all the various documents more carefully before plunging in the mindless "configure; make" cycle. Credits for the GNU organization for making it so - in the "good" old days, you had to read everything and adapt Makefiles carefullly before even thinking of typing make. I'll get back to testing the Aqua Emacs and keeping an eye on this list. -- Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Scandiatransplant Skejby Sygehus, indgang 3 +45 89 49 53 01 DK-8200 Århus N http://biobase.dk/~tra
