Yes you need to, and yes it is silly. This extra step was put in as a result of the email thread starting here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-02/msg00012.html I preferred a simpler system where ./autogen.sh just works, without any extra steps, but I was outvoted. > Maybe I am wrong but INSTALL.REPO, which should contain the "more > details on building Emacs", does not document this nor the "git" > option for autogen.sh nor the other "all" option. Although INSTALL.REPO contains "more details", it shouldn't contain *all* details (as there are too many). It's not clear that this particular detail is worth recording in INSTALL.REPO. > Maybe I am only adopting the wrong procedure to build Emacs Yes, as you used a procedure that is not recommended in INSTALL.REPO. You would have avoided the './install.sh git' glitch if you had run plain 'make', or had run './autogen.sh all', which are the two methods that INSTALL.REPO suggests.
