By the time I get around to recompiling, I've usually forgotten all the bits needed to do it. I end up stumbling thru hitting problems and having to go looking for answers. And in general spended 5-6 times as much effort and time as it should take. But this time, I decided to keep all info gathered in one spot, well named so I can find it in a moment, and have it on hand when I compile emacs. If I live to compile emacs again (and at my age that is up for grabs) I hope to spend not a moment more than is needed. Something new happend compiling emacs 2 days ago. I got thru ./configure after a few downloads of missing stuff. ./configure ran thru without a hitch. I then ran "make bootstrap" to rebuild everything. And there it was uncovered that I had no "makeinfo". When usually if that is missing, I would have been made aware during ./configure and would install texinfo. I actually posted on this group about it. Thinking it might be considered a bug and asking if I should submit a bug report. > This page has some advice: > > https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5563354/how-to-know-which-library-a-specific-function-is-defined-in Wow, I hope not to have to go to those depths. but the answers in this thread will be a heck of a leg up, come compile time. Thx Eli, always good input.
