To build it from source first make sure you have the following packages installed build-essential xorg-dev libgtk2.0-dev libjpg-dev libgif-dev libtiff-dev then checkout latest code using cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs this will create an emacs directory and put the sources in it. in order to build it go in to the directory and issue ./configure make bootstrap make make install that's it. -- Nurullah Akkaya http://nakkaya.com --001485f5b0de841fcb046d2f760c Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 7:44 PM, Ben Badgley <mortecanine@peoplepc= .com> wrote:

I'm a simple 'go grab a .deb and install it' sort at this point= , although am getting better with using the console. So, please avoid sayin= g cvs or git, subversion. Have a friend coming over for the weekend who may= better explain that voodoo to me

2. Why did the Debian Emacs release come over as a bit hindered?

Noticed this on the Emacs Wiki threads about Emacs on Debian. It couldn'= ;t sort out what was where, or its version. There was some code to attempt = correcting it posted as well.

3. And will future Debian releases of Emacs be so?

Hope not on this end.




AFAIK for 23 your only change is to compile it y= our self but it is really easy.

To build it from source first make sure you have the following packages ins= talled

build-essential
xorg-dev
libgtk2.0-dev
libjpg-dev
libgif-dev
libtiff-dev

then checkout latest code using

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs
this will create an emacs directory and put the sources in it.

in order to build it go in to the directory and issue

./configure
make bootstrap
make
make install

that's it.
