CVS is pretty easy to learn, but to help you get started building emacs from CVS, here are the basic commands I use: $ cd /tmp $ mkdir emacsbuild $ cd emacsbuild $ export CVS_RSH=ssh $ cvs -z3 -d :ext:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs $ cd emacs $ ./configure $ make bootstrap $ su -c 'make install' Then, to try it out, just run /usr/local/bin/emacs. If the build fails, you can always replace the cvs command with cvs -z3 -d :ext:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co -D "2 days ago" emacs and keep trying larger values for the 2 in "2 days ago" until you get checkout one that builds. Hope this helps, -- Benjamin Rutt
