Why didn't they get built? Beats me! They are not in the CVS tree, and since your previous bootstrap failed, they were not built. > And, as instructed, I tried to do the "make bootstrap"; got this: > > 275 ==/big7.1/sources-stuff-2/emacs-21.3==> > 275 ==/big7.1/sources-stuff-2/emacs-21.3==> make bootstrap > (cd src; make mostlyclean) > [Please ignore a syntax error on the next line - it is intentional] Where did that message come from? The only place I can find it in the CVS is in the nt/gmake.defs file, which should be only used on Windows. Are you building this on Windows? If so, you need to follow the Windows installation instructions in nt/INSTALL, except that you should say "make bootstrap" instead of just "make". > Huh?: "make[1]: *** No rule to make target `mostlyclean'. Stop." Probably because you didn't run nt/configure.bat, and so there's no Makefile in the `src' directory. > Hey, cvs-maintainers, do I *really* have to hack this Makefile, No, you don't. > fix bugs in it? What bugs? ;-)
