Linked with my previous problems getting an earlier version to load
my .emacs file, I have upgraded to a newer version available from a
cygwin mirror. Now it looks as though it is trying to load my .emacs
but having troubles when it tries to set the major mode.
When I try M-x outline-mode, I get the following error:
Couldn't open load file: easy-mmode
I've tried searching for help on this but found nothing - is there
another component that I need to find?
Thanks
Paul

No ELisp file should be missing (but there were problems with this
file and the NS version of GNU Emacs *23* when building it). Are you
sure that you do *not* have a mixture of a few Emacsen? Does it cost
you much money to download up-to-date GNU Emacs 22.2? Is it too
complicated to create a new directory in which you can out-pack the
GNU Emacs 22.2 archive? You'll have a clean start ... (which might
imply less problems)

Peter
you're right of course, I was being lazy and slightly apprehensive
about compiling under cygwin and took the 'easy' route of downloading
a pre-packaged higher version. I'm compiliing 22.2 now and I'll update
once that's done.
Cheers
Paul

Nothing's ever simple, is it? I ran configure all ok, then make. it
has now hung. My Task Manager has an 'emacs.exe' process taking up 50%
of my CPU and plenty of memory. The last command shown by make was:
EMACSLOADPATH=/home/paul/emacs-22.2/leim/../lisp LC_ALL=C ../src/emacs
-batch --no-init-file --no-site-file --multibyte -l /home/paul/
emacs-22.2/leim/../lisp/international/titdic-cnv \
-f batch-titdic-convert -dir quail /home/paul/emacs-22.2/
leim/CXTERM-DIC; \
echo "changed" > changed.tit
If I try to run src/emacs from another console it also hangs.

This looks as if GNU Emacs wasn't built completely yet, as if make is
still byte-compiling ELisp files. You can compile a new Emacs inside
an old Emacs. The *compilation* buffer will signal in its mode-line
whether compilation has finished or it's still continuing.
A 'make bootstrap' on my Mac with GNU Emacs 23 can take *hours*
(PowerPC with 1 GHz, mediocre disk)! And during this time the CPU
works at around 100 % of its power. With multi-core CPUs you can
invoke 'make -j' to try to make use of all cores. (Add '-l <float>'
to limit load to 3.75 or whatever is appropriate. In summer.)
BTW, I never compiled GNU Emacs in MS Windows or in Cygwin.

Thanks Peter, I think compiling emacs within emacs is beyond my
(current) level of competence, but I will re-run make and give it the
rest of the day to complete. I didn't think it would be such a long
task, since compiling stuff like Linux kernels is much shorter.
Cheers

Open in dired the directory with the Emacs sources.
Type M-x compile RET.
Change the default command (probably make -k) to "./configure <your
choices>" RET.
(you might like to save the *compilation* buffer from the
configure step)
Type M-x compile RET again.
Add to the default command a "bootstrap" target and press RET.
(you might like to save the *compilation* buffer from the
compilation step)
Hours later you could again type M-x compile RET, but change the
default command to "sudo make install" RET ...

> Thanks - after writing my last post I decided that I should find out how to
do this, so it's currently exercising my CPU from within emacs. I just ran
the default make -k. What does the 'bootstrap' part do? I can't find it in
the help for make.

It also byte-compiles ELisp files. After a successful 'make
bootstrap' GNU Emacs can be installed.
Some documentation can be found in the INSTALL file and inside Emacs
documentation.
