A new executable appeared in the src folder: emacs-26.0.50.2 And 'emacs' should be hard-linked to this new executable. > Is this the executable that I need to run to see the changes I made, or can I still run emacs-26.0.50.1? Neither. You call 'emacs', which is hard-linked to the latest emacs-26.0.50.N executable. The numbered executables are there for you to be able to invoke previous versions. > Generally speaking, whenever I make a change and rebuild, do I need to change the target file that I run > (emacs-26.0.50.2, .3, .4, etc.)? Not if your target is always 'emacs'.
