I am wondering about compiling the latest developer version, maybe even daily. I do a daily update of org-mode from their git repository each day. I understand that compiling Emacs is much more than compiling just a major mode package. I tried to Google for any instructions on how to compile Emacs, but could not find any. I am also concerned about additional packages that come with the Ubuntu distribution of Emacs. Would I have to go and find all of them and compile them afterward as I now do for org-mode? Is it worth it? Should I stay with version 23? The version that I was able to obtain from the Emacs Bazaar repository is version 24. Anyway, I think that just a more recent version of 23 is adventurous enough. Thanks! -- Henri-Paul Indiogine Email: hindiogine@gmail.com Skype: hindiogine Website: http://www.coe.tamu.edu/~enrico
