Subject: Accessible "building from source" instructions
Date: Sun, 26 May 2019 02:34:17 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b3a50bdd-3dca-cedf-9532-74c1bb0e14fd@yandex.ru> (raw)
I've been looking for a simple instructions to point users to, so
anybody can try building an Emacs 27 snapshot.
Here's the closest official URL I could find:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/CONTRIBUTE
The script at the top should be a good starting point, but it does more
than just "build and run Emacs from scratch".
In particular, it changes the user's Git configuration. And if somebody
just copy-pastes in into their terminal, it will bork their global Git
config. So how about we remove those lines, or move them to a separate
section?
Or is there a better page I can link to?
