* Compiling emacs in GNU linux systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs is available in all GNU-linux distributions. If you want to install emacs
|
|
directly from any free-software distribution, you may check [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html][this information]].
|
|
However, you may be interested in compiling emacs for your operational system.
|
|
|
|
To compile emacs it's important to install some development libraries before
|
|
downloading the emacs tarball.
|
|
|
|
Below there are options to compile emacs in debian-like free software
|
|
distributions
|
|
|
|
** Install ~build-essential~
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
|
sudo apt install build-essential
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
|
sudo apt update && sudo apt build-dep emacs
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Download emacs (tarball), extract and open the source directory
|
|
|
|
Visit the [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs website]]
|
|
|
|
Let's say you want to download emacs 28.2. You may use ~wget~ to download the
|
|
tarball:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
|
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-28.2.tar.gz
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
Then, extract the files and open a terminal within the main directory of the package.
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
|
tar xvfz emacs-28.2.tar.gz
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
Change the directory to the extracted files:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
|
cd emacs-28.2
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
** Execute the following commands in a terminal to begin with the process
|
|
|
|
Run the [[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/autogen.sh][autogen.sh]] script. The script should be inside the emacs directory.
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
Configure
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
Make the package and install in the system
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|

|
|
