Annotation of 43BSDReno/contrib/emacs-18.55/src/README, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: This directory contains the source files for the C component of GNU Emacs.
        !             2: Nothing in this directory is needed for using Emacs once it is built
        !             3: and installed, if the dumped Emacs (on Unix systems) or the Emacs
        !             4: executable and map files (on VMS systems) are copied elsewhere.
        !             5: 
        !             6: On Unix, building is controlled by a makefile called `xmakefile'
        !             7: that is generated with machine-dependent contents from `ymakefile'
        !             8: using `cpp'.  `Makefile' just invokes `cpp' to produce `xmakefile'
        !             9: and then runs `make' on `xmakefile'.
        !            10: 
        !            11: See the file VMSBUILD in this directory for instructions on compiling,
        !            12: linking and building Emacs on VMS.
        !            13: 
        !            14: The files `*.com' and `temacs.opt' are used on VMS only.
        !            15: The files `vlimit.h', `ioclt.h' and `param.h' are stubs to
        !            16: allow compilation on VMS with the minimum amount of #ifdefs.
        !            17: 
        !            18: `uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions.  This is only needed if
        !            19: you define READ_SYSUAF.  This should only be done for single-user
        !            20: systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
        !            21: either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
        !            22: world readable.  Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
        !            23: current user, but no one else.
        !            24: 
        !            25: `pwd.h' contains definitions for VMS to be able to correctly simulate
        !            26: `getpwdnam' and `getpwduid'.
