Annotation of 43BSDReno/contrib/emacs-18.55/src/README, revision 1.1.1.1

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'.
