Installation of Emacs
Install Emacs by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite. If make succeeds, you
can test the result by running src/emacs -Q, which is the
program that will be installed, with its auxiliary files. This
should start and display the application opening screen.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/emacs/26.2
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor hierarchy and desktop
files into the /usr/share/applications hierarchy. You can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache
and /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. To
perform the update you must have GTK+-2.24.32 or GTK+-3.24.10
installed (for the icon cache) and desktop-file-utils-0.24 (for the
desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the root user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -t -f --include-image-data /usr/share/icons/hicolor &&
update-desktop-database
Command Explanations
--localstatedir=/var:
Create game score files in /var/games/emacs instead of /usr/var/games/emacs.
IMAGEMAGICK_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6
IMAGEMAGICK_LIBS="-lMagickCore-6.Q16HDRI -lMagick++-6.Q16HDRI
-lMagickWand-6.Q16HDRI" : use these when you invoke
configure if you have installed ImageMagick-6.9.10-60 libraries and
wish to link to them (the normal unversioned pkgconfig files
collide with ImageMagick-7.0.8-60 which this
package cannot use).
--with-gif=no: Use this if you have not
installed giflib-5.2.1 or libungif.
--with-tiff=no: Use this if you have
not installed LibTIFF-4.0.10.
--with-gnutls=no: Use this if you have
not installed GnuTLS-3.6.9.
