2. Build Overview

build supports the building process of the XEmacs editor from its sources.

The build process consists of following steps:

  1. Download source code from FTP server or CVS repository.

  2. Configure any attributes of the build process, of the resulting XEmacs executable, and of the XEmacs environment.

  3. Start the make process to build XEmacs, install it, and run the regression tests.

  4. Report on the success or failure of the build, using build-report.

The build command generates a widget-based interface to configure and build XEmacs either using GNU Tools (configure, make) or Microsoft Tools (nmake with command-line options (<= 21.2-b32) or `config.inc' configuration file (> 21.2-b32)).
