After an initial "make install" a simple run of "make" in src will recompile and redump emacs, then copy this binary into the bundle. Changes in most lisp files that are preloaded will be picked up this way too. If you change a different lisp file, recompile it manually (M-x byte-compile-file) and copy that into the bundle (cp lisp/foo.elc nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/). There should never be a need to run a second "make install" for development or testing purposes. Note: this interferes with emacs make's strange way of numbering every build and docfile, and choking if they don't match up. The "remake" scripts distributed under emacs and emacs/src with Emacs.app before merge took care of this. Improvements to the Emacs.app configure and make system are welcome. emacs/remake: #!/bin/sh rm -f etc/DOC-* src/emacs-* make -j3 emacs/src/remake: #!/bin/sh rm -f ../etc/DOC-* emacs-* make -j3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-app-dev- mailing list Emacs-app-dev-@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emacs-app-dev-
