You need to clone the git repository: git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git /path/to/your/local/org/mode/git/repository before you can use the update target in the Makefile, which just does a git pull before remaking: ,---- | ... | update: | git pull | ${MAKE} clean | ${MAKE} all | ... `---- Note that the /path/to/your/local/org/mode/git/repository must not exist beforehand: it is created by the cloning process. And, of course, you need to have git installed. Nick
