Installation of Emacs
First, work around a portability bug in glibc 2.34, which no longer
defines SIGSTKSZ.
sed -e '/SIGSTKSZ/ s|^.*$|static max_align_t sigsegv_stack[\
(64 * 1024 + sizeof (max_align_t) - 1) / sizeof (max_align_t)];|' \
-i src/sysdep.c
Install Emacs by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
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/27.2
Note
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor
hierarchy and you can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme
. To
perform the update you must have GTK+-2.24.33 or
GTK+-3.24.30 installed and issue the following
command as the root
user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor
