    6: This directory contains the source files for the C component of GNU Emacs.
    7: Nothing in this directory is needed for using Emacs once it is built
    8: and installed, if the dumped Emacs (on Unix systems) or the Emacs
    9: executable and map files (on VMS systems) are copied elsewhere.
   10: 
   11: See the files ../README and then ../INSTALL for installation instructions.
   12: 
   13: Under GNU and Unix systems, the file `Makefile.in' is used as a
   14: template by the script `../configure' to produce `Makefile.c'.  The
   15: same script then uses `cpp' to produce the machine-dependent
   16: `Makefile' from `Makefile.c'; `Makefile' is the file which actually
   17: controls the compilation of Emacs.  Most of this should work
   18: transparently to the user; you should only need to run `../configure',
   19: and then type `make'.
   20: 
   21: See the file VMSBUILD in this directory for instructions on compiling,
   22: linking and building Emacs on VMS.
   23: 
   24: The files `*.com' and `temacs.opt' are used on VMS only.
   25: The files `vlimit.h', `ioclt.h' and `param.h' are stubs to
   26: allow compilation on VMS with the minimum amount of #ifdefs.
   27: 
   28: `uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions.  This is only needed if
   29: you define READ_SYSUAF.  This should only be done for single-user
   30: systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
   31: either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
   32: world readable.  Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
   33: current user, but no one else.
