. libxpm for XPM: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/
Get version 3.4k or later, which lets Emacs
use its own color allocation functions.
- . libpng for PNG: ftp://www.libpng.org/pub/png/
- . libz (for PNG): http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
+ . libpng for PNG: ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/
+ . libz (for PNG): http://www.zlib.net/
. libjpeg for JPEG: ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
Get version 6b -- 6a is reported to fail in
Emacs.
. libtiff for TIFF: http://www.libtiff.org/
. libungif for GIF:
- http://prtr-13.ucsc.edu/~badger/software/libungif/index.shtml
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/libungif
Ensure you get version 4.1.0b1 or higher of libungif -- a bug in
4.1.0 can crash Emacs.
* Extra fonts
-At first, Emacs does not include fonts and does not install them. You
-must do this yourself.
+The Emacs distribution does not include fonts and does not install
+them. You must do that yourself.
To take proper advantage of Emacs 21's mule-unicode charsets, you need
a suitable font. For `Unicode' (ISO 10646) fonts for X, see
-<URL:http://dvdeug.dhis.org/unifont.html> (packaged in Debian),
+<URL:http://czyborra.com/unifont/> (packaged in Debian),
<URL:http://openlab.ring.gr.jp/efont/> (packaged in Debian). (In
recent Debian versions, there is an extensive `misc-fixed' iso10646-1
in the default X installation.) Perhaps also see
<URL:http://czyborra.com/charsets/> has basic fonts for Emacs's
ISO-8859 charsets.
-XFree86 release 4 (from <URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/> and mirrors)
+XFree86 release 4 (from <URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/> and mirrors)
contains font support for most, if not all, of the charsets that Emacs
currently supports, including iso10646-1 encoded fonts for use with
the mule-unicode charsets. The font files should also be usable with
with minimal character repertoires, which can cause problems -- see
etc/PROBLEMS.
-BDF fonts etl-unicode.tar.gz used by ps-print and ps-mule to print
-Unicode characters are available from <URL:ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/fonts/>
-and <URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/X.Org/contrib/fonts/>.
+BDF Unicode fonts etl-unicode.tar.gz are available from
+<URL:ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/fonts/> and
+<URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/mirror/X.Org/contrib/fonts/>. These
+fonts can also be used by ps-print and ps-mule to print Unicode
+characters.
+
+Finally, the Web pages <URL:http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/index.html>
+and <URL:http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/resources.html> list a large
+number of free Unicode fonts.
* GNU/Linux development packages
To get more attractive menus, you can specify an X toolkit when you
configure Emacs; use the option `--with-x-toolkit=TOOLKIT', where
-TOOLKIT is `athena', `motif' or `gtk' (`yes' and `lucid' are synonyms for
-`athena'). On some systems, it does not work to use a toolkit with
-shared libraries. A free implementation of Motif, called LessTif, is
-available ftom <http://www.lesstif.org>. Compiling with LessTif or
-Motif causes a standard File Selection Dialog to pop up when you type
-"C-x C-f" and similar commands. You can get fancy 3D-style scroll
-bars, even without LessTif/Motif, if you have the Xaw3d library
-installed (see "Image support libraries" above for Xaw3d
+TOOLKIT is `athena', `motif' or `gtk' (`yes' and `lucid' are synonyms

+3D-style scroll bars, even without LessTif/Motif, if you have the
+Xaw3d library installed (see "Image support libraries" above for Xaw3d
availability).
If `--with-x-toolkit=gtk' is specified, you can tell configure where
to search for GTK by specifying `--with-pkg-config-prog=PATH' where
-PATH is the pathname to pkg-config. Note that GTK version 2.0 or
+PATH is the pathname to pkg-config. Note that GTK version 2.4 or
newer is required for Emacs.
The `--with-gcc' option specifies that the build process should
at the same time; in particular, you don't have to
make Emacs unavailable while installing a new version.
-`/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/site-lisp' holds the local Emacs Lisp
- files installed for Emacs version VERSION only.
-
-`/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp' holds the local Emacs Lisp
- files installed for all Emacs versions.
-
- When Emacs is installed, it searches for its Lisp files
- in `/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/site-lisp', then in
- `/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp', and finally in
- `/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/lisp'.
-
`/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/etc' holds the Emacs tutorial, the DOC
file, the `yow' database, and other
architecture-independent files Emacs might need while
`/usr/local/man/man1' holds the man pages for the programs installed
in `/usr/local/bin'.
+Any version of Emacs, whether installed or not, also looks for Lisp
+files in these directories.

If these directories are not what you want, you can specify where to
install Emacs's libraries and data files or where Emacs should search
for its Lisp files by giving values for `make' variables as part of
carry prominent notices stating who last changed them,
and that any new or changed statements about the activities
of the Free Software Foundation are approved by the Foundation.
