Installation of Emacs
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/28.2 &&
rm -vf /usr/lib/systemd/user/emacs.service
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
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+-3.24.36 installed and issue the following
command as the root user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor
