Ubuntu12.04 compile emacs24.2

1. Download source code

Go to http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/gnu/emacs /. Download emacs-24.2.tar.gz and decompress it to the/user/local/lib folder.

2. install third-party Libraries

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-devsudo apt-get install libxpm-devsudo apt-get install libjpeg62-devsudo apt-get install libgif-devsudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev

3. Compile and install

Terminal: Enter the unzipped Emacs folder.

./configure

No problem.

make

Error:

Error: Expected unqualified-ID before '('token

The reason is the declaration conflict in a header file.

sudo gedit /usr/local/include/jmorecfg.h

Change the code around line 1 to the following:

#ifdef HAVE_BOOLEAN#ifndef FALSE/* in case these macros already exist */#define FALSE0/* values of boolean */#endif#ifndef TRUE#define TRUE1#endif#elsetypedef enum {false=0, true=1} boolean;#endif

Make it again!

Last run

Make install

4. Configuration File

I found a configuration file on the Internet and changed it slightly.
