Hm. Got to revisit the instructions, there. I tried that first, it gives even more errors, but then noticed that the info file says explicitly to do it from `tramp/lisp' But it was as you guessed.. It needed `gmake'. I forgot that the various bsds don't always use gnu stuff by default like linux distros do. And of course, I went ahead and byte compiled by hand, so not a serious problem in any event. > But I think that your problem is that the Makefile wants a GNU make. > So try "gmake" instead of "make".

I agree it should be done even if it becomes part of both emacs varieties, because people are still likely to use tramp cvs, and want to keep it separate. If you gave me a brief outline of what is supposed to happen (I mean generally, just from off the top of your head) I may be able to figure out the rest and get it done. That little section of the info manual does seem to indicate the `lisp' directory, but probably only fooled a few people. If I patch the small info error against the current cvs, should I just post the patch here or send it somewhere else? |
