Are the comments for emacs/Makefile
from today's CVS of 2004 Nov 10 12:51 UTC correct?
Currently, the comments say:
# make bootstrap-build
# Recompiles changed Emacs Lisp files using the latest C source,
# then rebuilds Emacs. This is faster than `make bootstrap'
# but once in a while an old .elc file can cause trouble.
#
# make bootfast
# Recompiles all the Emacs Lisp files using the latest source,
# then rebuilds Emacs.
but bootstrap-build is used by both bootstrap and bootfast
Should not the comments read like this:
# make bootstrap
# Recompile all Emacs Lisp files after first removing old .elc files,
# then rebuild Emacs.
# make bootfast
# Recompile new Emacs Lisp files using the latest source,
# then rebuild Emacs.
# This is faster than `make bootstrap'
# but once in a while an old .elc file can cause trouble.
# make -C lisp autoloads && cd lisp && make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs
# Recompile new Emacs Lisp files.
# Do not rebuild the Emacs C sources.
# Occasionally, an old .elc file causes trouble
# because it is used in the compilation of a new file.
# This is the quickest but least useful action.
# make maintainer-clean && make bootstrap
# Delete everything from the current directory that can be
# reconstructed with this Makefile
# except `configure' and anything needed to run `configure'.
# Then recompile Emacs Lisp files and rebuild Emacs.
# This is slower than `make bootstrap' alone.
# make distclean && ./configure && make bootstrap
# Delete all files from the current directory that are created by
# configuring or building the program.
# Configure. (Add options as desired; to discover the options, run
# `./configure --help' first.)
# Recompile Emacs Lisp files and build Emacs.
# This is slower than `make maintainer-clean && make bootstrap'
