Hi folks! I just completed this literate org-mode on how to build Emacs. It’s “literate” because I try my best not to hard-code anything in the document, and if you turn off all org-babel caching, it will actually build GNU Emacs on either Debian or RedHat systems. This org document is also somewhat interesting, because with a few tweaks it can either generate a document that describes how to build Emacs on RedHat or Debian systems.
I’m presenting the techniques I used to make this document at the SeaGL conference in a few days, and I’m seeking feedback from folks on the document. In particular:
- Is any the elisp code I wrote in the doc dumb or wrong?
- Did I get anything technically wrong with org-mode? Did I miss something obvious? Could I do something better?
- Did I poorly explain anything in the actual content of the document on how to build GNU Emacs from source?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Cool, I’ll check it out! Impressive amount of work I can tell already.
