Like many, I saw the Emacs 21 announcement on slashdot. I checked out
the CVS tree, and was unable to build using the standard procedure:
./configure
make
...the build didn't understand how to create the .elc files.
Karl Fogel, a friend of mine who follows the emacs developers' list,
discovered that the key was to run 'make bootstrap'.
The bug here -- I think -- is that I found no mention of 'make
bootstrap' anywhere within the README or INSTALL. Another friend
prodded me to mail this issue to this address.
Apologies in advance if this is a known bug, or already fixed, or if
I'm just being stupid.
