Well yes, sure. I build emacs from source usally a few times per
year... By the time I get around to recompiling, I've usually
forgotten all the bits needed to do it. I end up stumbling thru
hitting problems and having to go looking for answers.
And in general spended 5-6 times as much effort and time as it should
take.
But this time, I decided to keep all info gathered in one spot, well
named so I can find it in a moment, and have it on hand when I
compile emacs.
If I live to compile emacs again (and at my age that is up for grabs)
I hope to spend not a moment more than is needed.
Something new happend compiling emacs 2 days ago. I got thru
./configure after a few downloads of missing stuff. ./configure ran
thru without a hitch.
I then ran "make bootstrap" to rebuild everything. And there it was
uncovered that I had no "makeinfo". When usually if that is missing,
I would have been made aware during ./configure and would install texinfo.
I actually posted on this group about it. Thinking it might be
considered a bug and asking if I should submit a bug report.

Wow, I hope not to have to go to those depths. but the answers in
this thread will be a heck of a leg up, come compile time.
Thx Eli, always good input.
