Precompiled Distributions of
|
|
Emacs for Windows
|
|
|
|
Jan 14, 2021
|
|
|
|
This directory contains precompiled distributions for GNU Emacs on
|
|
Windows
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT LEGAL REMINDER
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
If you want to redistribute any of the precompiled distributions of
|
|
Emacs, be careful to check the implications of the GPL. For instance,
|
|
if you put the compiled file from this directory on an Internet site,
|
|
you must arrange to distribute the source files of the SAME version.
|
|
|
|
Making a link to our copy of the source is NOT sufficient, since we
|
|
might upgrade to a new version while you are still distributing the
|
|
old binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows Binaries
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Currently, we provide three different binary packages for Emacs, which
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
emacs-$VERSION-installer.exe
|
|
|
|
Contains Emacs with dependencies as an installer
|
|
package. Mostly, this is the best one to install.
|
|
|
|
emacs-$VERSION.zip
|
|
|
|
Contains Emacs with dependencies. This contains the same files as the
|
|
installer but as a zip file which some users may prefer.
|
|
|
|
emacs-$VERSION-no-deps.zip
|
|
|
|
Contains Emacs without any dependencies. This may be useful if you
|
|
wish to install where the dependencies are already available, or if
|
|
you want the small possible Emacs.
|
|
|
|
In addition, we provide the following files which will not be useful
|
|
for most end-users.
|
|
|
|
emacs-$VERSION-deps.zip
|
|
|
|
The dependencies. Unzipping this file on top of
|
|
emacs-$VERSION-no-deps.zip should result in the same install as
|
|
emacs-$VERSION.zip.
|
|
|
|
emacs-$VERSION-deps-mingw-w64-src.zip
|
|
|
|
The source for the dependencies. Source for Emacs itself is available
|
|
in the main distribution tarball. These dependencies were produced
|
|
from an updated msys2 at the point of the first pre-test. It is not
|
|
intended that these will be updated after that point.
|
|
|
|
Source for Emacs itself is found in the directory above.
|
|
|
|
Snapshots
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
We also distribute "snapshots" of Emacs built at points throughout the
|
|
development cycle, for those interested in following this cycle. They
|
|
are not recommended for normal users; however, they are useful for
|
|
people who want to report bugs against the current master.
|
|
|
|
The files follow the same naming convention, but also include a date
|
|
(and sometimes information about their branch). The Emacs source at
|
|
the time of these builds is also distributed.
