* BUILDING EMACS
To build Emacs in the MPW Shell, simply set the directory to
comment in makefile.MPW to enable the -opt speed or -sym on option
(see note below).
-The Mac version requires compiled Lisp files to be present in the lisp
-directory to run properly. It is cumbersome to bootstrap from only
-the Lisp source files. One way of getting the compiled Lisp files is
-to build Emacs once on, say, a Unix system and transfer that directory
-to the Mac. Note that linefeed conversion must be disabled when
-transferring compiled Lisp files.
-
-An alternative is to unzip and untar the archive lisp-elc.tgz. An
-older version of frame.elc in the archive may cause a problem when the
-Mac version starts up. If this is the case, simply remove or rename
-that file. Then once Emacs runs, you can invoke
-byte-recompile-directory on the lisp directory to byte-compile all
-out-of-date Lisp files.
-
-You may also need to run update-autoloads-from-directories on the lisp
-directory to bring loaddefs.el up-to-date.

* NOTES
Emacs should build and run on a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.1 - 9.0.
When Emacs is built with "-opt speed" enabled in makefile.MPW,
optimization causes the functions reset_buffer_local_variables in
-buffer.c and syms_of_lread in lread.c to crash. Avoid this by
-enclosing them in the following pragmas.
+buffer.c, syms_of_lread in lread.c, and x_draw_hollow_cursor in
+macterm.c to crash. Avoid this by enclosing them in the following
+pragmas.
