This file describes various problems that have been encountered
in compiling, installing and running GNU Emacs.
+* Building Emacs with GCC 2.9x fails in the `src' directory.
+
+This may happen if you use a development version of GNU `cpp' from one
+of the GCC snapshots between Oct 2000 and Feb 2001, or from a released
+version of GCC newer than 2.95.2 which was prepared around those
+dates. The preprocessor in those versions expands ".." into ". .",
+which breaks relative file names that reference the parent directory.
+
+The solution is to make sure the preprocessor is run with the
+`-traditional' option. (The `configure' script does that
+automatically.)
+
+Note that this problem does not pertain to the MS-Windows port of
+Emacs, since it doesn't use the preprocessor to generate Makefiles.
+
* Building the MS-Windows port with Cygwin GCC can fail.
Emacs may not build using recent Cygwin builds of GCC, such as Cygwin

can use Emacs's own input methods instead, if you install Leim.)
