Provide builds for various Linux distros

Open jimeh opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

This is a decent bit off, as it first requires a build script for Linux.

The build-emacs-for-macos script used at the moment is macOS specific for obvious reasons. But I am planning a rewrite of it in Go, which allow me more flexibility, potentially opening the door for Linux support without too much effort. Time will tell.

Very minor update on some movement for Linux builds. I recently needed a nightly build of Emacs on a linux machine, and put together a very quick and dirty bash script. It did what I needed, but not much more.

It did inspire me to start putting some proper effort into a solution for Linux however, and as of now, I have made a start in a new repo (jimeh/evm). Once it gets to a working state, the outstanding tasks would be to to decide and implement a means of packaging the builds for various, yet to be determined, Linux distros.
