Emacs configuration

Tested and working with emacs 26.3 and now testing on 28.1.

I manage my emacs configuration with GNU stow here. See README.org inside dot-emacs.d/ for the description of the configuration itself, which is described in literate org file. dot-emacs is auxiliary file created by changing some emacs faces.

Installing emacs 28.1 on Ubuntu 20.04

Loosely following this guide.

• Download the tarball from savannah
• install gcc-10, e.g. this guide
• use configure options tweaked from from ein debug templates:

./autogen.sh
./configure --build x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --enable-locallisppath=/etc/emacs --with-sound=alsa --without-gconf --with-mailutils --build x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-native-compilation --with-pop=yes --enable-locallisppath=/etc/emacs:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp --with-sound=alsa --without-gconf --with-mailutils --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-toolkit-scroll-bars 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/emacs-mEZBk7/emacs-26.3+1=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall' 'CPPFLAGS=-Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro'
make -j 3
make install
