19Alternatively, you can configure Emacs with `--with-xim=no' to prevent
20the core dump, but will loose X input method support, of course. (You
21can use Emacs's own input methods instead, if you install Leim.)
22
23* Building Emacs with GCC 2.9x fails in the `src' directory.
24
25This may happen if you use a development version of GNU `cpp' from one
26of the GCC snapshots between Oct 2000 and Feb 2001, or from a released
27version of GCC newer than 2.95.2 which was prepared around those
28dates. The preprocessor in those versions expands ".." into ". .",
29which breaks relative file names that reference the parent directory.
30
31The solution is to make sure the preprocessor is run with the
32`-traditional' option. (The `configure' script does that
33automatically.)
34
35Note that this problem does not pertain to the MS-Windows port of
36Emacs, since it doesn't use the preprocessor to generate Makefiles.
