It depends on the tools you have around. Compiling it on out-of-the-box Solaris is probably still not that nice, but once I put the stuff onto Solaris I know I'm going to need anyway, it's as easy as falling off a log. Honestly I think it takes about 10 minutes to go from thinking "hmmm, wonder if there is a new version of Emacs out yet" to kicking off the build, and then less than five once it finishes to install it, clean up the build area etc. -- Chris Morgan http://mihalis.net
