It’s a shame most distros are still rocking emacs 27 and not including libgccjit makes installing 28+ a pain on windows.

  On Ubuntu there is a snap available shipping Emacs 28 including native compilation turned on: https://github.com/alexmurray/emacs-snap https://github.com/alexmurray/emacs-snap I am using it as a daily driver for months already without issues so far.

  Maybe the buntus are lagging behind in Emacs. I think most others have 28 in their releases.

  Debian has 28 in unstable, looks like there are some issues to fix before it can reach bookworm. https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=emacs https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=emacs

    I used to build my own emacs, but after being annoyed with it breaking after each upgrade on unstable, I use the emacs-snapshot repo on http://emacs.secretsauce.net/ http://emacs.secretsauce.net/ with bleeding edge packages for Debian sid.

  If you're on a distro which doesn't have Emacs 28+, one option is to pick it up from guix.

  On Windows it's very easy: Download from https://github.com/kiennq/emacs-build/releases https://github.com/kiennq/emacs-build/releases Unzip into a folder of your liking, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Emacs would be a sensible start

  What functionality in 28 do you need that 27 lacks? (curious)
  • fanf2 4y ago
    libgccjit for faster elisp

      I think that native JSON support is also in 28. It helps lsp.

        That was added in 27.
