Subject: bug#14407: Can't compile emacs trunk on Solaris 11
Date: Thu, 16 May 2013 20:59:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5195AB09.4030909@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <wotghai3s59k.fsf@oracle.com>

I tried to reproduce the problem on Solaris 10 sparc as well,
and can't do it.  I also tried building 32-bit Emacs
implementations, using "gcc -m32", and couldn't reproduce
the problem there either.

I did notice serious problems in your build log
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=compile-emacs-log.gz;att=1;bug=14407>;
pkg-config is repeatedly dumping core.  For example:

checking for alsa >= 1.0.0... ./configure: line 8975:   906 Killed                  "$PKG_CONFIG" --exists "$ALSA_MODULES" 2>&5
no

So my guess is that /opt/csw is part of the problem.
I suggest that you build without using /opt/csw, by
removing it from your PATH, and then rebuilding from
scratch.

The idea of bisecting is that you can use binary search to
find out the exact revision number that stopped working
for you.  It takes a bit of time, but it can be well worth
doing.

That should happen by default.  Just type "./configure; make"
in a fresh copy.  Make sure /opt/csw is not mentioned in your
environment, though: "printenv | grep /opt/csw" should output nothing.
