bug#9960: Compiling Emacs trunk with MSVC

bug#9960: Compiling Emacs trunk with MSVC

[Eli Zaretskii]

See

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-12/msg00213.html

and the rest of that thread for the initial discussion and patches by
Fabrice.

The essence of this bug report is that Emacs development trunk does
not compile with latest versions of MSVC.

What follows is discussion of some of the changes suggested by
Fabrice, including the description of how they were adapted to the
current trunk, and the diffs that will be actually committed shortly.

> +#ifdef _MSC_VER

>    enum symbol_redirect redirect : 3;
> +#endif

I used a macro ENUM_BF, shamelessly stolen from GDB, to work around
this and other similar issues with enumerated types in bitfields.
This solution was suggested by the discussion in the above thread.

This was fixed by hiding the use of $patsubst in nt/gmake.defs, so
only a build that uses GNU Make will see that.

These and other similar changes were added, but conditioned on
_MSC_VER, so as to avoid any possible adverse effects on MinGW builds,
since we are in a pretest.  (I don't see any adverse effects, but I'd
like to err on the safe side.)

Again, added only for MSVC, for the same reasons.

I didn't do anything with this issue.  Fabrice wrote further down the

One possibility of a "better solution" would be to use only forward
slashes in user_cflags, as nt/INSTALL already tells.  Fabrice, will
this work with MSVC?  We already use "-I../something", so I hope this
can be the solution.

Moved to src/s/ms-w32.h, as Emacs uses ssize_t in other places now.

I don't see a clean and safe way of incorporating this into
configure.bat.  Instead, I added some text to nt/INSTALL telling
people to run SetEnv.cmd as appropriate, with the above 2 lines as
examples.  I hope this is sufficient; we already had a similar advice
there for Visual Studio .NET.

I don't understand why is this necessary, especially since nmake.defs
already adds these flags to CFLAGS.  So I didn't add these flags.

I don't see any problem here, so I didn't make this change.  If there
is a real problem, please explain what it is.

I modified EMACS_EXTRA_C_FLAGS accordingly, instead of introducing
XCFLAGS.

I made these changes, but left the old SYS_LDFLAGS as a comment, in
case older versions of MSVC don't grok the new switches.

Likewise.

I modified nmake.defs to define USE_CRT_DLL=1 unconditionally, I hope
this will take care of that.

The actual diffs I'm about to commit are below.  Fabrice, I'd
appreciate if you could check out the latest trunk, after these are
committed, and test it.  I attach the diffs below in case you would
want to try this on the version on which you worked a year ago
(because a lot has been changed in Emacs since then, and maybe the new
stuff needs further patches).

Thanks in advance.

I tried building with Visual Studio 2008 (Express Edition) and the build 
fails:

This is caused by `inline' keyword, which should be `__inline' for MSVC. 
I don't see any place where this would be defined for the W32 build. Am 
I missing something?

Yes. Better. Thanks.

Then it can't find a definition of `mode_t' in `strmode'.

Actually, it's better to say

 #ifdef _MSC_VER
 typedef unsigned short mode_t;
 #endif

since that is how MS headers define it in their sys/stat.h.

Why not

  #ifdef _MSC_VER
  #include "sys/stat.h"
  #endif

?

Because at least some versions of Microsoft's stat.h don't define
mode_t, but instead use "unsigned short" literally in `struct stat'
definition.

This works.

Next problem:

emacsclient.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __environ
obj/i386/emacsclient.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\

Stop.

A similar problem is described here
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel/84654, but
removing our extern declaration does not fix the problem as it did for them.

Also, `environ' has been deprecated since VS2005, see

Thank, but see my followup, with a better (and more correct) variant.

No idea about this one.  Seems to be the consequence of using -D_MT in
the compiler flags, but that was suggested by Fabrice, and I really
don't know why is that important, or even what does it do, exactly.
Does it work if you remove -D_MT from EMACS_EXTRA_C_FLAGS in
nt/nmake.defs?

Anyway, can you work around this somehow and get to compiling Emacs
itself?  That's the important thing here, not lib-src programs, with
all due respect I have to them.

Btw, if you mean this one:

  /* Send over our environment and current directory. */
  if (!current_frame)
    {
      extern char **environ;
      int i;
      for (i = 0; environ[i]; i++)
        {
          send_to_emacs (emacs_socket, "-env ");
          quote_argument (emacs_socket, environ[i]);
          send_to_emacs (emacs_socket, " ");
        }

then it was there since 2005, so Fabrice's build somehow succeeded to
get past it.  Some factor other than the declaration is at work here.
Maybe I goofed in my changes in nmake.defs.  Hopefully, someone or
Fabrice himself will figure this out.

No. The error remains after removing -D_MT.

I will try. I might just have to remove the lib-src stuff from the make
process.

OK. So I removed emacsclient from the build process and we can move on.

Next error:

nmake does not like the relative path invocation of make-docfile with
forward slashes (makefile.w32-in, l.235)

"../lib-src/$(BLD)/make-docfile" -d . -g $(SOME_MACHINE_OBJECTS) $(obj) > gl-tmp

If I hardcode this to 

"..\\lib-src\\obj\\i386\\make-docfile" -d . -g $(SOME_MACHINE_OBJECTS)
$(obj) > gl-tmp

it works. We might have to use forward slashes here and change BLD accordingly?

Then we get to emacs.c:

I am starting to wonder how Fabrice ever got this to compile. Are all of
these errors due to changes made between his original patch and the
current trunk state?

Why?? even cmd.exe is in peace with forward slashes, as long as they
are in quotes.  What is the error message? are you sure the problem is
with forward slashes, and not with something else?  If the problem is
with forward slashes, how come invocations of make-docfile and other
commands in lib-src/makefile.w32-in, which also use forward slashes,
did work?

Are you sure you are using nmake that came with the version of Studio
that you are using to compile, and not some ancient version?

That way lies madness.  This worked with nmake for ages.  We cannot
possibly change all slashes in all the makefile's, I don't even know
any portable method of doing that, without breaking builds with a
Unixy shell, which we also support.

We must to get to the bottom of this problem.

Is the problem with Lisp_Object or with intmax_t?  (You can find out
if you change each one to some standard type, like `int'.)

These all are about DEFUN.  The only thing I changed in the definition
provided by Fabrice was to add "static" here:

  +#define DEFUN(lname, fnname, sname, minargs, maxargs, intspec, doc)    \
  +   Lisp_Object fnname DEFUN_ARGS_ ## maxargs ;                         \
  +   static DECL_ALIGN (struct Lisp_Subr, sname) =                       \
      ^^^^^^
Please remove the "static" part and see if that helps.

No idea. I will dig into this some more.

Yes. nmake from VS2008 Express, I checked.

I agree. It seems very strange.

intmax_t was missing, see my other email.

No. Did not help. See my other email for a potential source of problem.

Great.  Does it need to be $(THISDIR) or can it be a literal "."?  The
latter is shorter and easier to understand, if it works.

cl.exe does not like the shift operator in this statement:

static int __declspec(align(1 << 3)) test = 1;

whereas 

static int __declspec(align(8)) test = 1;

works. 

The above is a simple test case to confirm the fault is in this
code in lisp.h, l.172:

#  elif defined(_MSC_VER)
#   define DECL_ALIGN(type, var) \
     type __declspec(align(1 << GCTYPEBITS)) var

That comes from Fabrice, assuming that removing `static' doesn't help.

Does it fail even if you take (1 << 3) in one more level of
parentheses?

What about an intermediate macro, as in

 #define FOO (1 << GCTYPEBITS)
 static int __declspec(align(FOO)) test = 1;

?

Does this go away if you add "#define snprintf _snprintf" to
src/s/ms-w32.h, for MSVC only?

These are because xdisp.c defines window_box_right `inline'.  (This is
an optimized build, right? if not, does it mean that MSVC inlines
functions even for a non-optimized builds?)  I would suggest to make
that `inline' conditional on _MSC_VER being undefined.

> temacs2.lib(xdisp.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _strtoimax referenced in function _message_log_check_duplicate

Add "#define strtoimax _strtoi64" to src/s/ms-w32.h, conditioned on
_MSC_VER.

> libgnu.lib(strftime.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _tzname

Make this (from src/s/ms-w32.h):

  #if !defined (_MSC_VER) || (_MSC_VER < 1400)
  #define tzname    _tzname

be defined unconditionally.  (But leave the "utime" part under the
same condition it is today.)

Not working. I tried all of these cases in my simple example. It does
seem to like the shift operator.

According to my references, 0xc0000135 means "DLL not found".  Can you
try to find out which DLL is that?  Perhaps run `depends' on
temacs.exe and see which DLLs are flagged as not available (note that
1 or 2 are normally absent, you can google them to find out).

I guess Fabrice will have to figure this out.  I'm puzzled how it
worked for him a year ago.

Please install the 1st and the 3rd of these 3.  I'm about to start a
discussion regarding the 2nd one.

How about using _get_tzname to set up our own private array akin to
tzname[]?  Here's the plan:

 . in src/s/ms-w32.h, "#define tzname msvc_tzname" (for _MSC_VER >= 1400)

 . in w32.c:sys_localtime, when _MSC_VER >= 1400, call _get_tzname
   twice to populate tzname[] with 2 values as expected

 . reinstate HAVE_TZNAME for MSVC

Does this work, i.e. link without errors?

Thanks.

Ok. I have to admit that it does not work this way with msvc. Actually, I
can't find a way to make
cl.exe compute the (1<< GCTYPEBITS) before giving it to the align
declaration. At least not with the current release of cl.exe
(16.00.40219.01). I can't check about the previous ones I may have used.

Our best bet is to use a construction like :

#define GCTYPEBITS 4
#if (1<<GCTYPEBITS) == 2
#define ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS 2
#elif (1<<GCTYPEBITS) == 4
#define ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS 4
#elif (1<<GCTYPEBITS) == 8
#define ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS 8
#else
#error Define ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS
#endif

static int __declspec(align(ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS)) test = 1;

void main (int argc, char *argv[]) { }

Sorry but I don't see a shorter answer for the moment.

(Looking into other issues ... and yes I compiled it, I'm using my own
version every day :-) )

So you are saying that __declspec(align(1 << GCTYPEBITS)) surely did
work for you with some other version of MSVC?

Will this work:

  #define ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS 8
  #if (1 << GCTYPEBITS) != ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS
  #error ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS is wrong!
  #endif
  #define DECL_ALIGN(type, var) \
       type __declspec(align(ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS)) var

Since all this is needed for MSVC alone, we could then move the
ALIGN_GCTYPEBITS definition to src/s/ms-w32.h and leave only the rest
in lisp.h.  WDYT?

Sure. feel free to adapt on the basis of the attached patch.
Status is :
- completely functional 32 bits version with xpm, gif, jpeg, tiff. Able to
boostrap itself.
- the 64 bits version compiles and dumps, but fails to bootstrap (seems to
be looping inside elisp code).

Is there any interest in having a 64bits windows emacs ?

I have added two other files : a 64bits manifest for emacs.exe and a
w32compat.h header file that is needed to compile the above mentioned
libraries. In my case, this w32compat.h is included while compiling image.c
for example.

Feel free to comment and adapt for the release version.

Fabrice

I think it would be good with a 64 bit windows emacs. I see some
problem when I am running the 32 bit emacs in w7 64-bit. (However that
is my own version, the version I am very dependant on now and that I
have no time to merge into the core emacs).

I run stock Emacs, compiled from the trunk, on W7 64-bit and I have
not seen any problem. What kind of problems do you see?

Just to let you know that emacs win64 compiles, dumps and loads.
There are still a couple of glitches. It does not yet bootstrap itself.

Main problems are :
- switch "long" to something that is 64 bits long when compiling for 64
bits architecture
- some functions are implicitly assumed to return an int because they are
not declared before being used
(one malloc() use in w32.c, sbrk() in gmalloc.c), hence they might generate
a sign extension, which is not good.

I will keep on polishing things up to the point it will bootstrap itself.

Greetings,

Fabrice

Very cool, thanks.

You're using MSVC, not MinGW, I think? If so, we can tackle compiling
with MinGW (or TDM-GCC) later once you've got it all shiny.

How is that solved when Emacs is compiled for 64-bit POSIX systems?

> - some functions are implicitly assumed to return an int because they are
> not declared before being used

There are lots of functions implictly declared. Compiling Emacs with
gcc's -Wimplicit-function-declaration flag gives 204 warnings, 56 of
them in w32*.c files. Though of course not all of them are relevant
(in some cases, the results are never used, etc.).

-Wimplicit-function-declaration has been turned on by default in
configure for more than a year.  On GNU/Linux (and probably most other
platforms that use configure+gcc)  -Wimplicit-function-declaration does
not produce any warnings.  Fixing all these warnings on windows too would be
a good idea...

I'm not sure I understand the question, but IIUC the answer is that
`long' is 64bit on all known 64bit POSIX systems.

OK, let me rephrase the question to Fabrice (I thought that he meant
that there was some typedef or macro that he had to change, not
variables directly declared to be long):

Why it is a problem to "switch long to something that is 64 bits long
on a 64-bit architecture"? What is the problem exactly?

The hidden assumption is that a long and a pointer are of the same
width.  This is true on 32-bit hosts and on 64-bit Posix hosts (which
have the LP64 architecture), but not on 64-bit Windows, where long is
a 32-bit data type, but a pointer is 64-bit wide.

There is no connection between POSIX and LP64.

I didn't mean to say there was a connection, just that 64-bit Posix
hosts _happen_ to be LP64.  If I'm wrong, I'd like to know which Posix
platform is of a different kind, thanks.

Aha, I see. So Fabrice is right: the code should not assume that, and
mixed uses of long/pointer will have to be "fixed".

One way of fixing that would be to use ptrdiff_t instead of long, I
think.

Emacs compiles, bootstraps itself and loads on w64.
The diffs are not so large, I need to review them before
sending a patch, but they are mainly located in
alloc.c/gmalloc.c/ralloc.c .
I guess now I will have to use it a little bit to see if it is
stable. I'll try to put binaries on web access later this week
if anybody wants to test (64 bits dll are needed too, zlib and
so on).

Great, thanks.

If you don't mind, I'd urge you to sign legal papers.  That would
greatly simplify accepting changes from you in the future.  If you
agree, please ask Stefan Monnier <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca> or Chong
Yidong <cyd@gnu.org> to send you the paperwork.

    Just to let you know that emacs win64 compiles, dumps and loads.

I am glad Emacs works on Windows 64, but please don't refer to that as
"win" -- it is a term of praise.

Great news, thanks.

Yes, though if the changes are significant, they will probably not
make it into Emacs 24.1.  Plus, I think you will need to sign legal
papers to contribute more than what you already have.  (I can
currently find on file your assignment only to Gnus.)

Is this for a 64-bit build, or is this needed for a 32-bit build as
well?  If for a 32-bit built, then what exactly are the problems with
image.c that requires w32compat.h?

Which MSVC header has the necessary declaration, and what is that

Can we instead modify the #define on src/s/ms-w32.h so as to include
versions of MSVC above 1400?  Or does that not work for some reason?

I'd like to avoid changing source files in lib/, since they are
imported from gnulib.

Is such a large heap really needed for a 32-bit MSVC build?  Or is it

Ok, I'll do it if needed. Albeit it is almost only a matter of configuring
the right defines.

The problem is that image.c includes png.h (for example) and png.h
may compile out of the box ... or not. In my case, I always try to compile
all the libraries with the same set of defines and options. So I included
this
file for completeness.

I have both the  7.1 MS SDK and VS2010 installed on my machine.
Using this w32compat.h plus the emacs/nt/inc and emacs/lib,
I was able to compile all the libraries
(32bits and 64 bits versions). And emacs too of course.

Ok, I removed the restriction on MSVC version below 1400 and that is
compiling.

I would like to know. I get an error when bootstrapping at these lines :
invalid read syntax.
If someone has a suggestion on how to investigate it, I'd like to hear it:

Loading bindings (source)...
Invalid read syntax: "?"
NMAKE : fatal error U1077:
'C:\Source\XEmTeX\mirror\emacs\src/obj-spd/i386/temacs.exe' : return code
'0xffffffff'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\VC\Bin\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

It is failing only while bootstrapping, not during  the regular build.

I tried to double it for the 64 bits build in the hope it will let me go a
bit further.
Maybe that size is not needed even in this case. So forget it for the
moment.

Also, it seems that it is possible to declare segments using #pragma
and that they can even be resized using the editbin tool (available with
the sdk). That may make addsection useless, and wrt to a 64bits build,
I would be more confident in using the sdk tools if possible.

I'll try to remove the use of addsection if possible. Well, if someone has
a good reason
for which it is not possible, let me know.

Linking all other programs except emacs.
For the other programs, you surely don't want to define malloc to be
e_malloc  ?

Being able to link against libc or msvcrt is confusing.
Wouldn't it be better if only MSVCRT was supported ?
Does the build work with the static libc ?

Most people build Emacs using MinGW, where editbin is not available.

But we could tweak gmake.defs and nmake.defs such that MSVC builds do
use editbin.

Sorry, I don't know enough about the various libraries provided by MS
to answer that.  In general, we must support a build against libraries
that are part of the OS, we cannot rely on users having the SDK or the
Studio installation.  So linking against libraries that are only
distributed with VS must be an option.  Even using vcredist packages
as a prerequisite would be a nuisance.

Ok. Good point. At first, when I tried the 64bits build, the executable
wouldn't run.
I was afraid that it was because of the addsection tweak. Eventually, it
turned out
that it was the emacs.manifest file that specified the .exe as a 32bits
executable.
Hence the reason for the 64bits manifest. So removing addsection is not a
priority
at all.

Even better point. MSVCRT.dll is provided with the OS and some parts of it
are linked against
this dll. However, Visual Studio provides msvcrt80.dll, msvcrt90.dll,
msvcrt100.dll (one for each
new release of VS) and they need to be redistributed with the program. It
makes sense if you
are building an installer (it is even easy).

So, I have rebuilt emacs with the static libc. It is working too,
except for nt/cmdproxy that required :

This patch is ok for both the static libc and the dynamic one.
Without it, link complains that printf is redefined in the case of the
static libc.
By the way, I don't know how the MingW libraries are organized, but defining
printf and co to spare some functions when linking ... it doesn't work with
cl and
libc/msvcrt because other libc functions are used too : strncpy, strdup etc.
So it is not possible to avoid linking against libc (?).

You will have to bear with me, as I cannot easily grok what you are
trying to explain.  E.g., what is "the static libc"?

To answer your question about MinGW, here are the default libraries
that the linker is instructed to scan when linking a program:

 -lmingw32 -lgcc -lmoldname -lmingwex -lmsvcrt -luser32 -lkernel32
 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lmingw32 -lgcc -lmoldname -lmingwex -lmsvcrt

Out of these, libgcc.a is a static library that comes with GCC,
libmingw32.a and libmingwex.a are static libraries specific to MinGW
(the former includes the startup modules like CRTglob, the latter math
functions and a few MinGW replacements for missing or buggy functions
from the MS runtime), libmoldname.a is a static library of stubs that
provide FOO where MS runtime only has _FOO (like _access, _dup2,
etc.), and all the rest are Windows dynamic libraries; MinGW just
supplies import libs for them.  I hope this answers your question
about the organization of the MinGW libraries.  IIUC, the above means
MinGW does not have any "static libc", so it must link against the
dynamic libraries that constitute the MS runtime.

There are two MS C libraries you can link with :
- libc is a static library,
- msvcrt is a dll

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh(v=vs.100).aspx

The main difference between both is that in the event you compile your
program in several modules, and each of these modules need a C library, if
you use msvcrt, then internal variables of the C library are shared amond
the modules, whereas each module gets its own C library internal state if
you use the static libc. (May be relevant for functions like strtok for
example).

Also, to complete what I wrote previously about installation and
redistributables.
It is perfectly possible to compile a foo.exe program and link it with the
current release
of msvcrt (say msvcrt100.dll) and pack this library in the very same
directory
foo.exe is located. You can zip them together and there is nothing to
install.
Your foo.exe program will be dynamically linked with the dll that are
located
in the same directory, before looking anywhere else.

Ok, thanks for this detailed explanation.
So it seems that MINGW compiled programs are linked with the MS msvcrt.dll ?
But then, you would need to provide msvcrt.dll together with your binaries ?


Anyway, in the case of cmdproxy, the source code states that :

/* We don't want to include stdio.h because we are already duplicating
   lots of it here */
extern int _snprintf (char *buffer, size_t count, const char *format, ...);

/*******  Mock C library routines  *********************************/

/* These routines are used primarily to minimize the executable size.  */

I don't see exactly how to minimze executable size except by not linking
with any C library. It would be possible to replace the other string
functions
used in cmdproxy.c by Win32 functions and remove the C library from the
needed resources.
But that is not currently what's done.
So all in all, it is as easy to use the C library printf functions,
especially given the fact that
they conflict when I link against the static libc.
(Not sure why they don't when linking with msvcrt, I bet it is because of
an underscore again).

I don't think that distributing msvcrt100.dll (or any proprietary
binary) with a GNU binary is acceptable. But I'm not 100% sure, you'll
better check in emacs-devel.

Not really. msvcrt.dll is distributed with the OS since Windows 98,
IIRC. The Windows 95 users probably have it installed as well, because
so much software depends on it.

This error comes from the following fragment in lread.c:read1

    case '?':
      {
	int modifiers;
	int next_char;
	int ok;

	c = READCHAR;
	if (c < 0)
	  end_of_file_error ();

	/* Accept `single space' syntax like (list ? x) where the

	   as there are well-established escape sequences for these.  */
	if (c == ' ' || c == '\t')
	  return make_number (c);

	if (c == '\\')
	  c = read_escape (readcharfun, 0);
	modifiers = c & CHAR_MODIFIER_MASK;
	c &= ~CHAR_MODIFIER_MASK;
	if (CHAR_BYTE8_P (c))
	  c = CHAR_TO_BYTE8 (c);
	c |= modifiers;

	next_char = READCHAR;
	ok = (next_char <= 040
	      || (next_char < 0200
		  && strchr ("\"';()[]#?`,.", next_char) != NULL));
	UNREAD (next_char);
	if (ok)
	  return make_number (c);

	invalid_syntax ("?");  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      }

Can you step through this in a debugger and see what character is seen
in next_char at the end of this snippet, and what value is in `c' at
that point, when it fails?  The function read_escape called by this
fragment could also be of interest.

Something seems to be messed up in the read_escape function :
it should read the string "[?\\C-0]"
it reads the 'C' and the '-', then it returns the char '0' + ctrl_modifier,
and back in read1, the next char read is '0' again.
Which means that in read1 at the failure point,
next_char = 0x00000030
and c = 0x04000030

I tried to step inside read_escape, but not sure what's going wrong here.

step through this fragment in read1 and inside read_escape it calls?

The trick is that the string gets formatted this way :

s = [?\C-00], c= 43, index = 4, index_byte = 4

which is definitely wrong. It is format that is failing on this, not read.

Solved.

Int nt/inc/stdint.h, there is this constant :

#define UINT32_MAX 4294967296

which is obviously wrong and should be :

#define UINT32_MAX 4294967295

Thanks.  I think I made all the changes needed for the MSVC 32-bit
build.  You can try the latest bzr trunk, the changes are in revision
106533.  The next pretest of Emacs 24 is expected to be available
tomorrow, so if you can try building that and reporting back, that'd
be swell.

I'm leaving this bug open for now, in case I goofed and it still
doesn't build.

Please note that only some of the _WIN64 changes are committed.  I
didn't want to rock the boat too much during the pretest, and also I
really feel that we've exceeded the amount of changes we can accept
without legal papers.  (I'd really encourage you to sign papers at
some point, to make all this line-counting business unnecessary.)  And
I understand that you don't have a fully functional 64-bit version
anyway.  So I only committed those _WIN64 related changes that fix
what we already had in the repository.  The rest will have to wait for
after the release of Emacs 24.1.

Thank you for your help so far.

Sorry about that.  Which system header declares `environ' on Mac OS X?
Does the problem go away if you include that header in emacsclient.c?

On my side, there is still this messy 'tzname', which seems to be defined
in some part an not in some others.
I need the patch below.  It could probably be eliminated by a careful
analysis of what files are included.
I think the problem is that tzname may be defined to be _tzname _before_
including the regular MS <time.h> .

This should now be fixed (with trunk revision 107670).

Fabrice, please tell if there are any other problems that prevent the
32-bit MSVC build from working.  If no problems remain, I will close
this bug.

Thanks.

It is working out of the box.
I did a bootstrap after configure.bat.
All I had to do was to set usercflags (graphics libraries and so on).

Great!  So I'm closing this bug.

Thanks for all your help.

bug#9960: Compiling Emacs trunk with MSVC

On a clean checkout or after make maintainer-clean `getopt.h' needs to 
be regenerated. In order for this to work with nmake I needed to make 
the following change:

This is not meant as a permanent fix, but just an example of what is 
necessary to make it work with nmake.

See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f8txf85h%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

Should we define an ESCAPE_SPECIAL_CHAR variable in 
nmake.defs/gmake.defs to handle this or is there a way to make the 
platform specific decision in the makefile.w32-in without too much 
duplication?

This pragma is only needed when Emacs is compiled with MinGW, because
this pragma is specific to GCC.  So a better solution would be to
define PRAGMA_SYSTEM_HEADER itself on gmake.defs, and define it as
empty on nmake.defs (to edit away "@PRAGMA_SYSTEM_HEADER@").

Ouch. I'm not up to speed to answer all of this.
(Spent the day in a plane to go to some conference near Miami).
I should be able to check with my copy in a couple of days.

One thing you need to pay attention too is : are you linking with LIBC or
MSVCRT ?
I used to link with MSVCRT (MS would like to get rid of LIBC).

Best regards,

Fabrice

Sorry, I had a lot of time to spend on this today. ;)

That would be great. I am pretty sure I am. nmake.defs defines `_MT' and
`_DLL', which according to the documentation
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2kzt1wy3%28v=VS.90%29.aspx)
cause the compiler to link against MSCVRT.lib.

Eventually, it is best if you try the latest trunk, and deal only with
the problems that are left.

Thanks, we all have our lives.

bug#9960: fix for Bug#9772 should also help fix Bug#9960

[Paul Eggert]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 308 bytes --]

It appears that the patch for Bug#9772 would help fix one of the
problems with the MSVC port (Bug#9960), as the patch solves the problem of
DECL_ALIGN in a portable way that should work with MSVC.

So I updated the Bug#9772 patch to reflect the latest GNU Emacs trunk
(bzr 106319) and am attaching it here.

bug#9960: "emacsclient.c (main) <environ>: Remove declaration, " breaks build on Mac OS X

[David Caldwell]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2120 bytes --]

FYI, I get this error when compiling Emacs for Mac OS X (x86_64, i386,
and  PowerPC):

It appears to be caused by this checkin:

I'm guessing it's this hunk:

If you tried a 64-bit build, then it is not yet supported on Windows.
Try the 32-bit build, it should work.

No, it wasn't.  But I fixed it already; try the next pretest when it
will be ready, hopefully in a day or two.

Yes, sorry about that.

I was doing a 32-bit build.  There are still a few minor changes from 
Fabrice Popineau that haven't made it into bzr yet. 
(http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9960#224)   With those 
changes, the build succeeds.

I built from the latest bzr source and can confirm that the linum-mode 
crash no longer occurs on my end.  Since the issue was not related to 
gcc after all, the fact that I built with MSVC presumably does not 
affect the validity of this finding.

Which changes, specifically, are needed?  I know only about one issue:
the one with _tzname.  The rest, to the best of my knowledge, are for
a 64-bit build.  If I'm wrong, I'd like to know which other changes
are still needed for the 32-bit build with MSVC.

There are only two changes listed in but 9960 message 224, both related 
to _tzname.  (The patch is repeated for reference at the bottom of this 
message.)  The changes are to lib/strftime.c and src/s/ms-w32.h.

If I back out Fabrice's proposed change to lib/strftime.c, the build 
succeeds through the compilation phase but fails to link because of 
unresolved external _tzname.

If I back out Fabrice's proposed change to src/s/ms-w32.h, compilation 
of ntlib.c fails with "time.h(270) : error C2090: function returns array".

So it appears that both changes are needed for the MSVC 32-bit build.
