build problem with current Emacs CVS

build problem with current Emacs CVS

[Floyd Ferguson]

There is a problem building the latest CVS version of GNU Emacs on Mac
OS X (Panther).

Checking out the latest CVS sources produced the following error,

------------------------------------------------------------
cvs server: emacs/src/regex.c is no longer in the repository
cvs server: emacs/src/regex.h is no longer in the repository
------------------------------------------------------------

and then compiling (make bootstrap --> cd src; make bootstrap)

failed with the following error

------------------------------------------------------------
(cd src; make  bootstrap)
gcc -c -fpascal-strings -fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src   -Demacs -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DUSE_LUCID  -I. -I/Users/floydf/tools/emacs/src -fpascal-strings -fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dtemacs -g -O2 pre-crt0.c

[ successful compilations deleted ]

gcc -c -fpascal-strings -fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src   -Demacs -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DUSE_LUCID  -I. -I/Users/floydf/tools/emacs/src -fpascal-strings -fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dtemacs -g -O2 minibuf.c

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `regex.h', needed by `dired.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
------------------------------------------------------------

Checking out a completely clean source tree produced the same error.
Copying the regex.c and regex.h files from the 21.3 source
distribution from last March to emacs/src resolved the issue, and the
build succeeded.
