Error Compiling on Mac OS X 10.3

Error Compiling on Mac OS X 10.3

[David Wheeler]

Hi all,

I'm attempting to compile Emacs from CVS anonymous checkout (using 
:ext:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvs-2003-09-16/emacs) on Mac OS X 
10.3 (Panther) and keep getting an error:

gcc -c -fpascal-strings -fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src   -Demacs 
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I. -I/usr/local/src/emacs/src -fpascal-strings 
-fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src -Dtemacs -g -O2 fileio.c
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `regex.h', needed by `dired.o'.  
Stop.
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

I expect there must be a simple solution to this problem, but I don't 
know what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

David

regex.h is in emacs/src in my checkout.  Are sure that your checkout
is complete and that the include paths above are correct?

Yes, see <URL:http://savannah.gnu.org/statement.html>.

Yes, it was the message that came up when I hit the Emacs Savannah 
page. It dates from before the attack.

Well, I checked it out three times, and got the same error every time. 
But the file's not there, so I think I'll try again today. Very odd.

Thanks,

David

Just checked it out again, and it's still not there. I hope I don't 
have to wait for Savannah to be fully restored; that could take some 
time, and in the meantime, I have a new PowerBook I need to be able to 
start working on...

Cheers,

David

Oh, interesting:

geertz% cd src
geertz% cvs -z3 -q update
cvs server: nothing known about regex.c
cvs server: nothing known about regex.h

So it seems that CVS is horked. Anyone know how I might be able to 
correct this? Or perhaps someone could send me a tarball (or a link to 
a tarball) of a complete (and recent) checkout?

TIA,

David

This is probably because regex is an imported package, it physically
resides in a different repository, and that repository has not been
restored yet by Savannah salvage team.

One idea is to write to savannah-hackers@gnu.org and alert them to
this problem.

Are they symlinked on the CVS server or something?

Done, many thanks for the suggestion.

Something like that, I don't recall the exact details.

Yes, symlinked to gnulib/regex.[ch] (with-rant-mode "not to be confused with
gnulib/src/regex.[ch] which is a forked code: the symlink was created
specifically to merge the various forks, and later on a the forked code was
added to gnulib/src at which point I got sufficiently disgusted to lose
interest in merging the various forks").

Ah, well perhaps I can check out gnulib and create the symlinks myself, 
eh? Are there any other possible gotchas like this?

Thanks,

This seems to work, but now I've run into a new problem:

gcc -c -fpascal-strings -fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src   -Demacs 
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I. -I/Users/david/dev/c/emacs/src -fpascal-strings 
-fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src -Dtemacs -g -O2 process.c

process.c:3566: error: structure has no member named `ifr_netmask'
make[1]: *** [process.o] Error 1
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

Is this something I can easily fix?

Many TIA,

David

Should've mentioned the version of gcc, sorry.

Please try to use 2003-09-13 of CVS repository.
	% cvs update -D '2003-09-13 UTC'

It was the latest revision (before 2003-09-16)
that I could compile successfully on Mac OS X (10.2).

see http://homepage.mac.com/nand/emacsbuild/

I hope this helps.

Yes, it does! It'd be great if Andrew Choi linked to your emacsbuild 
page from his "Emacs 21 for Mac OS X" page -- might've saved me some 
grief.
