List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:7895 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:7895 I've been using XEmacs for several years now, but I'm finding there are a= few=20 features in (GNU) Emacs which I'm not finding in XEmacs. I therefore wan= ted=20 to take a look at the latest cvs snapshot. I did what I consider a norma= l=20 cvs checkout: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs Whic was my best guess on the basis of the http://savana.gnu.org site. I= =20 attempted to ./configure && make. This resulted in a message saying: Essential Lisp files seem to be missing. You should either do `make bootstrap' or create `lisp/abbrev.elc' somehow. 'make bootstrap' puked on info/tramp:=20 cd /download/org/gnu/emacs/emacs/man; makeinfo tramp.texi tramp.texi:25: Unknown command `copying'. tramp.texi:50: Unmatched `@end'. makeinfo: Removing output file `../info/tramp' due to errors; use --force= to=20 preserve. make[1]: *** [../info/tramp] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/download/org/gnu/emacs/emacs/man' make: *** [info] Error 2 I then downloaded the latest stable tarball and that ./configured and mad= e=20 like a charm. I'm sure I could snag the `lisp/abbrev.elc' from that buil= d,=20 but seems a whole lot like cheating. Is the current cvs image makeable? STH
