How I build emacs-cvs on OpenBSD

[Han Boetes <han@mijncomputer.nl>]

Hi,

I recently became Maintainer for the OpenBSD port for emacs. I also
like testing emacs from cvs as lot. I made a little script for this. I
will add some comments to it and I hope you can add the missing bits to
emacs to make things easier for other people.

Here it is:

opties='--with-gtk'
export LOCALBASE='/usr/local'
export CFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -g'
export CC=egcc
# only libpng is strictly necesarry. All OpenBSD ports are installed in
# /usr/local so lots of libraries can be found there.

export CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include -I${LOCALBASE}/include/libpng"
# -Z is necessary because OpenBSD current on i386 has recently moved to
# elf.
# All OpenBSD platforms now use elf accept for vax and m68k

# A not so nice comment from one of the developers in the ports-cvs-tree
#
# Work around the fact that emacs undump knows too much about the layout
# of elf files (or thinks it does). These assumptions were just broken
# by binutils/ld changes to put GOT and PLT into their own PT_LOAD
# sections. Thus BSS is no longer part of the DATA PT_LOAD section. This
# is a workaround using the '-Z' compatibility flag which disables the
# GOT/PLT padding.

export LDFLAGS="-Z -L${LOCALBASE}/lib"

#if cvsup; then
    if [ "$1" = bootstrap ] ;then
        ./configure $opties && \
           make bootstrap && \
           sudo make install
    else
        ./configure $opties && \
           make && \
           cd lisp && \
           make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs && \
           cd .. && \
           sudo make install
    fi
#fi


And I also have this patch:

Index: openbsd.h
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/emacs/emacs/src/s/openbsd.h,v
retrieving revision 1.2

 /*  David Mazieres <dm@reeducation-labor.lcs.mit.edu> says this

 #undef LIBS_TERMCAP
+
+/* Got this from the FreeBSD ports-list
+
+#define LIBS_TERMCAP -lncurses */

Now as you may notice, this patch does nothing at the moment. With the
emacs-21.3 port enabling the #define solves all problems with running
emacs -nw in a plain console, no problems in screen. but with current
cvs it breaks X and emacs -nw in screen  again so I accept the breakage
in the normal console. It's a rather erratic bug :)
