compiling cvs emacs

[Karol Szkudlarek]

Hi!

I have the problem with compiling emacs from the cvs trunk.
After:
cvs -q up;./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr/emacs --with-gtk;make bootstrap

I got the following error:

Generating autoloads for textmodes/org.el...done
Saving file /home/karol/var/cvs/emacs/lisp/loaddefs.el...
Autoloading failed to define function coding-system-equal
make[2]: *** [autoloads] Error 255
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/karol/var/cvs/emacs/lisp'
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-prepare] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/karol/var/cvs/emacs/lisp'
make: *** [bootstrap-build] Error 2

Any help appreciated,

greets to all Emacsians...

Karol

ps.

my platform is:

You probably have to update loaddefs.el.  Just follow the instructions
in INSTALL.CVS or do `make bootstrap'.

You probably need to delete the *.elc files.  Didn't we decide that `make
bootstrap' should be changed to do that, to avoid those recurrent
bug reports?

It _has_ been changed to do that.  I even just double checked to make
sure.  In my previous reply, I forgot to notice that the OP actually
ran `make bootstrap', hence my reply made no sense.  I do not know
what the problem is then.  I guess that bootstrapping updates
loaddefs.el automatically or not?  At least that would appear from the
messages that flash by.

I never got time to learn this, but was there not some problems with the
error messages just "flashing by"? And maybe it was those expressions in
Makefile that updates loaddefs.el that was a problem on windows? (What OS
was the OP using?)

BTW I have not tested Stefans suggestion of fixing them further. I wonder if
it maybe would be better and more stable to rewrite those small parts of
Makefile so that temporary files where used for these expressions? Could
that be done in a way that avoids the problem with window's backslashes in
filenames? Could Emacs write the temporary files I suggest here?

I am not an expert on the Make files.  It might be that without some prior
form of `*clean' (I use make maintainer-clean) loaddefs actually does
not get updated.

What is definitely true is that the OP's loaddefs.el is out of date.

`coding-system-equal' no longer gets autoloaded.  The autoload cookie
got (deliberately or accidentally) removed when `coding-system-equal'
got moved from mule-util to mule on October 12, 2004.

Luc.

Hi!

Of course I read INSTALL.CVS. :-)

I tried both:

1) $ make bootrstrap
2) $ cd lisp
    $ make autoloads EMACS=../src/emacs

and nothing helps. Besides I would like to say what I observed
(maybe it helps):


*) if I have LC_ALL=pl_PL
then I got the following error (after calling 2):

-print)`; for file in $subdirs; do case $file in */Old | */RCS | */CVS |

Hi Stefan!

I deleted *.elc files and I can't still compile... :-(

After make bootstrap I have error:

Generating autoloads for play/zone.el...done
Generating autoloads for textmodes/conf-mode.el...

Generating autoloads for textmodes/org.el...

Please help....,

If you have coding-system-equal in loaddefs.el, then that is a problem
because it should not be there.

What happens when you rename loaddefs.el to some place where Emacs can
not find it, run `make maintainer-clean', `configure' and `make-bootstrap'?

Do you have version 1.213 of international/mule.el and version 1.57 of
international/mule-util.el?

Sincerely,

Luc.

Yes I have it...

After that now compiles fine... uff... :-)

Yes. Exactly. I checked them via cvs status...

Thank you for help... :-))
