Subject: Make bootstrap fails on Windows: 2003-04-17
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 13:47:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <762A7BB74D6AD51195EF00B0D0AA16602C392C@STPETE> (raw)
Make bootstrap currently fails on Windows when using msvc. The last time I
did a successful make bootstrap was on 2003-04-10.
The error generated is as follows:
<error_details>
"D:\emacs-src\head\lisp/../bin/emacs.exe" -batch --no-init-file
--no-site-file --multibyte -l autoload --eval "(setq find-fil
e-hooks nil find-file-suppress-same-file-warnings t
generated-autoload-file \"D:/emacs-src/head/lisp/loaddefs.el\")" -f

Cannot open doc string file "d:/emacs-src/head/etc/DOC"
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"D:\emacs-src\head\lisp/../bin/emacs.exe"' :
return code '0xffffffff'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VC98\bin\NMAKE.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
</error_details>
The error is occurring the first time emacs.exe is called.
It appears that a recent change caused emacs.exe to be unable to run
successfully if etc/DOC does not exist. This is a serious problem. etc/DOC
cannot be generated until the ELisp files have been compiled. This cannot
happen without running emacs.exe. Thus we have a circular dependency
problem, emacs cannot run without etc/DOC and etc/DOC cannot be generated
unless emacs.exe is first called to byte compile the ELisp files.
I do not have the time at the moment to resolve this issue.
