Weird directories after compiling emacs native mode and creating .deb package

Weird directories after compiling emacs native mode and creating .deb package

HI,

can someone enlighten me why the following is happening:

emacs ➤ emacs

Error using execdir
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/emacs/28.0.50/x86_64-linux-gnu/../../../../bin/:
emacs:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/emacs/28.0.50/x86_64-linux-gnu/../../../../bin/../native-lisp/28.0.50-b0a588b0/preloaded/window-98dcc46c-8d15fa51.eln:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
emacs ➤ find /usr/lib -name native-lisp

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/emacs/28.0.50/native-lisp
emacs ➤ which emacs

/usr/bin/emacs
emacs ➤ ls -l $(which emacs)

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 abr 30 13:43 /usr/bin/emacs ->
/etc/alternatives/emacs
emacs ➤ realpath $(which emacs)

/usr/bin/emacs-28.0.5028

I feel I'm almost there in creating a .deb package for emacs28 with native
compilation. My plan is to get this right for a GTK only package and then
return to the -gtk -nox package scheme

TIA, /PA

Please describe how you configured the build and how you installed the
built Emacs.  That is, what were your full 'configure' command line
and the fill "make install" command line?  Also, where is the
emacs.pdmp file that corresponds to the installed Emacs binary?

Hi Eli,all

in an effort to answer you last email, I started cleaning up by
debina/rules (aka Makefile) and have come up with a simpler setup that
compiles and creates an installable emacs package (for the GUI version
only) So it certainly was a problem of not setting sensible directories in
the original Makefile.

Currently, I'm stumbling with the next stone in my path. I can't get emacs
to start:

emacs ➤ emacs

Symbol’s value as variable is void: auto-save-list-file-prefix

If I start it in terminal mode, I get it to build the frames, but I get the
same message on the mini-buffer and it doesn't load any file.

Now compiling without native-comp gets me a perfectly working emacs in GUI
and terminal mode

Best,/PA

PS: Make process kernel.

confflags += --prefix=/usr
confflags += --sharedstatedir=/var/lib
confflags += --program-suffix=28
# confflags += --with-modules=yes
# Not yet
# confflags += --with-native-compilation
# Gtk config options
confflags_gtk += $(confflags)
confflags_gtk += --with-x
confflags_gtk += --with-x-toolkit=gtk3
confflags_gtk += --with-cairo

make maintainer-clean
./autogen.sh all
./configure $(confflags_gtk)
make # NATIVE_FULL_AOT=1
make DESTDIR=$(shell pwd)/debian/emacs28 install

This creates an installation which is then transfered to the .deb package

I have locally built .deb packages for Emacs 28 with native compilation,
based on emacs-snapshot with a patch to adjust the location of native-lisp.

Sounds like something's wrong with your *.eln files, suggest to clean
up all the caches and start anew.

Why did you need a patch to adjust the location of native-lisp?

Because of required .eln pathnames (native-lisp/28.0.50-XXXXXXXX),
this is packaging issue.

Without the patch, native-lisp is located in the -bin-common package.
However, different pathnames are used by the packages emacs-snapshot(-gtk),
-lucid and -nox.  So, I located native-lisp in the individual packages
insted of -bin-common with the patch.

Thank you, it is really interesting. I never stop learning and that's what
makes live a fun :-)
I have a question... What is the purpose of the -lucid packages. I thinkI
understood that
Debian would have -gtk, -nox, -common, -el and -doc packages and that they
didn't want
to continue with the -lucid stuff.
But again, I could be wrong. What is the purpose of this -lucid package?

Thank you so much, /PA

I prefer -lucid with `(menu-bar-mode -1) (tool-bar-mode -1)`.

With my experience, -lucid is faster than -gtk, and the look and
feel are no matter for me.

More on this,
I tried today with the same configuration and
make NATIVE_FULL_AOT=1
The problem persists, whoever if I execute emacs from the source directory
(.../emacs/src) it starts correctly.

Just my .2 cents...
