recipe for target 'xrdb.o' failed

[Colin Baxter]

Hello,

I just done a fresh git pull and now get a build error:

Makefile:385: recipe for target 'xrdb.o' failed
make[1]: *** [xrdb.o] Error 1
Leaving directory '/home/redknight/git/emacs/src'
Makefile:443: recipe for target 'src' failed
make: *** [src] Error 2

Thanks,

I'm using 4.9.0-15-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.258-1 (2021-03-08) i686 GNU/Linux


Best wishes,

Colin Baxter.

always show the error messages, they can sometimes speed up the
solution tremendously.

Ok, sorry. I can confirm that the latest emacs builds satisfactorily.
