master HEAD does not compile on MacOS

master HEAD does not compile on MacOS

[Vincent Belaïche]

Dear all,

I tried to compile the latest version, as my current version of Emacs
does not have format-prompt which the latest ses.el on the git repo
uses, but the compilation fails on MacOS (it used to work…).

Here is what I get :

Just to be more specific about what « latest » means :

bash-3.2$ git log -1
commit 413ef5a7e664d84415eae00e491e2a14a6018265 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Andrew G Cohen <cohen@andy.bu.edu>

    ; Restore regexp-quote for gnus subject match

    * lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-limit-include-thread): Restore
    regexp-quote that was inadvertently dropped in commit 2021-12-21 "Fix
    gnus subject matching when subject is empty".

Did you try running "make bootstrap"?

Actually, I had tried that and a few other things.

But indeed the problem was that I was building Emacs from a shell
console within an older version of Emacs. I rarely rebuild Emacs (but
now I need the newest version as the latest ses.el uses function
format-prompt that was not on my older version of Emacs). So, not
rebuilding often, I had forgotten that it does not work form an Emacs
console, but it came to my mind that I had already come accross this
issue quite a while ago. FYI, what fails is the emacs dump step.

Maybe this limitation should be documented in the INSTALL.REPO file …

BTW, I boldly overwrote my older Emacs with the new one --- Banzai ! ---
and a few things are not working any longer :

1. jdee does not byte-compile any longer, here is an example:

Compiling file /Users/vincentbelaiche/Documents/Personnel/Projects/jdee/jdee-bug.el at Sat Mar 26 18:38:16 2022
Entering directory ‘/Users/vincentbelaiche/Documents/Personnel/Projects/jdee/’
jdee-bug.el:31:2: Error: Symbol’s value as variable is void: initialize-instance

It seems that there is a change in the way eieio works, probably JDEE is
outdated.

2. I was using a theme, flatland-black-theme.el, and loading it does not
   seems to have any effect --- well, I don't get a black theme.

FYI, I could build the latest Emacs from a console opened within the
latest Emacs. So it seems that the limitation I fell accross does not
exist any longer. My previous Emacs was a version 28.xxx or so …
