Building from an old commit

Building from an old commit

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

I'm preparing for the soon to come emacsconf and my idea was to go back to emacs as it was before the patch I sent on June 20 2018.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=61f73703c74756e6963cc622f03bcc6938ab71b2

So, and not to mess with my current emacs repository,

- I cloned the current repository in a separate location
- I checked out c71fb6b0cdb7043e2828a6843496ab20f4577cbb
- I ran 

    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure
    make install

But that ends with an error message à la:

14880 unused bytes follow Mach-O header
94879 pure bytes used
mv -f emacs bootstrap-emacs
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C ../lisp compile-first EMACS="../src/bootstrap-emacs"
  ELC      emacs-lisp/macroexp.elc
/bin/sh: line 1: 89023 Killed: 9               EMACSLOADPATH= '../src/bootstrap-emacs' -batch --no-site-file --no-site-lisp --eval '(setq load-prefer-newer t)' -f batch-byte-compile emacs-lisp/macroexp.el
make[2]: *** [emacs-lisp/macroexp.elc] Error 137
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 2
make: *** [src] Error 2


On a side note, master builds nicely, without having to do anything special.


Is there anything I am missing here?

Try this:

    git cherry-pick e0677de7f3f222e

Would you mind elaborating ?
I'd like to understand what's wrong.

I don't know the details, sorry.

Maybe "git show e0677de7f3f222e" will give you a starting point.
You could also search the list archives.

Thank you Stefan,

It looks like an issue with an update to glibc.

(But what I'd like to know is what in the error message made you think that it was *that* commit that could fix the issue ?)


I installed that commit, ran again configure and make install and here is the error:

2 warnings generated.
make[1]: Circular bootstrap-emacs <- temacs dependency dropped.
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C ../admin/unidata all EMACS="../../src/bootstrap-emacs"

make[2]: *** [uvs.elc] Error 137
make[1]: *** [macuvs.h] Error 2
make: *** [src] Error 2


Then I tried make bootstrap and I got that:

Version 26.1 downloaded from ftp.gnu.org built perfectly fine.

I'm not going any deeper into this rabbit hole :-)

Thank you anyway for your help.

(I could have used pre-patch package.el in the recent master, too. I just thought about that.)

It built fine but would not start...

Weird.

I guess I'll just do that.

I know that we had to apply that commit to old branches to make them
build.  See, e.g. "git log origin/emacs-25".
