Hi Andrea,

Thanks for answering

I have been using the debian/rules debian/... used to build the .deb packages for emacs-26 changing and adapting them for emacs27 and now emacs28 (without --native-comp) at the beginning and now I'm switching to native-comp.

I could get rid of the last message by recloning the emacs/master repo. Now I'm stuck at install-eln with

find: ‘native-lisp’: No such file or directory
find: ‘native-lisp’: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [Makefile:756: install-eln] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

My next guess is hat I'm trying to build the gtk and the nox versions in parallel. I'm trying to reduce the build to gtk only. More news to follow (if you are interested) ;-)

Ciao, /PA

Hi Pedro,

mmhh that's odd, the error doens't look realted to native compilation.

But could you clarify what "trying to build a .deb" translates too?
Please share the commands you used for this so it can be reproduced
and/or better analyzed.

Thanks

Andrea
