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 On Fri, 30 Apr 2021 at 16:00, Eli Zaretskii wrote: > > From: Pedro Andres Aranda Gutierrez > > Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2021 13:52:58 +0200 > > > > 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 > > Please describe how you configured the build and how you installed the > built Emacs.
