w32 port: SVG Path Commands' has no Up field (perhaps incorrect sectioning?).

[Keith David Bershatsky]

When building master branch from today (0797b39185e66983c7286e89f93dd4f6c83b6ea7) on Windows 32 (minGW and ezwinports downloaded a few years ago) with the following build options:

CFLAGS='-O0 -g3' ./configure \
--prefix=/c/docume~1/admini~1/desktop/trunk \
--enable-checking='yes,glyphs' \
--enable-check-lisp-object-type \
--without-compress-install \
--without-makeinfo \
--with-gnutls=no \
--with-mailutils \
--without-makeinfo

... the build stops with the following output:

It seems odd that you're having info built even though you apparently
configured --without-makeinfo (twice, even).

[Keith David Bershatsky]

Thank you, Noam, for looking into this particular issue.  If I were to make an UNeducated guess based upon a word search for "svg", then I would guess that the following commit may be potential cause:

https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/d6bc55ae2dc98c83e58a28e380ce4bcf2ed00bb3

I have built 0797b39185e66983c7286e89f93dd4f6c83b6ea7 twice today and had the same error as described in the opening post to this particular thread.

I have no problems building ac57c5093829ee09084c562bbbc1c412179be13d from the preceding day.  That works just fine.

Thanks for spotting the duplicate "--without-makinfo" command line build option.  I will revise my cheat-sheet to omit one of them.

Because I have been able to successfully build Emacs for several years using this same Windows XP SP3 virtual machine with an outdated timestamp, I believe that it may only be a contributing factor to the error in this thread, rather than the root cause.  I can certainly update the timestamp on the virtual machine and build Emacs a third time today using 0797b39185e66983c7286e89f93dd4f6c83b6ea7, but I would guess that I will have the same result in a failed build.

By outdated timestamps, I meant the modification times of your source
and/or build files (e.g., maybe the VM's clock got out of sync at some
point?). But looking at your build log again, it's something even
stranger than that:

GEN globals.h
CC emacs.o
gcc -std=gnu11 emacs.o -o emacs

Where is that last line coming from? It's trying to produce the
'emacs' executable without linking any of the object files except
emacs.o. And it didn't use the silent rule format (CCLD).

I see no "SVG Path Commands" in lispref/display.texi.  Do you still
see this problem with today's master?

Lars reverted the relevant commits as the copyright paperwork isnʼt in
order yet.

Given that the relevant commit has been reverted, I am assuming that Eli Z. does not need me to do anything further on this issue.  If by chance anyone still needs something, just let me know.

I see no "SVG Path Commands" in lispref/display.texi.  Do you still
see this problem with today's master?

Yes.  There is indeed an error in Texinfo usage there, but we will
deal with it when the changes are committed again to master.
