The latest release is 24.1, which does not use cpp. I would encourage you to try that and not worry about 23.4. http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emacs24.html > Another piece of information is that when replacing the dumped emacs > from Debian with the one from the tarball, build is OK! So it seem that > the differences are in temacs or the dumped emacs. IIUC, Debian includes several patches to the Emacs sources. You might start by selectively removing them. Also, I never understood what this means: > However, on Debian the whole source tree is copied to debian/build-? > where ?=x,nox,lucid. You mean; tar zvxf emacs-23.4.tar.gz cp -pr emacs-23.4 debian/build-x etc ? The loaddefs difference looks like it could be an Emacs bug; but it ought to be harmless in itself.
