bzr cedet compiling error on Ubuntu

bzr cedet compiling error on Ubuntu

[eenliu]

Hi,

I tried to byte-compile bzr cedet on Ubuntu 14.04, but got this error:

In toplevel form:
cedet-edebug.el:37:13:Error: File `/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/emacs-lisp/debug.elc' was not compiled in Emacs
make[2]: *** [cedet-edebug.elc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ning/dev/emacs.d/site-lisp/cedet/lisp/cedet'
make[1]: *** [cedet] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ning/dev/emacs.d/site-lisp/cedet/lisp'
make: *** [compile] Error 2


Similarly, if compiling contrib:

In semantic-tag-folding-get-attribute-overlay:
semantic-tag-folding.el:533:42:Warning: function `remove-if-not' from cl
    package called at runtime
semantic-tag-folding.el:666:1:Error: File `/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-seq.elc' was not compiled in Emacs
make: *** [semantic-tag-folding.elc] Error 1


Can someone tell me what this "***.elc was not compiled in Emacs" error means? How can I solve the issue? Thanks.

That's weird. You should get something like:
  
  ;ELC
  ;;; Compiled by root@trouble.defaultvalue.org on Sat Sep  6 21:46:40 2014
  ;;; from file /home/locke/deb/build/emacs/main/debian/build-x/lisp/emacs-lisp/debug.el
  ;;; in Emacs version 24.3.1
  ;;; with all optimizations.

It looks like you are missing ~ the first 100 lines of the file.
Perhaps your .elc files have somehow become corrupted.
Try reinstalling emacs. Something like:

  sudo apt-get install --reinstall emacs24 emacs24-common

Also check your apt/dpkg logs for errors.

Thanks for suggestions!

After reinstalling emacs, the head output looks right:
$ head -n5 /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/emacs-lisp/debug.elc 
;ELC\x17
;;; Compiled by buildd@toyol.buildd on Fri Mar  7 17:44:30 2014
;;; from file /build/buildd/emacs24-24.3+1/debian/build-x/lisp/emacs-lisp/debug.el
;;; in Emacs version 24.3.1
;;; with all optimizations.


But make in cedet directory still has errors below. Is some files still broken?

Please ignore my dumb question. Installed texinfo and everything is ok.
Glenn, thanks a lot for your help!
