make bootstrap fails

make bootstrap fails

[Chris Van Dusen]

Hi,

I checked out Emacs from bzr yesterday, and was trying to build it, but received the error below after performing the following steps:

$ sh autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-ns
$ make bootstrap
.
.
.
Generating autoloads for desktop.el...
Generating autoloads for desktop.el...done
Generating autoloads for dframe.el...
Generating autoloads for dframe.el...done
Making generated-autoload-file local to  *autoload-file* while let-bound!

Error: (error "Running bzr status --no-classify dired.el...FAILED (status 4)")
Running bzr status --no-classify dired.el...FAILED (status 4)
make[3]: *** [autoloads] Error 255
make[2]: *** [/Users/chrisvandusen/src/emacs/src/../lisp/loaddefs.el] Error 2
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

This is on Mac OS 10.6.8.

Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this?  If there is more info needed, just let me know.


Thanks,
Chris.

    If there is more info needed, just let me know.

I had the same problem above the other day.

In my case the bzr command didn't work properly because I
install Python under ~/local and I needed to set PYTHONPATH
correctly.

I guess your bzr executed from the make command doesn't work
well. Why don't you check about it.

For your convenience.

What happens if you go to the lisp directory and type this at the
shell prompt:

 bzr status --no-classify dired.el

Interesting.  Here's the output:

Looks like your bzr installation is broken.  (And why do you have
bzrlib in site-packages? perhaps it's an incompatible version of
bzrlib?)

I'm not sure about bzrlib. I'm using the bzr bundle for 10.6., and it's the latest stable version. 

I'll look closer at the bzr aspect, and report back. 

Thanks,

Please report it as a bug.  It might be triggered by a problematic
installation of Bzr or something else, but Emacs's build should not fail
just because it can't determine the VC status of a file.

The simple solution is just to disable all vc backends while building
(not like they can do anything at all except cause a slow-down), as
previously suggested:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-08/msg00461.html

However there was some opposition to the idea.

As explained back then: if it's a problem while building Emacs, there's
no reason to think it won't be a problem in other use cases.  So it
should be fixed the right way, rather than swept under the carpet.

So if I fix this bug, and add something to test/automated/vc.bzr.el to
prevent it coming back, may I then turn off vc during the Emacs build?

No, because it might hide other bugs.  We want to eat our own dog-food.

IMO, it's making people who want to build Emacs eat dog food.

We should write more VC test cases, rather than forcing people who just
want to build the thing to test it for us. I've added one for this case,
and fixed it.

I can understand (and agree with) a dog food eating policy, but it seems 
like it would be in a test, not the actual build.

Regardless, I was able to build it. Thanks!
