Mac OS X: Rebuild Require after Security Update 2002-11-21

[Andrew Choi]

The 2002-11-21 Security Update seems to cause Emacs executables built
before the update to fail.  Rebuilding will make them work again.  I
realize this is an annoying problem.  But I must admit currently I have
no idea how to solve it.

Not suprisingly (given the thread from 11/11/02), rebuilding won't work
for me.  I was running 10.2.1 without the security patch unti this
evening: tonigth I installed both.  

My 'bootstrap-emacs' fails with a seg. fault (undefined references to
_BC, _PC, and _UP  -- all expected from libSystem.B.dylib).

In  the prior thread lots of  folks seemed to be able to build, but all
the builds I could find posted are broke on my machine now (prob. from
the security patch).

Anyone got a working version built *after* installation of the security
patch that  they can post? (or, better yet, know why the build breaks
on some machines?)

Oh, yeah - things are the same whether or not I download totally new,
fresh source from CVS.

Thanks!
   Josh.

I have one I can post, but I don't have anywhere to post it.  If you
can point me at server I can upload to, I'll do it immediately.

Several possiblities were mentioned in the earlier discussion.  Did
you investigate all those?

Re: Mac OS X: Rebuild Require after Security Update 2002-11-21

I wiped all the emacs remnants out of /usr/local and the CVS tip built
after that.  

I always have to make one change when I build, though: I have to add
"x-win.el" to the DONTCOMPILE list in lisp/Makefile.  I would generate
a patch for this, but 
a.) it's trivial, and 
b.) I suspect something may be wrong with my build tree, anyway,
because I'm still not getting emacs in a .app wrapper.  However, I have
a terminal version that works so I'll live with that for now.

One other note: I had also previously run the disk utility to fix
permissions, although on my machine there only seemed to be one file
with less permissive attributes than it should have had, and that file
was in NetInfo, so I doubt the permissions thing did much for me.  

Thanks for the help.  I hope the notes above can help someone else
build.  

        Josh.

I had a feeling that was the source of trouble -- either that or not
doing 'make distclean' first.

You shouldn't have to make this change, and you should have an
Emacs.app in the emacs/mac directory.  Did you run the configure step
with "--with-carbon"?  Last time this came up someone posted their
build steps and they'd omitted this.  I pointed it out, but there was
never any further response on the subject.

Is that really any more useful than Apple's build?

I had done a make distclean already, so it seems to have been the stuff
in /usr/local (wouldn't guarantee it, though).

I specified --with-carbon and --without-x, and I still had to alter the
DONTCOMPILE list.  I have no X-windows on this machine: do most people
build with X installed?

No, it's not ;-(.  What I really want is a nice LaTeX mode.  I've got
to go away from my internet connection now, but perhaps I'll try to
investigate more when I can.

Cheers.

Very strange.  Sounds like it's trying to compile something
Windows-specific and therefore failing, but I don't understand why
these configuration options would lead to that result.

I don't know about most people, but I've had XFree installed pretty
much as long as I've been running osx.  I have plenty of occasions to
run xemacs remotely on my Mac.  Otoh for these purposes it shouldn't
matter one way or the other if you configure emacs --without-x (as I
do).

I, too, have been unable to build emacs from the sources:

  $ cvs update
  $ make distclean
  $ ./configure --with-carbon --without-x
  $ make bootstrap
  [...]
  Recursive `require' for feature `help-fns'
  make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 255
  make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

Can anyone help me here?  Thanks!

This is from the News section of my web page.

  November 24, 2002

  The CVS seems broken for bootstrapping again. Please try an earlier
  version (yesterday's) or try doing this after updating to the latest
  version before running `make bootstrap':

    cvs update -r 1.272 lisp/faces.el
    cvs update -r 1.29 lisp/cus-face.el

Well, in case anyone else is having the same difficulty, my problem was

Now that installed the correct developer tools from apple's web-site cvs 
compiles out of the box (except for the current, temporary problem with 
faces.el & cus-face.el), with no modification to exclude x-win.el, and I 
get an Emacs.app wrapper.

Thanks for all the help - hope I didn't add too much confusion to the 
list.

Cheers -

I've been saved twice now by http://www.porkrind.org/emacs/
by David Caldwell who's put up dmg packages after the 12.2.2 and
now the security patch upgrades.

Thank's David!
