It : fails in make boostrap with the following: : : Wrote c:/emacscvs/emacs/lisp/finder-inf.el : touch cus-load.el : Can't touch cus-load.el - No such file or directory : make[1]: *** [cus-load.el] Error 1 : make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/emacscvs/emacs/lisp' : make: *** [bootstrap-gmake] Error 2 Jason Rumney pointed out that cus-load.el is an autogenerated file (which I saw too late). I can't really understand the makerules for this: doit: cus-load.el: touch $@ custom-deps: cus-load.el doit @echo Directories: $(WINS) -$(emacs) -l cus-dep --eval $(ARGQUOTE)(setq find-file-hooks nil)$(ARGQUOTE) -f custom-make-dependencies $(lisp) $(WINS) Why do custom-deps have "prerequisites"? Could not these just be removed? (May the "touch $@" should be replaced with a command "touch cus-load.el" at the bottom - if it is needed?) Does the prerequisites have something to do with different make programs? Does not this always fail the first time, before cus-load.el exists? (I have read that many people say that make bootstrap often fails, it that problem connected with this?) - Lennart
