I call make with PATH=~/path/to/emacs-25/src:$PATH make -k , and I've inserted a "-Q" into the definition of EMACS in GNUMakefile. But I get a near infinite number of errors like: Error loading autoloads: (file-error Cannot open load file No such file or directory tex-site) , always complaining about the one file tex-site. tex-site.el is in the auctex package. Have you any notion as to why so many files are trying to load tex-site.el/c, and why they're not finding it? > I rebuild in this way on a regular basis, so I'm pretty sure that it > works to some extent, but there might be issues with the initial > setup, or temporary problems.
