Build Emacs 29.4 on Debian 13/Trixie

Build Emacs 29.4 on Debian 13/Trixie

[c.buhtz]

Hello,
I need help with interpreting a build error message.

This is from building Emacs (git clone and tag emacs-29.4) on Debian 
13/Trixie. I had no problems building Emacs 29 myself on Debian 12.
I am also aware that Debian 13 do has an Emacs package.

I do use this command to start building

make distclean && make V=1 configure="--without-sound --without-x 
--with-json --with-native-compilation --with-sqlite3 --with-xml2 
--with-libsystemd --with-gnutls=no --with-jpeg=no --with-tiff=no 
--with-png=no --with-xpm=no --with-webp=no --with-rsvg=no 
--with-tree-sitter --with-gameuser=no"

That is the end of the error output:

...SNIPPED...
'window-setup-hook)))) (setenv "TERM" "dumb") (let ((display 
(frame-parameter nil 'display))) (if (stringp display) (setq display 
(concat "DISPLAY=" display)) (let ((tail initial-environment)) (while 
tail (let ((varval (car tail))) (if (string-match "\\`DISPLAY=" varval) 
(setq display varval)) (setq tail (cdr tail)))))) (if display (progn 
(delete display process-environment)))))

This suggests you built it from a tree in which you had built some other
version.  There's nothing wrong with doing that, but occasionally this
may not work (and `distclean` is not sufficient to clean it up).
Try `make bootstrap`.
