The build process always balks at the bootstrap stage with the following message: ---------------- Loading loadup.el (source)... Using load-path (/home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/lisp /home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/ lisp/emacs-lisp \ /home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/lisp/language /home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/lisp/ international \ /home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/lisp/textmodes) Loading emacs-lisp/byte-run (compiled; note, source file is newer)... Invalid coding system: emacs-mule make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 255 make: *** [src] Error 2 --------------------- My build environment is quite pristine, no libraries from fink, etc., interfering with those installed by Xcode. Here's how I run configure --------------------- CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-pointer-sign" ./configure \ --enable-locallisppath=$HOME/elisp \ --without-pop \ --without-kerberos \ --without-kerberos5 \ --without-sound \ --without-x \ -without-toolkit-scroll-bars \ --without-dbus \ --without-gpm \ --with-ns \ --enable-cocoa-experimental-ctrl-g -------------------------- Although I don't understand the last option, the build fails with or without it. It might not be a bug after all, but I have seen update after update to the cvs repository but the build failure refuses to go away. It's in sheer frustration that I'm resorting to sending a mail to the bugs list. Hopefully someone can figure out the problem, or has seen this issue elsewhere. Help much appreciated, Ritesh.
