Make bootstrap fails - MinGW

Make bootstrap fails - MinGW

[Ben Key]

For the last couple of days make bootstrap has been failing with the
following errors when doing the MinGW build:

"./../src/oo-spd/i386/emacs.exe" -batch --no-init-file --no-site-file \

gnumake bootstrap failed!

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to debug / solve this problem?  I am
at a loss.

Also, how can I get a backtrace on an error that occurs during the build
process?  The main reason I am at a loss as to how to fix this problem is I
cannot even determine why number-or-marker-p is getting called, much less
why it is failing.


Thanks.

See what shell command was run, and run it manually under GDB with a
breakpoint at Fsignal.  You can then make a C backtrace
or use xbacktrace to make a Lisp backtrace.

Does that help?

I can't reproduce this error on GNU/Linux.

As the above is the last step of building, you already have
an executable emacs.  So could you please try this?

% cd d:/emacssrc/21.3/leim
% ../src/oo-spd/i386/emacs.exe -q --no-site-file

and in the started emacs,

M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET
ESC : (update-leim-list-file ".") RET
