bug#17225: 24.4.50; emacs -Q "d:\some\dir": "Symbol's function definition is void: dired-noselect"

[Drew Adams]

I started Emacs using a Windows shortcut with this Target:
D:\MY-EMACS-LOCATION\bin\runemacs.exe -Q --debug-init "d:\SOME\DIR"

I immediately got this error:

I cannot reproduce this here (with a trunk revision only slightly
newer than yours: 116956).  Please see if some local configuration
could be the cause.

No, this isn't a local configuration issue. I can reproduce it with
the same snapshot that Drew is using, but the bug is gone with the
current trunk, though I have no idea which commit fixed it...

Anyway, I'm building a snapshot from today's trunk, it should be
available shortly.

On its way. Closing.

Try using the exact same build, perhaps?  It is from Juanma.

I don't know of any local configuration.  What did you have in mind?

As I said in the recipe, I started Emacs from a Windows shortcut,
with the shortcut as described.  The only things I left out of the
info about the shortcut are these:

1. The exact absolute file names ("paths") for runemacs.exe and
the directory visited by Dired.

2. The fact that I have the "Start in:" field pointing to that
same diretory (that is used for Dired).  So Emacs should start
in that directory, showing Dired for it.

Thank you. Feel free to close the bug in that case.

FWIW, the shortcut wasn't necessary. I could reproduce it with

 emacs -Q --debug-init "C:\devel\emacs"

FWIW, I tried both methods.

Sure. I think the bug appeared on

  116945: Stefan Monnier 2014-04-06 * lisp/dired-aux.el
(dired-file-set-difference): Use lexical-scoping.

and likely disappeared with

  116948: Glenn Morris 2014-04-07 Auto-commit of loaddefs files.

so the window to hit the bug was short indeed. But certainly, it is
perfectly repeatable with my emacs-trunk-20140407-r116947-bin-i386.zip
snapshot.
