bug#46790: 28.0.50; make install with native-comp branch

[Thierry Volpiatto]

Hello,

giving a try to native-comp branch.

I install Emacs generaly with:

make install bindir=/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50 infodir=/usr/local/share/info-28.0.50

This always worked fine.  However with native-comp branch, I have to
manually add a symlink of "/usr/local/lib/emacs/28.0.50/native-lisp/" to
"/usr/local/sbin" otherwise I endup with an error:

thierry@IPadS340:/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50$ ls
ctags  ebrowse  emacs  emacs-28.0.50  emacsclient  etags

Hmm... I'm not sure we can resolve this in any other way, although we
should try.  What worked for you with previous versions was just a
side effect of the implementation detail: how Emacs finds the files it
needs when it starts.  The *.eln files bring more restrictions to the
table, and it could very well be that the symlink trick will be the
only practical solution to such a non-standard installation.

A possible solution is to set EMACSNATIVELOADPATH in the environment.

Alternatively, you could modify your Emacs to look in the correct
directory by default.

I am sure you will find some makefile magic for this.

This not really a non standard installation, it is documented in INSTALL
since always, I use this installation to manage different Emacs
versions (the executables in sbin/emacs-xxx are symlinked in bin).

I am not sure also if everything is working properly with a "standard"
installation, i.e. in /usr/local/bin, is in this case the native-lisp
dir found?

Didn't know this env var.

Don't know how to do this, anyway all methods should be documented.

Thanks.

Documented where?  INSTALL explains the meaning of each Makefile
variable, but it never says that any arbitrary combination of their
values will work.

When you configure Emacs, the place is recorded in epaths.h, exactly
like the directory for Lisp files is.

The documentation is not yet complete.

In any case, I don't think this issue should block the merge of the
branch.

As the error is while resurrecting from dump I think acting on the load
path will not help as in this phase we relocate elns simply by filename.

Thierry, are you specifying your custom bindir only when installing or
also while building?  If the case is the first could you please try
again setting bindir also while building?

Sorry for not responding earlier, I've been in round robin on the issues
I had the feeling were higher priority but was still in my todo list :)

I don't think this can fly.  "make FOOdir=FOO" is a paradigm for
installing parts of Emacs in specified directories without rebuilding.

I think if we want to support this, the PATH_REL_LOADSEARCH trick is
incorrect: we need to look for native-lisp directory relative to
PATH_LOADSEARCH, i.e. relative to where the Lisp files are installed.
Is this possible?  The part that worries me is that we need to find
these *.eln files very early during the process of restoring from the
pdumper file, where we don't yet have all the directories handy.

I share your same worries (almost certainties here).

Only when installing.

How, is this allowed or even possible?

No problems, congrats for the huge work.

make bootstrap bindir=/xxx

I think ATM this should work (would be nice if you could check this),
reading Eli's opinion we may change it tho.

I tried and it is working partially.

Calling emacs from /usr/local/sbin works, however when I symlink
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50 to /usr/local/bin I have the
same error:

bug#46790: 28.0.50; [native-comp] Emacs doesn't start when run from a symlink

[Phil Sainty]

I've compiled the feature/native-comp branch and it starts if I run
the real path to the executable; but if I run it from a symlink it
fails:

$ ls -l /home/phil/bin/emacs-native-comp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 phil phil 48 Apr 14 00:01 /home/phil/bin/emacs-native-comp -> /home/phil/emacs/native-comp/usr/local/bin/emacs

$ emacs-native-comp -Q
emacs: /home/phil/bin/../native-lisp/28.0.50-abd7aa58/preloaded/window-0d1b8b93-513ac8ca.eln: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Looking relative to the symlink itself is clearly wrong.  Something
like `file-truename' should surely be utilised here.  (GNU readlink
with the -m option does much the same thing, if that's at all helpful.)

I'm sending to what looks like a duplicate bug, although my case seems
like a more standard configuration -- I'm not passing a custom 'bindir'
to 'make install'; I'm simply using the normal 'configure --prefix=...'
(see below).

Andrea, I think the code which resolves symlinks in load_pdump should
also affect how Vinvocation_directory etc. are computed in
set_invocation_vars.

Hi Phil,

thanks for reporting, yeah this was reported already in #44128, I'll try
to see how we can solve it.

Thanks

Hi Thierry,

I suspect your bug has now been fixed in #44128.
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=44128

Could you re-test with the latest feature/native-comp revision?

I think only as long as $(libdir) and $(libexecdir) keep their
relative locations.

We don't really support separate unsynchronized locations for the
various *dir variables used to install Emacs.  The official way of
moving the entire installation is by either specifying prefix= or by
DESTDIR=.

Don't know what you are speaking about, the problem is with

make install bindir=foo

which IS documented in INSTALL.

This is unrelated, I don't want to do this.

So please describe the details of the deployment in your case:

  . where is the _real_ Emacs executable?
  . where is the symlink to it?
  . are you invoking the symlink explicitly or via PATH?
  . where is the .pdmp file?
  . where is the installed native-lisp/ directory?

(When I say "where" above, I mean what is the exact absolute file name
of that file or directory.  Also whether it's a symlink or not, and in
the former case where does the symlink point.)

Thanks.

Also I've now tried to improve the diagnostics when Emacs fails to
find the *.eln files, so please report what it says when it fails.

In addition: you said earlier:

Maybe I misunderstand the problem.  Your original report quoted error
messages like these:

> thierry <at> IPadS340:/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50$ ./emacs-28.0.50
> emacs: /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/../native-lisp/28.0.50-40158ec0/window-0d1b8b93-738411b0.eln: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

AFAIK these are fatal errors: Emacs doesn't start up when it reports
these.  But you seem to be saying Emacs does start in your case?  Then
what do you mean by "is not finding needed libraries"?

As I said before I found this bug when using dired-async-mode from
emacs-async package. When trying to copy a file nothing happened, no
child emacs process was made. As soon I symlinked the native-lisp/
directory in /usr/local/sbin dired-async started working, now it is no
more working symlink or not, I guess emacs --batch is not finding the
necessary libraries to start, but now unsure.

Yes I sent this because I thought it was a straight forward way to show
the problem, however the strange thing was emacs was starting with no
apparent errors from its symlink in /usr/local/bin/

Wait a minute: you are saying that starting "emacs" with your
installation works well, and the problem happens only when you use the
dired-async-mode?  If so, it's a different problem from what I
thought, sorry for not realizing this earlier.

I think we need to see how "emacs --batch" is invoked in your
scenario, in order for us to understand the problem you have.  can you

Are these messages emitted by the "emacs --batch" invocation done by
dired-async-mode, or are they shown when you start your interactive
Emacs session?

You will find the code in async-start function in async.el

No, unfortunately it is really hard to get error messages from async.el.
These message came from calling ./emacs or ./emacs-28.0.50 from
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/.
However if it may help, it seems the process buffer is created, and then
the process (emacs) never start, here the contents of the "*emacs*"
buffer (emacs started with "./emacs" from /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50 directory):

But below you say:

So now I'm completely confused.  I don't think I understand whether
Emacs fails to start interactively, or it starts and then
dired-async-mode fails because invoking an inferior Emacs in batch
mode fails (or crashes, see below).

This is a backtrace from an abort or crash.  Even more weird.

I installed some change that might fix the problem.  If not, I'm
afraid someone else who is smarter than I am will have to investigate
this.  Thank you for your time and help.

Btw, this part of the backtrace:

clearly indicates that Emacs did find the preloaded *.eln files, and
the place where it found them was the correct one.  So it really could
be that the crash and/or the failures of dired-async-mode have nothing
to do with the code which looks for the *.eln files, but with
something entirely different.

Just tried and it still the same.
Probably we should start back from where it was working for me with my
symlink workaround and see why it was working like this and not now?

Can you show the full "ln -s" command which created that symlink?

So lets restart from beginning:

I rebuilded emacs starting at b064ddd3f60 and trying to copy a file
with dired-async, it fails with error in process buffer "*emacs*" with:

emacs:
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/../native-lisp/28.0.50-2f134e58/preloaded/window-0d1b8b93-581f9fcd.eln:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then I do the symlink (here from /usr/local/sbin/ directory):

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/emacs/28.0.50/native-lisp/ .

And now I can copy a file from dired-async with no error even without
restarting emacs. If you want to reproduce you can bypass dired-async
and use something like this much simpler which avoid possible errors
from something else and need no configuration:

    (async-start
     (lambda ()
       (copy-file "~/.emacs.d/init.el" "~/tmp/")))

you should have now a buffer "*emacs*" with same contents as above.

then make the symlink as described above and run the same snippet, you
should see your init file copied.

Hope that helps.

That's too fast.  Let's make one step back.  Before you copy the file
with dired-async, you start the interactive Emacs session, right?  Or
do you start dired-async in batch mode directly from the shell prompt?

That's understandable with the code that was on the branch back then.
But the code have changed a lot (to support Emacs invocation via
symlinks), and it changed in a way that should have worked for you
even without the symlink to native-lisp/.  So what happens with the
branch HEAD if you start Emacs as "emacs -Q" when there's no symlink
in /usr/local/sbin/ to native-lisp/? does it start or does it crash or
does it display some error message and fails to start?

This is a sexp you evaluate in a running Emacs session, right?  So how
did that running Emacs session start successfully if you say that you
needed the symlink to native-lisp/ ?

I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm still in the dark wrt what
exactly do you do to reproduce the problem and what happens when you
do that.

Yes from PATH with emacs which is a symlink in /usr/local/bin pointing
to /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50.

And yes emacs starts fine like this. And if I start it from 
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50 with ./emacs it fails to
start with always the same error:

emacs: /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/../native-lisp/28.0.50-2f134e58/preloaded/window-0d1b8b93-581f9fcd.eln: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I also don't understand why emacs start from /usr/local/bin/emacs (the
symlink) but not directly from the true directory
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50 with ./emacs.

No.

Yes it starts.
But then fails with dired-async with and without the native-lisp/ symlink.

Yes.

As said above it starts fine from /usr/local/bin but fails from
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50 and running ./emacs.

No problems.

Is this the latest branch HEAD?  If so, it should display 2 lines
instead of one when it fails to find the *.eln files.  I need to see
both of those two lines.

If the above is not with the branch HEAD, please do build and install
the latest branch.  The code changes since b064ddd3f60 are needed for
other use cases, so we won't revert them.  We need to understand why
the latest code doesn't work for you.

Thanks.

I am back with the branch at HEAD, as I said before, I can't have the
error lines you ask because there is no more error at startup, only when
using async-start or dired-async, sorry.

OK.  So the interactive session starts as expected, whether you invoke
Emacs by "emacs" via PAYH or by its explicit absolute file name
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50 or by going into
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50 and typing "./emacs", right?  So I think
there's progress.

I will see what can be done to understand why async-start fails.

In any case, what error messages do you see with async-start now? can
you show those messages in their entirety?

Thanks.

Nothing more helpful than the output in *emacs* buffer process I sent
previously.

Thanks.

So the async-start invocation crashes with a backtrace?  And the file
names of the *.eln files shown in the backtrace are the correct file
names?

Perhaps something like this will help?

emacs --batch -f package-initialize -l async \
  --eval "(message \"%s\" (executable-find \"emacs\"))" \
  --eval "(pp (async-get (async-start (lambda ()
          (list comp-eln-load-path (pdumper-stats))))))"

If my reading of async.el is correct, it invoces the inferior Emacs
like this:

    (setq async--procvar
          (async-start-process
           "emacs" (file-truename
                    (expand-file-name invocation-name
                                      invocation-directory))
           finish-func
           async-quiet-switch "-l"
           ;; Using `locate-library' ensure we use the right file
           ;; when the .elc have been deleted.
           (locate-library "async")
           "-batch" "-f" "async-batch-invoke"
           (if async-send-over-pipe
               "<none>"
             (with-temp-buffer
               (async--insert-sexp (list 'quote sexp)) (buffer-string)))))

Thierry, what does the below yield in the interactive session from
which you invoke async-start?

  M-: (file-truename (expand-file-name invocation-name invocation-directory)) RET

With my emacs started from PATH with "emacs" where emacs is a symlink:

    /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50

which is the correct path:

    (expand-file-name invocation-name invocation-directory)

==>/usr/local/bin/emacs

    (file-truename "/usr/local/bin/emacs")

==> /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50

This is the same executable file name using which to start the
interactive session does work, as far as I remember.  So I don't
understand why async-start crashes, sounds like an unrelated issue
with the native-comp feature.

Don't know, I will try to build another emacs without native comp to see
if I can reproduce the bug.

I found what was wrong in dired-async :-), it was a simple paren error
in a condition-case which is here since years and emacs up to recent
changes in master never detect.
What confused me is that initialy dired-async failed in the same way due
to the symlink bug I reported, then you made some change to fix this
symlink problem but in the same time, a change occur that doesn't
support condition-case with such paren error!

Before:

    (condition-case err
       (some-code)
     (file-error (handle-error-code))
     nil)

Now:

    (condition-case err
       (some-code)
     (file-error (handle-error-code) nil))

I didn't try with native-compilation yet, but it should work.

Thanks and sorry to take your time on this.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved

This was a long thread, and I only lightly skimmed it, but does this
mean that things work fine for you now, and this bug report can be
closed?

Is that the only place where you have the emacs.pdmp file that

Only one for each emacs except 26* ones but they are not using this
mechanism (pdumper) isn't it?

Surely, you have at least one more in the directory where you built
Emacs?  Or did you remove that directory after building?

No, there is no such file there, where should it be located normally?

No I kept it.

In the src directory, where you have the Emacs executable.

Yes, there is 3 such files in src/, couldn't find them because my search
tool was ignoring files which are in .gitignore.

And these or their directories are not symlinked from somewhere else?

I'm asking because the current code on the branch looks for the
native-lisp directory relatively to the directory of the .pdmp file,
so if Emacs picks up the .pdmp file from some unexpected directory,
perhaps via a symlink, it could decide to look for native-lisp in the
wrong place.

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas, then.

Would it be possible for you to give me an ssh login on your machine
and set up a guest account where I could run Emacs produced from that
branch's HEAD under GDB?  I'd need an unstripped binary of Emacs
installed as you do and access to the source tree identical to one you
used to build the branch.  I assume the same problem happens with
"emacs -nw", so I will not need any X forwarding support.

If this is possible, I think debugging of this tricky issue will be
much easier and more efficient, and will yield a solution faster.

TIA

On a hunch I installed some potential fix on the branch.  Could you
please see if it solves your problem?

/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/

This directory is not a symlink, it contains emacs-28.0.50 executable
and its symlink emacs.

/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/ctags
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/ebrowse
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs -> emacs-28.0.50
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacsclient
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/etags

>   
>   . where is the symlink to it?

/usr/local/bin/

The symlink is from /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50, not
from /usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs which is itself a symlink of
/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50 (see above).

>   . are you invoking the symlink explicitly or via PATH?

Via PATH, i.e. with emacs.

>   . where is the .pdmp file?

Didn't find such file.

>   . where is the installed native-lisp/ directory?

/usr/local/lib/emacs/28.0.50/

Not a symlink.

It should be under /usr/local/libexec, please try finding it.  Its
name should be emacs.pdmp.  Its location is important for
understanding why things don't work for you.

Then it ought to have worked.  There's some factor at work here that
I'm missing...

Could you please update to the latest branch, build and install it,
then try invoking Emacs via PATH.  The error message, if it happens,
should provide more information, which perhaps will explain what I am
missing.

P.S. Just to be sure we are on the same page: you are building with
just "make" and then installing with "make install bindir=.. infodir=..",
right?

bug#46790: 28.0.50; make install with native-comp branch

[Phil Sainty]

In case it helps, I've just tried to do a similar test on my system.

I didn't reconfigure from my previous tests, so I'm still using this:

./configure --prefix=/home/phil/emacs/native-comp/usr/local \
  --with-x-toolkit=lucid --without-sound --with-native-compilation

I then used the 'bindir' and 'infodir' options to install those
somewhere else:

make install \
  bindir=/home/phil/emacs/native-comp/elsewhere/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50 \
  infodir=/home/phil/emacs/native-comp/elsewhere/usr/local/share/info-28.0.50

Next I created a symlink to the new executable:

/home/phil/bin/etest -> /home/phil/emacs/native-comp/elsewhere/usr/local/sbin/emacs-28.0.50/emacs-28.0.50

And this seems to work.  Running it gives me:

$ etest --batch --eval "(print comp-eln-load-path)" --eval "(print (pdumper-stats))"

("/home/phil/.emacs.d/eln-cache/" "/home/phil/emacs/native-comp/usr/local/lib/emacs/28.0.50/native-lisp/")

((dumped-with-pdumper . t) (load-time . 0.021803813) (dump-file-name . "/home/phil/emacs/native-comp/usr/local/libexec/emacs/28.0.50/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/emacs.pdmp"))

Just tried now with 062e5994802 and no it is not working, worst the workaround
I found i.e. symlinking native-lisp/ to /usr/local/sbin is no more
working as well. Emacs IS starting though but is not finding needed
libraries.

It is reproducible by using dired-async and trying to copy a file, no
child emacs process is created.

bug#46790: 28.1; Bug#46790 reintroduced; Was make install with native-comp

[Thierry Volpiatto]

It seems bug#46790 has been reintroduced as I have this error when
running emacs after installing:

Error using execdir /usr/local/sbin/emacs-29.0.50/:
emacs: /usr/local/sbin/emacs-29.0.50/../native-lisp/29.0.50-ca991e8a/preloaded/window-0d1b8b93-0c17e2d3.eln: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I fixed it by setting in my ~/.profile EMACSNATIVELOADPATH.

Thanks.

   invoked when you start Emacs "normally"
 . if that binary is a symlink, how is the symlink defined (is the
   file itself a symlink or is the directory a symlink?), and where
   does that symlink point
 . what is the directory where you have the pdumper file, and what is
   its name
 . if the pdumper file is itself a symlink, please provide the same

 . where is the native-lisp/ directory with the *.eln files produced
   during the build

In each case, please show the full absolute name of the files I'm
asking about.

Thanks.

In addition, please tell how you configured Emacs, i.e. please show
the full command line with which you invoked the configure script.

I think that's the problem: installing the binary in a directory other
than $execdir/bin needs to configure with --bindir accordingly set.
Emacs built with native compilation records at build time the way to
get to native-lisp/ directory starting from the directory where the
Emacs binary is installed, so you must use --bindir at configure time
to let the build process know where the binary will be installed.  It
is no longer enough to set bindir only at "make install" time.

Emacs 28.1, as released, could work without --bindir, but that was at
a price of effectively dropping the support for --bindir
configure-time switch, something I don't want to do, since it's a
regression.

So please try re-configuring with

  ./configure CFLAGS='-O8' --bindir=/usr/local/sbin/emacs-29.0.50 --with-mailutils --with-cairo --with-native-compilation

and tell if the problem is solved by that after you install the
resulting binary.

Thanks.

Great, thanks for testing.

I guess we should mention this new requirement in NEWS or something.
I will take care of that.
