build failure

[Erich Neuwirth]

I just pulled the latest version of the sources on my MacBook with OSX 10.8.1

Buildung does not work any more, here is the error.
Loading /Users/neuwirth/devel/org-mode/lisp/org-compat.el (source)...
Cannot open load file: ../UTILITIES/org-fixup.el
make[1]: *** [org-version.el] Error 255
make: *** [all] Error 2

So I installed the latest version from ELPA, when I try C-c C-c on the following code segment


#+begin_src R :session *RPisa* :results value
2*3
#+end_src

I get the error

Symbol's value as variable is void: org-current-export-file

I get the same error with the minimal code segment

#+begin_src R  
2*3
#+end_src

Looks like you're behind commit bf352eced, where org-compat.el has been
updated so that it loads utils/org-fixup.el, not UTILITIES/org-fixup.el

Please pull again from git, this is fixed there.

Yes -- still several things to fix to get a working ELPA version.
We're on it.

Let us know if git pull does it for you.  Thanks!

Pulling the latest version and building it made the problem disappear.
org-version says
7.9 (release_7.9-80-gf29660.dirty)

What have you changed to make it "dirty"?

This report is unfortunately not very useful since you don't give any
information at what commit you are.  This is especially irksome as that
information would have been in the output just one line above where
you've cut...

So my best guess is that you just need to run make again and all is well
(and since utils/ has now been renamed mk/ it may happen once again).


Regards,
Achim.

It happens in gnus and org,  either of which I actually use.  What

It's a known problem in file-readable-p; it's being worked on.  See
bug#37475.

Should be fixed now.

Thanks.

Can you please see in the debugger where does it crash?  Here are the
commands to do that if you have GDB installed (the same should work with
dbx):

	cd /users/nicbrown/emacs-21.2/src
	gdb ./emacs core
	where

Please post the debugger's output here.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is of no use: it seems like your Emacs binary is
stripped, so there's no debug info there, and GDB cannot print the
backtrace of function calls that led to the crash for lack of that
information.

Can you build Emacs with the -g switch, run the unstripped binary,
and when it crashes, do what you've done here again, this time with
the unstripped binary?

TIA

If that's how you made Emacs, the binary in the `src' directory should
be unstripped.  Hmm, I wonder why didn't you get a backtrace then.

Maybe it's your GDB version--it sounds very old (1996 was a long time
ago, and it also complained about some part of the .gdbinit file).
What does "gdb --version" print?

Can you try to build the latest GDB and use that, or use dbx?

Another idea is to run Emacs under GDB to begin with, exactly like it
was run by Make when it crashed, and see what happens then.  Here are
the necessary steps, starting from the top-level directory where you
unpacked the Emacs sources:

    cd src
    gdb ./emacs
    (gdb) run -q -batch -f list-load-path-shadows

If all goes well, this should cause the same crash you see during the
build, but this time GDB will kick in, and you should be able to type
the "bt" (or "where") command to display the backtrace.

Re: Build Failure

[Richard Stallman]

What compiler are you using?  Maybe -g has an effect other than
adding debugging information.

It is also possible that unexec manages to handle one case
and not the other.

Re: Build Failure

[Richard Stallman]

    But the big question is, why when I use the default -O2 and don't specify 
    --without-x does it built just fine !?

    the optimisation error obviously only relates to stuff that's included for 
    emacs when there is no X support. any ideas?

You can try compiling various files with different flags
and determine which file is the locus of the problem.

Then you can try splitting that file into two parts, compiling each
part differently, and moving some things between the parts.
then you can find which function is the locus of the problem.

Then someone could study the erroneous assembler code made for that
function and try to find the GCC bug.

But before trying any of this, how about if you install the latest GCC
release and see if it still fails.  There is no point in your spending
time to debug a GCC bug that has been fixed already.

Re: Build Failure

[Richard Stallman]

I think this problem needs a Solaris wizard.  But I suspect the
problem is related to unexec or to use of malloc.

If you see that some Emacs versions work and some fail,
you could try looking for differences between them
that are in unexec or the code that uses malloc, or in the
flags that control these things.  By installing some subsets
of those differences, you might be able to see which ones
trigger the problem.  That would be a good step towards
solving it.
