bug#59532: 28.2; Unable to build emacs with tree-sitter installed

bug#59532: 28.2; Unable to build emacs with tree-sitter installed

[Thierry Volpiatto]

I started from a clean emacs directory (git clean -fdx).
Then I tried with a simple configuration after generating ./configure
(./autogen.sh).
./configure worked fine, finding properly tree-sitter and other libraries:

So ./configure is finding tree-sitter but not make.

NOTE: The only way I found to install tree-sitter was cloning from
github and run make && make install.

Thanks.

More accurately, temacs cannot find tree-sitter when it runs from Make.

When you do that, where are libtree-sitter.so and libtree-sitter.so.0
installed? in which directory on your system?  Is that directory the same as
the one where you have the other shared libraries used by Emacs, like the
image libraries or GnuTLS?

No, these files are installed in /usr/local/lib.

Then I think you need to tweak tree-sitter's Makefile, or use "make install
PREFIX=/SOME/DIRECTORY", to install the shared libraries and header files
where the rest of them are installed on your system.  In any case, so that
the shared libraries end up in a directory that the dynamic linker scans for
shared libraries on your system.

Yes, of course I can do that but it seems weird that ./configure locate
these files and make doesn't, isn't it?

The configure script doesn't run any programs, it only tries to compile and
link them.  By contrast, the build process does run Emacs, and that requires
to find the library (if the Lisp code processed by temacs needs to call the
library).

So the documentation in emacs/admin/notes/tree-sitter/starter-guide is
wrong (* Building Emacs with tree-sitter).

It is not wrong, it just assumes a well-configured system, where shared
libraries live in a sensible place.

No, if one follow the directions in "* Building Emacs with tree-sitter"
it will fail, well-configured system or not as long as you consider
"/usr/local/lib" as a wrong place to install tree-sitter.  I just remind
you that it is tree-sitter itself with make+make install that install
tree-sitter libs in this place.
I just say that for people trying to install tree-sitter, if it just for
me I am fine with "--without-tree-sitter".

/usr/local/lib is not a wrong place.  Depending on your system
configuration, it might be right or it might be wrong.

No, that's the tree-sitter's _default_.  When you use its Makefile, you are
supposed to review it and change the default as needed.

Those notes are not for everyone, they will be deleted soon.  They were
meant to help people who wanted to work on new modes based on tree-sitter.

I don’t think there is anything we need to do, so I’m closing this. Feel
free to reopen, of course :-)
