Emacs pretest 24.2.93

Emacs pretest 24.2.93

[Glenn Morris]

The next pretest for what will be the Emacs 24.3 release is available at

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-24.2.93.tar.xz

Please give it as much testing as you can.
As always, if you encounter problems building or using Emacs,
send a report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org with full details
(if possible, use M-x report-emacs-bug).

Since the last pretest, there have been a couple of fixes related to
mouse handling, so please pay particular attention to that aspect.

Hopefully, this is close to what will be the actual release.
If you package Emacs for a distribution, it would be great if you can
check that this pretest works for you.

bug#13651: Emacs pretest 24.2.93

[Glenn Morris]

First, there is zero need to cc emacs-devel on bug reports.

You don't need to bootstrap a pretest. Why are you doing that?
Just configure; make; make install.

There is a maintainer-clean rule in oldXMenu/Makefile.in, so I don't
know why this happened to you. Did oldXMenu/Makefile exist?

I guess you already deleted your src/Makefile at this point.


I'm pretty confused as to what you are doing. Did you just extract the
tarfile and run `make bootstrap'? You need to configure, then make, then
make install, as is standard.

[Ota, Takaaki]

I did

$ tar Jxvf emacs-24.2.93.tar.xz
$ cd emacs-24.2.93
$ ./configure --prefix ....
$ make bootstrap

bootstrap may not be necessary but this shouldn't fail right?

Works for me.

After the configure step, did you have oldXMenu/Makefile?
Did configure complete without errors/problems?

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating lib/Makefile
config.status: creating lib-src/Makefile
config.status: creating oldXMenu/Makefile
etc

OK, I will retry from scratch later.  Thanks for the confirmation.

I am sorry it was a false alarm.  I failed to notice that my
configuration was failed due to missing makeinfo.  After installing
makeinfo and started the process all over bootstrap finished without
an issue.

Of course, if you don't bootstrap you won't need makeinfo. :)

Do you plan making next pretests only available as .xz too?

Fetching it right now.  Previous pretests were perfectly fine on
OpenBSD-current (i386 and powerpc).

Not sure. This was kind of an experiment to see if anyone complained. :)
I checked a (very) few other GNU packages, and they seem to have
switched to xz only a few years ago. Is it a problem for you?

(With the actual release I guess I'll add .gz as well.)

Not really a problem with pretests, but with actual releases.  OpenBSD
still supports vax, but xz doesn't build there, so .xz (only) tarballs
would make Emacs harder to build.  On the other hand, last time
I checked, Emacs 24.2 didn't build on OpenBSD/vax, but who knows... :)

That would be nice, thanks.

24.2.93 seems OK so far on i386.

Compiles and works good on Arch GNU/Linux x86_64.

AFAIK Emacs dropped vax support ages ago.

Actually, we dropped VMS support, but I don't see any reason why BSD on
VAX couldn't be made to work,

A quick search says the last VAX was manufactured 8 years ago.

Also good on Debian GNU/Linux with amd64, GTK+ 3.6.0, en_US.UTF-8, and
`--enable-link-time-optimization'.

My trusty Thinkpad X30 will celebrate its 10th birthday later this year,
but it still runs Debian testing just fine (except for the mouse
buttons which died a while ago).

Builds and run ok with mingw gcc 4.7.2 on Windows XP (32bit).

Maybe we don't need to be vaxed by that code any more.

Has been running with no problems since Saturday.
