"make bootstrap" fails for the latest EMACS_22_BASE head on OS X

[Anupam Sengupta]

Dear Emacs Gurus,

Apologies if this is the wrong list to post this message.

For the last few days (since 7/22?), I have not been able to successfully build
Carbon Emacs on OS X using the latest CVS code from the EMACS_22_BASE.

The platform I am using is PPC G4/OS X 10.4.10 I last successfully build Emacs
on 7/20/07 on the same machine.

The steps I have been following are:

(in the wd for emacs code)

$ make distclean
$ cvs update
$ ./configure --enable-carbon-app
$ make bootstrap

[..]

Compiling /Users/anupam/code/emacs/emacs/lisp/./vc-arch.el
Wrote /Users/anupam/code/emacs/emacs/lisp/vc-arch.elc
Compiling /Users/anupam/code/emacs/emacs/lisp/./vc-cvs.el
Wrote /Users/anupam/code/emacs/emacs/lisp/vc-cvs.elc
Compiling /Users/anupam/code/emacs/emacs/lisp/./vc-hg.el

In toplevel form:
vc-hg.el:295:41:Error: Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'
make[2]: *** [compile] Error 1
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-build] Error 2
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

The make process fails during byte-compilation of vc-hg.el.

Thanks!

I checked in a fix that works around the problem, so the bootstrap
should succeed now.

Does the patch below fix it?

Thanks Dan. The fix works fine and build completed successfully.
