Hi,
Doing a bootstrap compilation fails with file 'characters.el'
The problem reported is:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../lisp/international/characters.elc', needed by `DOC'. Stop.
When I tried to compile it manually I got the following error message:
> emacs.exe -batch -f batch-byte-compile characters.el
Loading d:/Personal/CVS/emacs/lisp/international/uni-category.el (source)...
In toplevel form:
characters.el:1136:1:Error: Symbol's value as variable is void: this-val
Checking the history this section was recently added to revision 1.76 about a week ago.
Can someone fix this please?
Thanks,
Bela

I just updated from CVS, and the reference to that variable appears to
have been removed from characters.el.

I checked the file and it's been unchanged for 13 days.
Doing a bootstrap still fails with exactly the same reason....
This has been confirmed on another machine with a separate environment.

Are the lisp/international/uni-*.el files checked out as binary? (cvs
update -kb lisp/international/uni-*.el)

That was it! Thanks!
Code compiles w/o errors now.

Then, I'd recommend reading nt/INSTALL. The *Preliminaries* section
talks about the files that must be checked out with -kb. Perhaps it
will save you trouble in the future.
Happy compiling,

I've found that if the entire source tree is checked out on Windows
using -kb, the build works just fine. I don't think there's a need to
check out just some files using -kb.

Yes.
But IIRC, when you commit changes to the CVS, -kb files are sent
entirely, while normal non-kb text files are patched (only differences
are sent). That makes a difference for big files like ChangeLogs.

It's the other way round: patches are received (or not) when updating.
When committing (or diffing) the whole contents are always sent, since
CVS does not have the concept of pristine sources, so it cannot compute
the changes locally.

Aha.
Then checking out all the sources with -kb has an even greater impact,
because it affects all updates even if you don't have write access...

Actually, it makes no difference for those cases. It does have some
performance impacts, but the more problematic effet is that CVS
considers such files as unmergeable.
