Subject: broken bootstrap build on 2004 Mar 18
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 13:11:51 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1B3xJP-000UMvC@rattlesnake.com> (raw)
Originally, I thought this had to do with the new vc-arch.el file, but
deleting it has no effect. A newly recreated loaddefs.el file has no
effect either. I am stumped.
Using today's CVS snapshot, Thu, 2004 Mar 18 12:07 UTC
I was unable to build GNU Emacs with this command
(progn
(cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/")
(compile
"./configure --with-type1 \
--with-x-toolkit=gtk --with-pop \
--prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes \
&& time make bootstrap"))
The configure proceeded without reported error, then after starting
the bootstrap, this appeared:
Loading vc-cvs...
Loading vc-arch...
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
make[2]: *** [autoloads] Error 255
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs/lisp'
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-prepare] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs/lisp'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
real 0m0.814s
user 0m0.480s
sys 0m0.250s
Compilation exited abnormally with code 2 at Thu Mar 18 12:12:20
In case there was some problem with byte compiling (not that I
expected any), I byte compiled vc-arch.el manually, with no trouble.
A second `make bootstrap' failed again.
It looks to me that the bug is not in vc-arch.el directly.
As a third experiment, I removed vc-arch.el and vc-arch.elc and ran
another config && make bootstrap command (as shown in the Lisp
expression above). That build failed, with the same error messages as
above.
As a fourth experiment, I also removed vc-cvs.el and vc-cvs.elc and
suffered the same problem.
In my fifth try, I updated loaddefs.el but that failed, too, with the
same error report.
For your info, I updated loaddefs.el with this defun and the following
expression:
(defun bobs-update-autoloads ()
"Update autoloads in loaddefs.el; a hack."
(interactive)
(let ((directories '( "."
"calc"
"calendar"
"emacs-lisp"
"emulation"
"eshell"
"gnus"
;; "international"
;; "language"
"mail"
"mh-e"
"net"
"obsolete"
"play"
"progmodes"
"term"
"textmodes"
"toolbar")))
(while directories
(update-directory-autoloads
(concat "/usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/" (car directories)))
(setq directories (cdr directories)))))
(bobs-update-autoloads)
[Because of problems with several files in the `lisp/international/'
and `lisp/language/' directories, I commented them out. The reported
bug was
(scan-error "Unbalanced parentheses" 8384 14043)
scan-sexps(8384 1)]
and referenced
code-pages.el
china-util.el
and at least one other.]
As I said, when I tried the config && make bootstrap expression again,
it stopped with the same error report as before.
