You are just being unlucky. I updated CVS at 11:44 UTC this morning, 2006 Feb 19, and built it with (progn (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/") (compile "time make bootfast")) It built fine. I did use gcc 4.0.3 but not long ago, I used gcc 2.95. I am also using GNU Make 3.81beta4, but I expect that make 3.79.1 would work. (I presume that the slower (progn (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/") (compile "./configure --with-type1 --with-x-toolkit=gtk \ --prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes && \ time make bootstrap && date")) would also work, but I try to avoid `make bootstrap' whenever I can because it is slow. Every so often, I have to (progn (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/") (compile "make maintainer-clean")) before running `make bootstrap'.) Occasionally, I cannot built successfully, but truthfully, that is fairly rare. Generally, I build once a day, start an instance of it with `emacs/src/emacs -Q -D', and run a brief test. Once in a while, I remember to launch a new instance that I use regularly (loading my .emacs file). That gives that day's CVS a good work out over the next several weeks. I complain once in a while, but in fact, people are pretty good about checking that a change they commit works (or else they are good programmers :-) -- Robert J.
