make bootstrap on CVS head fails

[Frank Schmitt]

Hello

I just said "make distclean && cvs -z3 update -Pd && make
bootstrap". Make bootstrap run into the following error:

gnus/gnus-cite.el:32:1:Error: Symbol's function definition is void:
gnus-image-type-available-p

Before this error, I got dozens of warnings like this one: "Source file
`/home/fschmitt/cvs/emacs/lisp/gnus/mm-util.el' newer than byte-compiled
file"

I said "find . -name '*.elc' -exec rm {} \; && make bootstrap" and this
time it worked. Is there an error somewhere in the Makefiles or did I
something wrong?

Hi,

I have also a problem with make bootstrap today : it stops with the 
following (last command):

I try to build on OSX with make-package, but i've also get same error 
«no rule to build... rcs2log» with Linux IA32.

CVS checkout today around 1:00 am GMT+2

You mean GNU/Linux IS32, right?

lib-src/rcs2log is a source file.  Does it exist in your checkout?

Err, *GNU*/Linux of course. Debian GNU/Linux to be precise.
But what about S in IS32 ?

Well, i made this morning another checkout and it seems that rcs2log 
was flagged "updated" (??).
Now it compiles nice as it used to.

Weird indeed. I made no changes on it.
Don't know at all from where the problem came from, but it is ok now.

Thanks for attention.

If this is necessary before a bootstrap, why doesn't bootstrap depend on
maintainer-clean? And IMO, a distclean should get rid of all compiled
files including elc-Files.

It used to, but that was changed to make bootstrapping run faster at
the expense of an occasional failure.  (Personally, I believe that
change was a mistake.)

   And IMO, a distclean should get rid of all compiled files including
   elc-Files.

I believe that here the argument is that .elc files are included with
distributions of released versions (although not with CVS).

Luc.

I agree that bootstrap should do maintainer-clean.

For experts, there could be a bootstrap-no-clean target (with alias bootnc if
too long).

I wasn't aware of the change so I was a bit confused by the original 
report. If you want to compile faster, use "make recompile" to recompile 
the .elc files followed by a normal "make".

The cases where recompile is not enough and bootstrap is really 
necessary are probably the same cases of "occasional failure" above.

Re: make bootstrap on CVS head fails

On MacOS X with the current CVS the following sequence fails:

make maintainer-clean
./configure  --enable-carbon-app --without-x 
make bootstrap

The error is:

Loading loaddefs.el (source)...
Symbol's function definition is void: define-compilation-mode

loaddefs requires define-compilation-mode, which is defined in compile.el,
but compile hasn't been loaded yet.
