Problem compiling GNU/emacs from cvs

Hi everyone!


I tried to compile Emacs from cvs and failed in the make bootstrap:

give make maintainer-clean && make bootstrap a try

Neither that nor "make maintainer-clean; make bootstrap" can possibly
work, because there is no Makefile after "make maintainer-clean". 8-)
You have to rerun ./configure inbetween.

Hi thanks for your response!

I tried, but the result was -more or less- the same, only the message
error change:


-----------------------------------------------------------------
Loading format (source)...
Loading minibuffer (source)...
Symbol's function definition is void: custom-declare-face
make[2]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 255
make[2]: se sale del directorio `/home/nano/software/emacs/src'
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-build] Error 2
make[1]: se sale del directorio `/home/nano/software/emacs'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------


Any ideas?


Thanks in advance


Adolfo

Try byte-compiling minibuffer.el first.  It's a new file, so a
previous .elc file is not there for it (as the "(source)" part above
shows).

Sorry, I've misread the original message.  Please ignore my line
noise.
