org master: make fails

org master: make fails

[Julius Dittmar]

Hi,

on two of my computers, both openSUSE-based with org-mode current master
and current texlive installed, make fails.

The last messages are:

make -C doc info
make[1]: Entering directory `/XXX/git/org-mode-CURRENT/doc'
emacs  -Q -batch --eval '(setq vc-handled-backends nil
org-startup-folded nil)' \
  --eval '(add-to-list '"'"'load-path "../lisp")' \
  --eval '(load "../mk/org-fixup.el")' \
  --eval '(org-make-manuals)'
Loading /XXX/git/org-mode-CURRENT/mk/org-fixup.el (source)...
Wrong number of arguments: #[(string &optional separators omit-nulls)

... followed by a long mainly empty and unreadable quoted string,
followed by ...

" [separators omit-nulls split-string-default-separators list notfirst
start t 0 nil string-match ...] 5 1648329], 4
make[1]: *** [org.texi] Fehler 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/XXX/git/org-mode-CURRENT/doc'
make: *** [info] Fehler 2

As on the third of my computers (with an old debian and texlive 2017)
make works, I guess that's a local problem, not one of org-mode.
Nonetheless: Do you have any hints on what might be missing there, or
how I could proceed tracking down the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Julius

Is your Emacs old (e.g., Emacs 23)? Did you try with emacs -Q, just
loading Emacs?

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 in one instance, the other not older than that (can't
check the details right now).

As far as I can tell, the make fails somewhere in the 'make doc' part.
According to the quote above emacs is called with -Q.

'make autoloads' does not throw errors, and what I use of org-mode works
except for a minor and probably unrelated glitch I did not yet find time
to track down.

Thanks for looking into it and for a terrific tool,

Julius

I think upgrading Emacs to at least 24.4 should solve the issue.
