Re: Emacs Anyone?

[Steven Nunez]

Just thought I'd let you guys know about the latest attempt:

Building without --with-ns work fine, so the problem appears to be related to either how configure sets things up, or the interpreter for elisp. Interestingly, after building the 'normal' emacs, then trying --with-ns again, the compile succeeds, but the executable core dumps.

Anyone here have any ideas, time to look at it, or can point me to someone or someplace to track this down?

Regards,

Hi David,

Thanks. That seems to do the trick, at least for configure. For posterity, the full configure line should be:

env CFLAGS="-DGNUSTEP -I/usr/local/include" ./configure --with-ns --with-gnustep=/usr/local/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf

Any idea how to report this to the upstream maintainer for GNUstep/emacs (or is that you)?

However, there is still a problem with the compiling the lisp code:

   GEN    ../lisp/leim/leim-list.el

gmake[2]: *** [Makefile:134: ../lisp/leim/leim-list.el] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any thoughts there? More to the point, why would non-GNUstep emacs compile this elisp file (I assume), but the GNUstep one fail?

Regards,

Add CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include to the configure command line.
