23.0.90; incorrect configuration |
|

Hello!
When I try to configure GNU Emacs to use the X11R7.4 installation
from MacPorts, installed under /opt, the configure script commands:
checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes
checking whether gcc understands -Wno-pointer-sign... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... cc -E -no-cpp-precomp -I/
sw/include -L/sw/lib
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for ranlib... ranlib
i.e., it uses a completely not competent installation (that of Fink).
The product that gets built with this settings is unusable:
Connection lost to X server `:0.0'
To become able to compile an usable GNU Emacs I have rename /sw to
something different, which brings some other problems, because a few
of the GNU utilities (ls, du) are used by GNU Emacs – and also pkg-
config (OK, I found that this Perl script works incorrectly, so I
need to use the MacPorts substitute).
This /sw preferential treatment also happens when I invoke as compile
command:
./configure --without-sound --without-pop --with-dbus --with-libotf
--enable-locallisppath=/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/
calendar23:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/
local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
CFLAGS="-Wno-pointer-sign -H -pipe -fPIC -mcpu=7450 -mtune=7450 -fast
-mpim-altivec -ftree-vectorize -foptimize-register-move -freorder-
blocks -freorder-blocks-and-partition -fthread-jumps -fpeephole -fno-
crossjumping" CXXFLAGS="-no-cpp-precomp -I/opt/local/include"
CPPFLAGS="-no-cpp-precomp -I/opt/local/include -idirafter -I/usr/
X11R6/include" LDFLAGS="-dead_strip -multiply_defined suppress -L/opt/
local/lib" PKG_CONFIG=/opt/local/bin/pkg-config
(exec-path and shell's PATH both start with /opt/local/bin) or a
variation like this:
env CXXFLAGS="-no-cpp-precomp -I/opt/local/include" CPPFLAGS="-no-
cpp-precomp -I/opt/local/include -idirafter -I/usr/X11R6/include"
LDFLAGS="-dead_strip -multiply_defined suppress -L/opt/local/lib"
PKG_CONFIG=/opt/local/bin/pkg-config ./configure --without-sound --
without-pop --with-dbus --with-libotf --enable-locallisppath=/Library/
Application\ Support/Emacs/calendar23:/Library/Application\ Support/
Emacs PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/
pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig CFLAGS="-Wno-pointer-sign -H -pipe -fPIC
-mcpu=7450 -mtune=7450 -fast -mpim-altivec -ftree-vectorize -
foptimize-register-move -freorder-blocks -freorder-blocks-and-
partition -fthread-jumps -fpeephole -fno-crossjumping"
In this successful configuration the configure script simply reports:
checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes
checking whether gcc understands -Wno-pointer-sign... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... cc -E -no-cpp-precomp
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for ranlib... ranlib

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.

I have commented out this code, opened a new bug about finding a
way to bring in back in some improved form, and am closing this report.
