Today, I removed *all* my Emacs' CVS sources using `rm -rf emacs' and
checked out fresh sources. The `59 Temple Place' zipcode is now
correct. My earlier report was based on a damaged set of sources.
Please ignore it.
Since I had new sources, I could configure and bootstrap build with a
completely fresh CVS Emacs.
The good news is that the bootstrap mostly worked.
The bad news is that the bootstrap failed once.
One bug appeared when I used this command:
(progn
(cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/")
(compile
"./configure --with-type1 \
--with-x-toolkit=gtk \
--prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes \
&& time make bootstrap"))
During the build, compilation halted and I was asked to
"Enter longitude (decimal fraction; + east, - west): "
which is a prompt from emacs/lisp/calendar/solar.el
However, I could not enter that information into the *compilation*
buffer, since it is read-only.
So I prepended my location to `emacs/lisp/calendar/solar.el' using
`setq calendar-latitude' and `setq calendar-longitude' expression.
The next bootstrap build, which took two hours, then reported no
errors.
Perhaps `calendar-latitude' and `calendar-longitude' should be set to
0.0 rather than nil by defcustom. (I have done that, but tested it
only with a `make recompile', since I do not want to do a bootstrap
again.)
