I used to have a source tree from the CVS archive and one every couple of months I updated my copy to the latest version and recompiled. I do this in the mac directory with make-package, so that I get an installer. Now this week it failed because the resulting emacs gives the warning: arch-dependent data dir /Volumes/Work/Users/piet/Projects/cvs/emacs/mac/make-package.tmp.2875//Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/libexec/emacs/21.3.50/powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0 does not exist. Which is no surprise, because it should be /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/libexec/emacs/21.3.50/powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0 and it used to be that. It looks like something has changed so that it breaks now.
I have tried all kinds of combinations of configures and make-packaqge options, but I either get the above, or it looks in /usr/local/libexec/emacs/22.0.50/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0/ which also doesn't exist. Finally I decided to start from scratch. I deleted all my files, and did a fres checkout yesterday. Then ./make-package --self-contained --build-in-place failed with: Compiling /Volumes/Work/Users/piet/Projects/cvs/emacs/mac/../lisp/./emacs-lisp/checkdoc.el In toplevel form: emacs-lisp/checkdoc.el:2076:30:Error: Invalid read syntax: ")" I looked in checkdoc.el, line 2076 and it looks fine. So then I tried in the main directory: ./configure --enable-carbon-app --without-x make bootstrap and it fails with the same error. So I'm stuck. Does anybody succeed in compiling the Carbon Emacs installer? -- Piet van Oostrum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
