emacs debugging conundrum (success ?)

Sun Apr 23 14:26:00 GMT 2006

Eric,
I do not know if this can help but I have experimented the following.
I tried to build emacs from CVS in this way (I downloaded from CVS at Apr 
23, about 02 am ):
 cd /tmp
 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs
 tar -cjvf emacs-22.0.50-cvs-src.tar.bz2 emacs
 cd emacs
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/emacs-22.0.50
 make bootstrap
 FAILED... 
...as you describe in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-04/msg00631.html
Then I tried in this way (building in a separate directory, in about 4
hours):
 cd /tmp
 rm -rf emacs/
 tar -xjvf emacs-22.0.50-cvs-src.tar.bz2
 mkdir emacs-build
 cd emacs-build/
 ../emacs/configure --prefix=/usr/local/emacs-22.0.50
(The configure uses i686-pc-cygwin+all image libraries+X+LUCIDA...)
 make bootstrap 
 mkdir -p /tmp/emacs-inst
 make install prefix=/tmp/emacs-inst/usr/local/emacs-22.0.50
 cd /tmp/emacs-inst/
 find usr/local/emacs-22.0.50 \! -type d | tar cjfT \
 /tmp/emacs-22.0.50-cvs.tar.bz2 -
 cd /
 tar -xjvf /tmp/emacs-22.0.50-cvs.tar.bz2
 cd usr/local/bin
 ln -s /usr/local/emacs-22.0.50/bin/emacs.exe emacs-cvs
 cd /tmp/
 emacs-cvs & 
... and it seems to work! 
(ALL things are done from xterm)
The system is W2K SP4 with all Cygwin pkgs installed of which the test
pkgs are:
snapshot 20060421 14:53:51 (uname)
Test packages:
coreutils-5.94-5
emacs-21.3.50-2
findutils-4.3.0-1
lesstif-0.94.4-1
tar-1.15.90-1
xorg*-6.8.99.901-1 (19 pkgs)
NO services running.
Cheers,
 Angelo.
