Subject: error in build cvs version on Mac OS X
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 07:06:07 -0700

Hi all,

It's now actually been a couple of *years* that I've been unsuccessful  
in building Emacs from cvs source on Mac OS X: first on my Powerpc  
Powerbook G4, and now on my Intel Mac. The build process always balks  
at the bootstrap stage with the following message:
----------------
Loading loadup.el (source)...
Using load-path (/home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/lisp /home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/ 
lisp/emacs-lisp \
	/home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/lisp/language /home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/lisp/ 
international \
	/home/ritesh/pkg/emacs/lisp/textmodes)
Loading emacs-lisp/byte-run (compiled; note, source file is newer)...
Invalid coding system: emacs-mule
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 255
make: *** [src] Error 2
---------------------
My build environment is quite pristine, no libraries from fink, etc.,  
interfering with those installed by Xcode.
Here's how I run configure
---------------------
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-pointer-sign"
./configure 				\
--enable-locallisppath=$HOME/elisp	\
--without-pop 				\
--without-kerberos 			\
--without-kerberos5 			\
--without-sound				\
--without-x				\
-without-toolkit-scroll-bars		\
--without-dbus				\
--without-gpm				\
--with-ns				\
--enable-cocoa-experimental-ctrl-g 	
--------------------------
Although I don't understand the last option, the build fails with or  
without it.
It might not be a bug after all, but I have seen update after update  
to the cvs repository but the build failure refuses to go away. It's  
in sheer frustration that I'm resorting to sending a mail to the bugs  
list. Hopefully someone can figure out the problem, or has seen this  
issue elsewhere.
Help much appreciated,
Ritesh.
