Subject: 26.1; Emacs 26 opens under X with blank window
Date: Mon, 02 Jul 2018 11:52:34 +1000
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I just built Emacs 26.1 on Centos 6 (RHEL 6.9). When I fire up the


executable with `src/emacs -Q` over X11 it shows an empty window with nominibuffer. See the following screenshot:

I built Emacs without `gnutls`, but that should be possible. Do I missany essential libraries?





According to a stack exchange question


(https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/41021/emacs-26-1-rc1-display-issues-over-ssh-x11-with-xming-vcxsrv)the issue might be related to the X-toolkit I'm using (GTK2). Does Emacs26 not support GTK2? The X server I use is MobaXterm 3.0 on Windows 7Enterprise. I cannot test with another X server.





The output of my `./configure --without-gnutls` is stored in a GitHubgist:


https://gist.github.com/halloleo/46808e9574f375f1e320f5e13c068296. Theoutput of the `make all` is in this gist:


https://gist.github.com/halloleo/c4a4ac53c047d972b6f7b91a0240167f





## Notes:





1. The build runs fine in a terminal via `src/emacs -Q -nw` (**That’s
   how I generated the bug report output below!**)


2. I have built Emacs 25 on the same machine and it runs successfullyover X11.
