[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

hi, I have this "bug". I compiled gccemacs using this PKGBUILD:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=emacs-pgtk-native-comp-git

with the following settings in the PKGBUILD set as follows:

LTO="YES"
FAST_BOOT="YES"

and this is my Emacs configuration:

https://gitlab.com/shackra/emacs

I've noticed that on the terminal something is print when gccemacs starts:

--------------------------
➜ emacs --debug-init
Eager macro-expansion failure: (invalid-function ((bytecomp "Symbol’s
function definition is void: gv-setter" :error "*Compile-Log*")))
--------------------------

Sadly that one buffer is blank upon inspection.

is this a bug on gccemacs or on straight.el?

Well I'm not an archlinux user and I've no idea how the aur mechanism
works exactly.  I fear the best place to ask for that is not here but
where bug for arch packages are collected.

Have you tried compiling from git?  Perhaps you can give it a try so we
can see if the error persist there.

You can just use something like to compile and start it:

=====
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git -b feature/native-comp emacs
cd emacs
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-nativecomp
make
./src/emacs -Q
=====

The PKGBUILD is just a glorified bash script, this one just activates or
deactivates compiling options shipped by the Emacs source code, reading it
should give you an idea of how Emacs is compiled

And, well, it is already compiled from Git.

The native-comp branch of Emacs is under heavy development, so I'm not
sure why Arch has packaged it up, but it certainly wouldn't be
reasonable to ask Andrea to chase down bugs in that package.

Did you try the simple recipe Andrea gave for building Emacs?

Hi Jorge,

I'm sorry but it will be not possible for us to help you if you don't
share the input to the compilation steps.

What your script does may depend on your environment and obviously on how
this is invoked.

If this is a bash script you could run it with like '-x' and paste the
output so we can see the compilation is performed.

Thanks

  Andrea

Okay, let me clarify: Arch haven't packaged anything, this is a PKGBUILD
from the Arch User Repository (AUR) and things are compiled locally and the
PKGBUILD simplifies the process, on line 195 some options are set and on
line 269 the actual configure takes place, then after that the compilation
starts with `make NATIVE_FAST_BOOT=1` because, as I stated before,
`FAST_BOOT` option in the script was set to "YES" (non-nil if you wish)

for making things easier to everybody I will put all the options that are
use in the configure phase:

./configure \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
    --localstatedir=/var \
    --mandir=/usr/share/man \
    --with-gameuser=:games \
    --with-sound=alsa \
    --with-modules \
    --without-gconf \
    --without-gsettings \
    --with-nativecomp \
    --with-pgtk \
    --enable-link-time-optimization \
    --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 \
    --without-xaw3d \
    --without-m17n-flt \
    --with-cairo \
    --with-xwidgets \
    --without-compress-install

and:

make NATIVE_FAST_BOOT=1

Hi Jorge,

again this is not sufficient.  For instance was the git repo cleaned
before compiling? was some sort of make clean invoked?  I suggested in
my last mail to invoke the script with '-x' so we should see all it's
appending.

Thanks

  Andrea
