Hello!

When I configure the X11 client under Mac OS X 10.4.11 as:

	./configure --without-sound --without-pop --with-dbus --with-libotf  
--with-x-toolkit=athena --enable-locallisppath=/Library/Application\  
Support/Emacs/calendar23:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/caml:/ 
Library/Application\ Support/Emacs:/sw/share/emacs21/site-lisp/elib  
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/freetype219/lib/pkgconfig:/sw/lib/fontconfig2/ 
lib/pkgconfig:/sw/lib/qt4-x11/lib/pkgconfig:/sw/lib/pkgconfig:/sw/ 
share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/ 
X11R6/lib/pkgconfig CFLAGS="-ggdb -gfull -H -Wno-pointer-sign - 
bind_at_load -pipe -fPIC -mcpu=7450 -mtune=7450 -mno-powerpc64 -fast -

in the end this command is executed to build temacs:

	gcc -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib  -prebind -Xlinker -headerpad -Xlinker

The part "-Wl,-framework,CoreServices -Wl,- 
framework,ApplicationServices" looks suspicious to me. It can be the  
cause for the following in the *compilation* buffer:

	cd ../lisp; make -k update-subdirs
	wd=.../emacs/lisp; subdirs=`(cd $wd; find . -type d -print)`; for  
file in $subdirs; do case $file in */Old | */RCS | */CVS | */CVS/* |

Hello!

I tried to find out how it comes that Mac OS X framworks are getting  
used. They are introduced from Fink's libotf.pc and freetype2.pc.  
Resetting PKG_CONFIG_PATH I could avoid using the two PC files.  
Temacs was built:

	gcc -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib -prebind -Xlinker -headerpad -Xlinker  
690 -multiply_defined suppress -L/sw/lib/ncurses -L/sw/lib -L/usr/

lintl -liconv -L/sw/lib -ldbus-1 -lresolv -lncurses

(and also in another try without -L/sw/lib/fontconfig2/lib).

Temacs died both times with:

	cd ../lisp; make -k update-subdirs
	wd=.../emacs/lisp; subdirs=`(cd $wd; find . -type d -print)`; for  
file in $subdirs; do case $file in */Old | */RCS | */CVS | */CVS/* |

	for file in $wins; do \
	   .../emacs/lisp/../update-subdirs $file; \
	done;
	`/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap

	make[1]: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
	make: *** [src] Error 2

I loaded temacs into gdb, set its arguments to '-batch --load loadup  
bootstrap' and let it run:

Without optimisation 'bt full' gives:

}

	junk = 0x0

and xbacktrace returns the GDB prompt. Temacs still dies with a bus  
error.


The temacs produced when configuring '--with-ns --disable-ns-self- 
contained' works well.

Do you still see this problem in latest CVS?
