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

Good day,

While wondering if this is the place to bring my issue, allow me to state it nevertheless.

I was trying to compile emacs-29 from sources. However the build fails, and chokes on byte-compiling lisp/org/ox.el:


...
make[3]: Entering directory '/home/bjd/mint/packages/emacs-mirror/lisp'
'../src/emacs' -batch --no-site-file --no-site-lisp --eval "(setq load-prefer-newer t byte-compile-warnings 'all)"  -f batch-byte-compile org/ox.el


In toplevel form:
org/ox.el:82:2: Error: Eager macro-expansion failure: (error "Eager macro-expansion failure: (error \"Eager macro-expansion failure: (error \\\"Eager macro-expansion skipped due to cycle:
  … => (load \\\\\\\"tramp-archive.el\\\\\\\") => (macroexpand-all …) => (macroexpand (eval-and-compile …)) => (load \\\\\\\"tramp-gvfs.el\\\\\\\") => (load \\\\\\\"tramp.el\\\\\\\") => (load \\\\\\\"tramp-archive.el\\\\\\\")\\\")\")")
Makefile:332: recipe for target 'org/ox.elc' failed

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/bjd/mint/packages/emacs-mirror'
***

...


I think this can be traced back to byte-compiling lisp/org/org-element.el; when I try to byte-compile that manually I do indeed get the error about Eager macro-expansion failure, but I am unsure what actually causes this failure.

Comments?
Thank you.

I cannot reproduce that.  Suggest "make bootstrap".

Ah yes, my bad, thanks for setting me straight. I've been out of this too long.

Did you find out more here?  I'm tagging this as unreproducible for now.
