Problem Description
===================

I am compiling my Elisp code, controlling it by a GNU make script.
The compilation is done with something like this:

    emacs -Q  --batch -L . -f batch-byte-compile pel-custom.el

For some of these file I get this warning with Emacs 30.1, something I have never
seen with previous versions of Emacs:

    Note, built-in variable ‘image-scaling-factor’ not bound

My code does not refer to ‘image-scaling-factor’.


Discussed in help-gnu-emacs
===========================

See:
- https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2025-03/msg00006.html
- https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2025-03/msg00034.html

More Details
============

This warning shows up when:
- I build, from a shell controlled by GNU Make, my emacs lisp files with:
- GNU Emacs 30.1 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin23.6.0) of 2025-02-23
- (display-graphic-p) returns nil.
- system-configuration-features = GMP GNUTLS LIBXML2 MODULES NOTIFY KQUEUE PDUMPER SQLITE3 THREADS TREE_SITTER ZLIB

With my files:
- pel-setup.el having the (require 'cus-edit) at the top
   of the file (outside any defun)
- pel-benchmark.el which (requires pel-setup.el)
- With the Makefile aware of pel-benchmark.elc depending on
  pel-setup.elc with this dependency line:
    pel-benchmark.elc:      pel--base.elc pel-window.elc pel-setup.elc

If I touch pel-setup.el a make, done on a macOS system which uses that
Emacs 30.1, does this:

>0 <at> 08:49:54 L1 [~/my/dv/elisp/pel]  git:(master)pel
zsh% make
emacs -Q  --batch -L . -f batch-byte-compile pel-setup.el
Note, built-in variable ‘image-scaling-factor’ not bound
emacs -Q  --batch -L . -f batch-byte-compile pel-benchmark.el
Note, built-in variable ‘image-scaling-factor’ not bound
>0 <at> 08:51:18 L1 [~/my/dv/elisp/pel]  git:(master)pel
zsh%    

Also note that when, inside Emacs 30.1 on this system where I get the
warnings when I use (pel-byte-compile-file-and-load) to compile the
setup.el file then I see *no* warning:

Leaving directory ‘~/my/dv/elisp/pel/’
^L
Compiling file /Users/roup/my/dv/elisp/pel/pel-setup.el at Mon Mar  3 08:49:17 2025
Entering directory ‘/Users/roup/my/dv/elisp/pel/’
^L
Compiling internal form(s) at Mon Mar  3 08:49:42 2025

I only see the warning when building from the shell with the
command: emacs -Q  --batch -L . -f batch-byte-compile

On my system I use several scripts to start Emacs.  
One is 'e' which starts the same as emacs above: the terminal mode emacs.  
Another is 'ge' which starts a graphics capable Emacs on that macOS
system.  
The warning shows up only when compiling with the terminal-mode Emacs
but not with the graphics capable Emacs:

>0 <at> 08:51:18 L1 [~/my/dv/elisp/pel]  git:(master)pel
zsh% ge -Q  --batch -L . -f batch-byte-compile pel-setup.el
>0 <at> 09:11:12 L1 [~/my/dv/elisp/pel]  git:(master)pel
zsh% e -Q  --batch -L . -f batch-byte-compile pel-setup.el
Note, built-in variable ‘image-scaling-factor’ not bound
>0 <at> 09:11:25 L1 [~/my/dv/elisp/pel]  git:(master)pel
zsh%    

The graphics capable Emacs on that macOS system is:
- GNU Emacs 30.1 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin21.6.0, NS appkit-2113.65 Version 12.7.6 (Build 21H1320)) of 2025-02-24
- (display-graphic-p) returns t.
- system-configuration-features = ACL GLIB GMP GNUTLS JPEG LIBXML2 MODULES NOTIFY KQUEUE NS PDUMPER PNG RSVG SQLITE3 THREADS TIFF TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS TREE_SITTER WEBP XIM ZLIB

On Emacs 29.4 running on a Linux hosts I use.
I still have Emacs 29.4:

- GNU Emacs 29.4.50 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) of 2024-08-15
- (display-graphic-p) returns nil.
- system-configuration-features = GMP GNUTLS LIBSELINUX LIBXML2 MODULES NOTIFY INOTIFY PDUMPER SECCOMP SOUND THREADS TREE_SITTER ZLIB

When I build with the same file content and touch setup.el I get no warnings:

> 0,et:0.005s,L2,0j 09:02:13[~/my/dv/elisp/pel]
bash$ make
emacs -Q  --batch -L . -f batch-byte-compile pel-setup.el
emacs -Q  --batch -L . -f batch-byte-compile pel-benchmark.el
> 0,et:0.273s,L2,0j r09:02:16[~/my/dv/elisp/pel]
bash$

The reason I mentioned make and the dependency is that
pel-benchmark.el does *not* have any line that requires 'cus-edit.
It only has a line that require pel-setup.
And yet I get a warning compiling pel-benchmark.el as well.
I get this warning compiling any file that directly or indirectly require 'cus-edit
with the method I described above.

Thanks, now fixed on the emacs-30 branch, and closing the bug.
