Re: emacs debugging conundrum (success ?)

Eric,

I do not know if this can help but I have experimented the following.


I tried to build emacs from CVS in this way (I downloaded from CVS at Apr 
23, about 02 am ):


 cd /tmp
 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs
 tar -cjvf emacs-22.0.50-cvs-src.tar.bz2 emacs

 cd emacs
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/emacs-22.0.50
 make bootstrap

 FAILED... 

...as you describe in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-04/msg00631.html

Then I tried in this way (building in a separate directory, in about 4
hours):

 cd /tmp
 rm -rf emacs/
 tar -xjvf emacs-22.0.50-cvs-src.tar.bz2

 mkdir emacs-build
 cd emacs-build/
 ../emacs/configure --prefix=/usr/local/emacs-22.0.50


(The configure uses i686-pc-cygwin+all image libraries+X+LUCIDA...)



 make bootstrap   
 mkdir -p /tmp/emacs-inst

 make install prefix=/tmp/emacs-inst/usr/local/emacs-22.0.50

 cd /tmp/emacs-inst/

 find usr/local/emacs-22.0.50 \! -type d | tar cjfT \
 /tmp/emacs-22.0.50-cvs.tar.bz2 -

 cd /
 tar -xjvf /tmp/emacs-22.0.50-cvs.tar.bz2

 cd usr/local/bin

 ln -s /usr/local/emacs-22.0.50/bin/emacs.exe emacs-cvs

 cd /tmp/
 emacs-cvs & 


... and it seems to work! 

(ALL things are done from xterm)


The system is W2K SP4 with all Cygwin pkgs installed of which the test
pkgs are:

snapshot 20060421 14:53:51 (uname)

Test packages:
coreutils-5.94-5
emacs-21.3.50-2
findutils-4.3.0-1
lesstif-0.94.4-1
tar-1.15.90-1
xorg*-6.8.99.901-1 (19 pkgs)

NO services running.



Cheers,

    Angelo.
