Re: [Fink-devel] [Fink-users] Can't install xemacs

[Scott H. <sha...@us...>]

Yaniv,

Yes, this shows the error.  the "EMACS_GET_PROCESS_GROUP ()” expands to “getpgrp(0)” which is an error since getpgrp expects no arguments.   It seems that the source code needs a patch to run on newer compilers that seem to be more of a stickler for arguments.

Unfortunately there is no maintainer for this package.
maintainer: None <fin...@li...>

For all I know it may be a simple update to the patch file or a bump to the upstream version.  One thing to try is in the build directory edit the line in systty.h from
> #define EMACS_GET_PROCESS_GROUP() EMACS_GETPGRP (0)
to
> #define EMACS_GET_PROCESS_GROUP() EMACS_GETPGRP ()


And then see if it builds.  Just a guess.

That error was above that notice.  Please go back through the log and find the command (complete line) and the error message.  Possibly a gcc call?
