Re: [Mac-emacs-users] problem with latest CVS version

[Gilbert H. <ha...@Pr...>]

Dear Andrew,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I was able to get it to work on my IBook but
still not on my G4.  (Both are using Mac OS 10.1.5.)

Would it work to copy over the emacs directory created by on the IBook (by
make bootstrap) to my G4?

I haven't been able to figure out what goes wrong on the G4.

The variables you mention do not seem to be defined because I get:
[localhost:~/emacs] gilberth% echo $CFLAGS
CFLAGS: Undefined variable.
[localhost:~/emacs] gilberth% echo $cflags
cflags: Undefined variable.
[localhost:~/emacs] gilberth% echo $CCFLAGS
CCFLAGS: Undefined variable.
[localhost:~/emacs] gilberth% echo $ccflags
ccflags: Undefined variable.
[localhost:~/emacs] gilberth% echo $LDFLAGS
LDFLAGS: Undefined variable.
[localhost:~/emacs] gilberth% echo $ldflags
ldflags: Undefined variable.

In comparing the results of "make install" on the two systems, they are the
same until line 95 at which point the IBook has:

cc -c -fpascal-strings -fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src     -Demacs
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I. -I/Users/gilberth/emacs/src   -fpascal-strings
-fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src          -Dtemacs  -g -O2  termcap.c

whereas the G4 has

cc -c -fpascal-strings -fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src     -Demacs
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I. -I/Users/gilberth/emacs/src   -fpascal-strings
-fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src          -Dtemacs  -g -O2  tparam.c

skipping the termcap.c line

This makes a difference a couple lines later and then in the G4 I get a
series of warnings that begins:

/usr/bin/ld: warning prebinding disabled because dependent library:
/usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib.5 is not prebound

Soon after that is a dump.
