Re: Cygwin Subprocesses on XEmacs

I downloaded the latest version 21.4.23 and tried to build it, but I consistently get: gcc -c -ggdb -O2 -pipe -Wimplicit-function-declaration -fdebug-prefix-map=/cygdrive/d/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.4.22-2.i686/build=/usr/src/debug/xemacs-21.4.22-2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/cygdrive/d/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.4.22-2.i686/src/xemacs-21.4.22=/usr/src/debug/xemacs-21.4.22-2 -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wno-sign-compare -fno-caller-saves dump-id.c gcc -ggdb -O2 -pipe -Wimplicit-function-declaration -fdebug-prefix-map=/cygdrive/d/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.4.22-2.i686/build=/usr/src/debug/xemacs-21.4.22-2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/cygdrive/d/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.4.22-2.i686/src/xemacs-21.4.22=/usr/src/debug/xemacs-21.4.22-2 -o xemacs abbrev.o alloc.o blocktype.o buffer.o bytecode.o callint.o callproc.o casefiddle.o casetab.o chartab.o cmdloop.o cmds.o console.o console-stream.o data.o device.o dired.o doc.o doprnt.o dynarr.o editfns.o elhash.o emacs.o eval.o events.o filelock.o ntplay.o dumper.o scrollbar-msw.o menubar-msw.o toolbar-msw.o dialog-msw.o console-msw.o device-msw.o event-msw.o frame-msw.o objects-msw.o select-msw.o redisplay-msw.o glyphs-msw.o gui-msw.o balloon_help.o balloon-x.o dragdrop.o eldap.o postgresql.o dgif_lib.o gif_io.o menubar.o scrollbar.o dialog.o toolbar.o menubar-x.o scrollbar-x.o dialog-x.o toolbar-x.o gui-x.o mule.o mule-ccl.o mule-charset.o file-coding.o input-method-xlib.o realpath! .o getloadavg.o inline.o nas.o console-tty.o device-tty.o event-tty.o frame-tty.o objects-tty.o redisplay-tty.o cm.o terminfo.o event-unixoid.o database.o process-unix.o event-stream.o extents.o faces.o fileio.o filemode.o floatfns.o fns.o font-lock.o frame.o general.o glyphs.o glyphs-eimage.o glyphs-widget.o gui.o gutter.o hash.o imgproc.o indent.o insdel.o intl.o keymap.o line-number.o lread.o lstream.o macros.o marker.o md5.o minibuf.o objects.o opaque.o print.o process.o profile.o rangetab.o redisplay.o redisplay-output.o regex.o search.o select.o signal.o sound.o specifier.o strftime.o symbols.o syntax.o sysdep.o undo.o console-x.o device-x.o event-Xt.o frame-x.o glyphs-x.o objects-x.o redisplay-x.o select-x.o xgccache.o widget.o window.o win32.o xemacs_res.o lastfile.o gmalloc.o vm-limit.o EmacsFrame.o EmacsShell.o TopLevelEmacsShell.o TransientEmacsShell.o EmacsManager.o offix.o dump-id.o ../lwlib/liblw.a -laudio -lXaw3d -lXaw3d -ltiff -lpng -ljpeg -lz -lcompf! ace -lXpm -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -ldb -lncurses -l! intl -lp q -lldap -llber -lwinmm -lshell32 -lgdi32 -luser32 -lcomdlg32 -lcomctl32 -lkernel32 -lwinspool collect2: error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped GNUmakefile:159: recipe for target 'xemacs' failed make[1]: *** [xemacs] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/d/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.4.22-2.i686/build/src' GNUmakefile:123: recipe for target 'src' failed make: *** [src] Error 2 *** ERROR: make failed After the ld core dump, when I delete the corrupted xemacs.exe from /cygdrive/d/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.4.22-2.i686/build/src manually and restart the build with make from the /cygdrive/d/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.4.22-2.i686/build directory again, the build actually succeeds and ld doesn't core dump anymore. Additionally I had to use an older version of texinfo (namely version 4.13) otherwise the build breaks when generating the .info files (I got the information to use an older version from Vin Shelton). I then installed everything and with my current setup xemacs crashed as soon as font-locking is involved. The current 32 bit xemacs-21.4.22 version works fine with this setup. After googling around I found a workaround by setting (setq progress-feedback-use-echo-area t) in my .emacs. So, the good news finally after 6 years !!! it seems I have a working xemacs on 32 bit which runs on cygwin 1.7.x. Of course I will need to do more testing. The bad news, an automatic build via cygport is currently not possible because: 1. cygport's compile stage bails out after the ld core dump 2. the current xemacs version needs an older version of texinfo (4.13) than we have currently in the distribution (5.2-3) Question: How shall I proceed ? By the way, I'm off for a week. Ciao Volker _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
