Re: [COMMIT] Apply Stephen's bugfix to my advice.el changes

Mats Lidell writes: No. "eval-when-compile" means that code can be run at compile time. In particular, x-symbol is trying to make X bitmap glyphs on a no-X build, inside an eval-when-compile (see x-symbol-vars.el). Try evaluating (canonicalize-spec-list `(((x) . [xbm :data (6 20 ,(make-string 20 0))]) ((mswindows) . [xbm :data (6 20 ,(make-string 20 0))]) ((tty) . [string :data " "])) 'image) in your 21.5 build. This (make-glyph `(((mswindows) . [bmp :data (6 20 ,(make-string 20 0))]) ((tty) . [string :data " "]))) gives me "Invalid specifier locale (mswindows)" in my Linux build. So it seems that glyph is actually tried to be instantiated, but why this doesn't work I'm not sure. My guess is that the thing to do for now is to remove the eval-when-compile from the make-glyph call in x-symbol-vars.el, although that code probably should work. The 21.4 build isn't failing in the byte compiler. The event loop is somehow broken. It's trying to get events from a file descriptor that claims to be a console (ie, a tty) but it somehow isn't. See l. 147 of src/event-tty.c. I'm not sure why this would happen. You could try putting if (!c) fprintf (stderr, "failing on FD #%d", i); before the assert on l. 147 and see which FD is causing problems. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
