Building from CVS

I had much difficulty in getting cvs update to work on the packages a few days ago, probably due to server congestion. When I finally got the update working, I ran into compile problems. My last compile of the betas was probably in about September, and I made the mistake of making clean too early in the cycle, so I do not have a beta to work with. I have the rpm of 20.4 on CD, so I installed that, hoping to bootstrap from it. Unfortunately, this one seems to have no mule support in it. I downloaded the mule-base package, and untarred it first into /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages, then into /usr/lib/xemacs-20.4, where the rpm installs. An attempt to `make bindist' in the packages, gives me: xemacs -no-autoloads -batch -l ../../package-compile.el -- -- add-log.el Symbol's function definition is void: paths-find-emacs-roots An attempt to `make all' of emacs proper gives me: Dumping under the name xemacs Purespace usage: 894384 of 894384 (100%). Testing for Lisp shadows ... Symbol's function definition is void: list-load-path-shadows xemacs exiting. Followed a little later by: Compiling files without .elc... /opt2/src/xemacs/xemacs-20/src/xemacs -batch -vanilla -f batch-byte-compile lisp/./finder-inf.el At this point, make falls into deep meditation on its own navel, never to return. Top shows the make sleeping. I have reconfigured to specify package-path for the newly-installed mule-base package, to no avail. My CVS updates have, I assumed, left me with 21.0.something, rather than the 21.2's. I seem to remember from sometime ago that these would bootstrap from 20.4. Is the problem that I have a no-mule rpm? How can I build from the CVS sources? -- __ /__ Peter B. West p.west(a)uq.net.au / http://www.uq.net.au/~zzpwest / "Lord, to whom shall we go?"
