Package building problems (xslide & vm)

I'm doing a small sync with Emacs 21.3 to pick up some new features of define-minor-mode that they have. I think that part is done. I am now trying to build the packages to I can check whether my sync messed anything up. I am compiling with a MULE-enabled XEmacs. I am encountering two problems. (1) When compiling the packages with XEmacs 21.4.14 on a Linux box with 1GB RAM and after doing "unlimit stacksize", the make is bombing out like this: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xemacs/packages/xemacs-packages/xslide' xemacs -no-autoloads -vanilla -batch -eval '(setq stack-trace-on-error t load-ignore-out-of-date-elc-files t load-show-full-path-in-messages t)' -l /usr/src/xemacs/packages/package-compile.el -- ispell mail-lib xemacs-base -- -l cus-face -l regexp-opt -l font-lock -l sendmail -l xslide-data -l xslide-abbrev -l xslide-font -l xslide-process -l xslide -f batch-byte-compile auto-autoloads.el Loading /usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.14/lisp/auto-autoloads...

Stack overflow in regexp matcher xemacs exiting . make[2]: *** [auto-autoloads.elc] Error 255 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xemacs/packages/xemacs-packages/xslide' make[1]: *** [xslide/bytecompile.target] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xemacs/packages/xemacs-packages' make: *** [xemacs-packages/bytecompile.target] Error 2 Trying that part of the compile by hand, I found that the overflow is occurring while loading xslide-font, on line 191, while doing this: (regexp-opt-depth xsl-fo-attribute-symbol-alist-regexp) where xsl-fo-attribute-symbol-alist-regexp was just produced by regexp-opt. This does not happen when building with XEmacs 21.5.16. (2) The build crashes in hyperbole, because hvm.el calls vm-set-modflag-of, which vm/vm-autoload.el claims is defined in vm-message.el. It isn't. From: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-patches/200309/msg00011.html I gather that the call in the hyperbole code should be changed to vm-set-stuff-flag-of, and that vm-autoload.el should be fixed. -- Jerry James http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~james/
