[bug report] xemacs-21.1.4
Hi.
While installing xemacs-21.1.4 (with troubles :-<),
I got a message to "report this bug" from ${srcdir}/src/temacs.
------ start ------
Fatal error (11).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included
with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu.
As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'.
*MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command
M-x describe-installation.
If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace;
it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong.
To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result
of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the
directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home
directory), and type
gdb `which xemacs` core
then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up.
(If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX,
or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of
these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)
Lisp backtrace follows:
# (catch #<INTERNAL EMACS BUG (opaque, size=4) 0x3caaa0> ...)
------ end ------
I will try to explain what I did chronologically.
0. My system is like:
% uname -a
SunOS satatsn01 5.6 Generic_105181-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
% swap -s
total: 111256k bytes allocated + 10824k reserved = 122080k used, 2587232k available
% df
enough :-)
tcsh 6.11.00( $LANG is C ).
X11R6.3.
Japanized here and there. ( canna, kterm etc. )
1. Downloaded following archives from
ftp://ftp.jp.xemacs.org/pub/GNU/xemacs (and subdirs).
* xemacs-21.1.4.tar.gz
* cc-mode-1.25-pkg.tar.gz
* locale-1.18-pkg.tar.gz
* mule-base-1.39-pkg.tar.gz
2. Couldn't figure out how to "install" the packages so, simply expanded the
3 packages to
${prefix}/lib/xemacs-21.1.4/xemacs-packages
3. Ran
./configure --with-gnu-make --prefix=PREFIX --site-prefixes=SP_1:SP_2 --with-mule
--with-canna
and completed with no trouble. (Hurrah!)
4. Created ${srcdir}/lisp/site-init.el only including two "setq"s.
(setq mh-progs "foo")
(setq mh-lib "bar")
5. Ran gmake and failed compiling ${srcdir}/src/doprnt.c.
gcc ... doprnt.c
doprnt.c: In function `get_doprnt_args':
doprnt.c:389: `short int' is promoted to `int' when passed through `...'
doprnt.c:389: (so you should pass `int' not `short int' to `va_arg')
doprnt.c:398: `short unsigned int' is promoted to `int' when passed through
`...'
gmake: *** [doprnt.o] Error 1
6. Edited doprnt.c.
＠＠ -389 +389 ＠＠
- arg.i = va_arg (vargs, short);
+ arg.i = va_arg (vargs, int);
＠＠ -398 +398 ＠＠
- arg.ui = va_arg (vargs, unsigned short);
+ arg.ui = va_arg (vargs, int);
7. Continued gmake and encountered another failure.
(should be while making dump_elcs in src/Makefile)
EMACSBOOTSTRAPLOADPATH="SRCDIR/src/../lisp/:SRCDIR" ./temacs -batch -l
SRCDIR/src/../lisp/update-elc.el
Segmentation Fault - core dumped
gmake[1]: *** [update-elc.stamp] Error 139
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `SRCDIR/src'
gmake: *** [src] Error 2
8. Became stuck here and tried
% cd ${srcdir}/src
% ./temacs
9. temacs printed the message above to STDERR.
The results of "gdb temacs core" are
------ start ------
% gdb ./temacs core
Core was generated by `./temacs'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

I will be happy if this helps and want to know how to proceed the
building anyway.
