Hi. After the work made by Manuel Giraud (thanks!) on a port for Emacs 24.1, here's an update for the 24.2 version (bugfix release).
Here are the modifications I have made so far:
- remove "CONFIGURE_ARGS = ${GCCARCH} --localstatedir=/var"
Using raw "${GCCARCH}" instead of, for example, "--build=${GCCARCH}"
is deprecated and spits out a warning. But the configure script can
already find the appropriate value; yet I keep GCCARCH in SUBST_VARS
since it is used to build the plist. "--localstatedir=/var" is
already passed by gnu.port.mk
- remove "AUTOCONF_VERSION = 2.68"
since we don't have to re-run autoconf.
- use "MODGNU_CONFIG_GUESS_DIRS = ${WRKSRC}/build-aux" since the
upstream uses AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(build-aux).
I have a couple of questions, though:
- why remove the dependency on ossaudio using --without-sound? I can't
see how it is used by Emacs right now, but it doesn't seem harmful /
expensive since libossaudio is in base.
- I see that the emacs23 port has been patched to
use --with-system-malloc and -fnopie. The Emacs 24 configure script
doesn't have --with-system-malloc anymore. What should we do? I was
thinking about asking upstream to make this available again, but
forcing the use of the system malloc resulted in a build failure, in
my previous tests...
- make update-plist spits those warnings:
make-plist: Bogus element outside of every prefix: /var/games/emacs
make-plist: Bogus element outside of every prefix: /var/games/emacs/snake-scores
make-plist: Bogus element outside of every prefix:
/var/games/emacs/tetris-scores
I wonder what to do about those files... touch them in post-install?
I'm running the no_x11 flavor on i386 since a few hours, without
a problem. The gtk3 and (default) gtk2 flavors are building fine,
athena is on the way, but please do test them, as I don't use those
flavors.
Regards,
