[SOLVED] Emacs installer missing build utilities

catnap · 2018-06-17 15:23:49

I'm trying to make a small hack into the appointment notifier function of Emacs.
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/appt.el
The idea is to make the appointment notifier send notifications at user defined
intervals rather than making all the notification intervals automatically equal.
A succesfull hack would enable the user to specify that he want the
notifications 2 h, 1 h, 15 min, and 5 min before the appointment rather than
getting them at even intervals within two hours from the time. I tend
to turn to appt-delete when I start receiving the notifications
because they turn up all too frequently.

I have the code for this, but to push it upstream, I would have to compile
Emacs from the source to contribute to the latest version in the Git
repository. Unfortunately, I found that I was not able to compile the
Emacs source, apparently because some important libraries were missing.
When I run ./configure in the directory where I cloned the
Emacs repository, I get the following error message

checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
./configure: line 4475: gl_PROG_CC_C99: command not found
checking whether gcc and cc understand -c and -o together... yes
checking for putenv... yes
checking for sbrk... yes
./configure: line 4630: gl_EARLY: command not found
checking whether gcc accepts -g3 -O2... yes

I worry that I'm missing some important build libraries that would
include the neede programs. Could you please help me to find
the right libraries? I already checked the enclosed file INSTALL
which was helpful but did not seem to shed any light on this
particular issue.

The PKGBUILD for emacs is pretty simple.

# $Id$
# Maintainer: Juergen Hoetzel <juergen@archlinux.org>
# Contributor: Renchi Raju <renchi@green.tam.uiuc.edu>

pkgname=emacs
pkgver=26.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor"
arch=('x86_64')

sha1sums=('53c01d987b2613701f42d9f941c2d5225a5874c4'
         'SKIP')

build() {
  cd "$srcdir"/$pkgname-$pkgver
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/imagemagick6/pkgconfig" \
  ac_cv_lib_gif_EGifPutExtensionLast=yes ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
                                    --localstatedir=/var --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-xft \
                                    --with-modules
  make
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir"/$pkgname-$pkgver
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

  # remove conflict with ctags package
  mv "$pkgdir"/usr/bin/{ctags,ctags.emacs}
  mv "$pkgdir"/usr/share/man/man1/{ctags.1.gz,ctags.emacs.1}

  # fix user/root permissions on usr/share files
  find "$pkgdir"/usr/share/emacs/$pkgver -exec chown root:root {} \;
}

It has no makedepends declarations, so everything you need should be installed. It could be that the default configure command needs something we don't install. Take a look at the configure line in the PKGBUILD and use it, see if that configures.

ac_cv_lib_gif_EGifPutExtensionLast=yes ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
                                    --localstatedir=/var --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-xft \
                                    --with-modules

Unfortunately, this did not work. It gave the same error messages. I'm attempting an install from
AUR packages. Perhaps that would help.

I just built the one from extra. No issues -- the package built.
For fun, changed to the src directory and just ran ./configure

you can continue to support by using './configure --with-pop'.
