emacs-unicode-xft-arch: make bootstrap fail in makepkg

Hi all!

Here is a PKGBUILD I use for emacs with unicode and xft support from GNU arch repository. It is mainly based on the emacs-cvs package.
The problem is that the make bootstrap step fails during makepkg. I have to do it manually, as a user.
A part from that, emacs seems to run correctly.
Any suggestions?

PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: Sebastien Piccand <sebcactus>

pkgver=20060821

Re: emacs-unicode-xft-arch: make bootstrap fail in makepkg

You didn't post the error message.  How are we supposed to know how it failed?  Compile error?  cd into wrong directory?  Bad md5sum?

Don't waste our time guessing...

Re: emacs-unicode-xft-arch: make bootstrap fail in makepkg

I tried your PKGBUILD a few days ago. It also failed at make bootstrap.  I didn't had time to check what was wrong. As soloport said, posting the error message might help (I didn't note it down).

Sorry I thought it was a known issue with fakeroot, since I had the same pb with previous emacs-cvs and nobody answered me when I asked about it.

Sorry.  Can't help until this evening (am behind proxy / firewall and tla doesn't work, here). *sigh*

That's funny, I am behind a proxy/firewall too, and CVS/SVN don't work but GNUarch does

Re: emacs-unicode-xft-arch: make bootstrap fail in makepkg

Nobody has any clue?

I tried to do make bootstrap under fakeroot and it failed the same way.
If I do it as a normal user it finishes succesfully.
I think that fakeroot is the problem. Are you aware of such a problem with fakeroot (e.g. other packages pb)?
