Build problem with temacs
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: My first attempt to build Emacs on this computer failed when the build process tried to execute temacs. This computer uses NTFS and it turned out that temacs.exe was not executable. (It was readable and writable, but not executable.) I gave temacs.exe execute permission by hand, reran make and the build then completed correctly (as far as I can tell so far). All the other executable files appear to have been given execute permission automatically. My only other experience of building Emacs using a very similar build environment was on a computer using a FAT file system, so this problem could not arise. In GNU Emacs 22.0.91.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2006-12-14 on CENTAUR X server distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600 configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4)' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: ENG locale-coding-system: cp1252 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Lisp Interaction Minor modes in effect: eldoc-mode: t show-paren-mode: t recentf-mode: t delete-selection-mode: t encoded-kbd-mode: t tooltip-mode: t tool-bar-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t unify-8859-on-encoding-mode: t utf-translate-cjk-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t column-number-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: help-echo help-echo help-echo help-echo help-echo menu-bar help-menu report-emacs-bug Recent messages: File c:/Documents and Settings/fjw/My Documents/UG/CalcToSID.awk removed from the recentf list File c:/Documents and Settings/fjw/My Documents/UG/cwk12.csv removed from the recentf list File c:/Documents and Settings/fjw/My Documents/UG/CalcToSID1.awk removed from the recentf list File c:/Documents and Settings/fjw/My Documents/modules.txt removed from the recentf list Cleaning up the recentf list...done (12 removed) Loading eldoc...done For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.

Re: Build problem with temacs
From: Francis Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2006 17:18:10 - I gave temacs.exe execute permission by hand, reran make and the build then completed correctly What did you do to give it execute permission? If it's a stock Windows command, perhaps we should consider running it by default, just in case. My only other experience of building Emacs using a very similar build environment was on a computer using a FAT file system, so this problem could not arise. I doubt if this has to do anything with NTFS directly, because I routinely build Emacs on 2 different NTFS-based machines, and never saw such a problem. I suspect that this has something to do with security permissions on that system. What version of Windows is that, and what privileges you have, as a user, on it? ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
