... So I again attempted to compile the emacs-24.2 SRPM, but apparently the version of autoconf (2.63) in CentOS was too low (the emacs SRPM expected 2.69), which caused the build to fail.
If anyone's curious, I have placed a log of the build at http://www.wistly.net/emacs-build.log
Hi,
1) for a quick and dirty solution, I would manually build/install autoconf
=2.68 on the side (./configure --prefix=/opt/autoconf/2.68) , modify the
builder default PATH to have the new autoconf first, and rebuid your emacs version.
or 2) also rebuild autoconf from fc19, replace the CentOS version during the rebuild stage, revert to the stock autoconf.
either way, you will end up maintaining emacs24 for the next years :)
Cheers,
Tru
