This PKGBUILD is a work in progress. If you find PACKAGING bugs, please let me know ASAP.

Upstream bugs are to be reported upstream. Check out the emacs-devel archives to confirm if this is an already known bug. In fact... Why are you not subscribed to emacs-devel?. Also check the emacs-bug-tracker archives.

Reporting bugs: Write to the Emacs Bug Tracker and report it there. Or, better yet, use the debbugs client included with the text editor. You will find instructions at https://debbugs.gnu.org/. Good luck!

If you confirm it is a packaging bug, you are welcome to report it here.

Yaourt and other automated tools users BEWARE! This PKGBUILD is written with hand updating in mind and I won't fix bugs arising from such use. Besides, cloning the same repository time and time again from a non-profit such as the GNU Project/FSF gives out a very low image of you.

Sorry, but why was libxpm removed from dependency at the latest change[1]? build() fails again in configure process. Am I missing something?

Hey, in the latest version i think $SOUND should be $ALSA in line 263. Cheers!

In chroot environment, build() fails due to missing libxpm[1]. This is caused by removing m17n-lib[2] which depends on libxpm via gd[3]. So, I guess libxpm should be added to depends.

configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
    libXpm
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
To build anyway, give:
    --with-xpm=ifavailable
as options to configure.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

Well, I'll just say that the emacs package on extra dropped libmagick6 on Aug 2020, as can be seen on the git history¹. No mention of imagemagick or libmagick in the current PKGBUILD ². ;-)

@zhenya1007 Don't tempt me! I've waited long enough to drop ImageMagick. I'll look at your patches this weekend. Cheers.

In a (perhaps misguided) effort to reduce the number of libraries needed to compile/install Emacs, I have added two knobs: one for GPM and another one for sound/ALSA. Here is the change for the GPM knob:

FWIW, I couldn't agree more with the decision to drop GTK+2, libotf and m17n-flt. Now, if we could only get rid of Imagemagick for good... ;-)

If set CLI="YES" (am I the only user of that option?! :P), it sets $pkgname to emacs-git-nox, derives emacs-git-nox.install as the name of the $install file, and fails when it discovers that said $install file doesn't exist.

My suggestion is to hard-code emacs-git.install as the name of the $install file, to wit:

Hi, folks.

I've forked¹ this repo to track the just-created emacs-28² release branch.

Also, I've enabled JIT and AOT, as well as parallel compilation.

Thanks, and happy hacking!
