emacs copying ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET} - wtf?

emacs copying ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET} - wtf?

[Graham Gower]

emacs.inc has this nugget in do_compile_prepend():
cp -pPR ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}/* $treedir

During a world build, both emacs and emacs-x11 copy some 5GB into
their work dirs. This really seems like overkill.

Could someone familiar with building emacs take a look to see if
there is a reasonable alternative?

thanks,
-Graham

PS: emacs and emacs-x11 fail for me in do_compile.

Do you have make-3.82 on your host? emacs-x11_23.1.bb compiles fine with
SHR.

Nope. make --version says 3.81.

I'd had problems with emacs before and the error you got was the same as mine. 
I got the x11 verson to build as Martin Jansa advised. My version of Make is 
the same as yours (3.81) so maybe I'll try to do an updgade and see if that 
solves the issue.

Just installed make-3.82 and got a different error message but on the same line 
in the makefile:

| Makefile:149: *** recipe commences before first target.  Stop.

Looking at the Makefile's being generated newlines are getting inserted 
somewhere and messing up the makefile. If you manually remove these newlines 
from the makefile you can walk the error down the makefile but there are a lot 
of them.

I don't understand where they're coming from but that's what I see the problem 
as being.
