I'm trying to build emacs on my Centos 6.5 PC
(Linux destgd0h411156 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 16
18:37:12 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

I simply ran "configure --prefix=..." and then "make", but make fails
with linker errors for temacs:

Please see my explanation here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2014-03/msg00503.html

Red Hat has taken the unusual step of ripping out the gsettings related
parts of their glib library. So they have something that advertises
itself as gio 2.26.1, but does not include gsettings.

I think this is an odd thing to do. I encourage anyone with a RH
subscription to report it as a bug against glib2-devel.

In Emacs, you can work around it by using configure --without-gsettings.

But Emacs should add a configure test to check that gsettings is really
present. I tried to do this by simply testing for gio/gsettings.h, but
sadly you can't include that header directly, it throws an error if not
included via gio/gio.h.

Hello.

I have added a configure check for this in the trunk.

Thank you. I think it should be in the emacs-24 branch. What do you think?

There is a workaround (--without-gsettings) so it is not critical. It only affects RHEL/CentOS. It is not a regression either.  So no.

Well, emacs-24 is not in the "regression only" stage yet.
It hasn't even started pretesting.
By the time 24.5 is out, RHEL7 probably will be, and this won't even be
relevant any more.

Ok, I backported it to emacs-24.

Thanks. Potentially dumb question:
Do you not have to temporarily add GSETTINGS_CFLAGS etc to CFLAGS while
you test for gsettings?

Also, isn't this double "$$" wrong:

   if test "$$GSETTINGS_COMPILES" = "yes"; then

My mistake.  I have fixed these.  But when I fixed it, I did it in the 
trunk first.  Maybe I should take a vacation...
