Sorry, I don't know what is wrong. It works for me. There is a suffix
rule that tells make how to build .elc files from .el files. I don't
know why it works for some files for you and not others. It fails for
you on the first one in a subdirectory of $lisp, but I don't know what
that tells us.

I was in no doubt of that. :)
What I don't see is how/where.

make uses SHELL = /bin/sh.

The problem seems to be in the suffix rule. I don't get it.

The simple test below works for me. Does it work for you? Save to
lisp/XXX directory, and do `make -f XXX compile-main'. If it fails,
the make -d output for calc-aent.elc ought to be informative. If it
works, then I don't see what is wrong with the normal lisp/Makefile...


PS your mail went to the wrong addresses. Rather than:
327 <at> debbugs.gnu.org, emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org

it went to emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org and emacs-devel <at> gnu.org

with a Followup-To: gmane.emacs.devel.

Or at least, the copy I actually ended up reading did (there are often
multiple copies of things flying around these days).



SHELL = /bin/sh   # works for me with /bin/zsh too

EMACS = ../src/emacs
EMACSOPT = -batch --no-site-file --multibyte

lisp = $(PWD)

emacs = EMACSLOADPATH=$(lisp) LC_ALL=C $(EMACS) $(EMACSOPT)

ELCFILES = \
         $(lisp)/abbrev.elc \
         $(lisp)/calc/calc-aent.elc

compile-main: $(ELCFILES)

.SUFFIXES: .elc .el

.el.elc:
    @echo Compiling $<
    @$(emacs) -f batch-byte-compile $<

The report was fine, it was the followups (it happened again with your
previous message). Can you edit the addresses manually if you reply
again? I think there was some temporary glitch with the initial
routing of this report that has probably caused these issues:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-05/msg01605.html

(probably this should not explicitly be going to
emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org, but we've started now)

Yes, except I don't know if "/bin/echo" is always "/bin/echo" on all
the wacky systems Emacs supports. "printf" would be better still. But
since no-one can define exactly what "portable" means for the Emacs
build process, I try to only add constructs already used.

Huh? You're saying that your problem, which happened in bootstrapping
a fresh checkout, has been fixed by a change to the update-elclist
rule that only runs _after_ bootstrapping? AFAICS, that's impossible,
but never mind...
