emacs 22.1 fails to build on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

[queshaw@…]

During the build I get:

Assertion failed: (filesize <= ranges->size), function unexec_regions_recorder, file /Users/kshaw/Desktop/Source/emacs-22.1/ src/unexmacosx.c, line 454. make[1]: *** [emacs] Abort trap make[1]: *** Deleting file `emacs' make: *** [src] Error 2

Preceded by a dump of registers and storage.

This path fixes it if I build from source outside of ports:

Patch pasted into a file from  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bugs/16867

I added the previously mentioned patch to the patchfiles line in the emacs Portfile and it appears to build and run under Leopard (Intel Mac).

Attached the contents of the patch to the bug in case it is easier for the maintainer to use that instead of cut/paste from the original gmane link.

For anyone wanting to duplicate this download and copy the file to "$(dirname $(port file emacs))/files/" then edit the Portfile "$(port file emacs)" and change the line that reads

patchfiles patch-src-s-darwin.h

to

patchfiles patch-src-s-darwin.h leopard-patch

Then build as per usual.

Walt Scrivens reported that the attached patch also resolved the issue for him. It should probably be committed. Darren, do you have any objection or comment?

[darren.bane@…]

Sorry for the delay, I was confusing this bug with my #13026, which I had previously rejected as not fixing the problem.

I can confirm that the attached patch fixes Emacs for Leopard, at least on PPC. Thanks for helping out guys, I'm more of a UNIX guy, and it looks like maintaining Emacs is a job for a Lisp wizard ;-)

[darren.bane@…]

Patch against editors/emacs/Portfile (note that leopard.patch should be renamed to patch-src-unexmacosx.c.diff)

[simon@…]

I can confirm the patch fixes Emacs for Leopard on Intel.

[jmr@…]

So this is OK to be committed?

[jmr@…]

Has duplicates #13026, #13942.

[jmr@…]

I committed the fix in r34744. I put the extra patchfile inside a 'platform darwin 9' block, since nobody has mentioned testing it on earlier OS versions.
