emacs @28.2 configuration error: libgccjit failed to compile and run a test program

[amannucci (Anthony Mannucci)]

I tried two x11 versions of emacs, and both fail at the configuration stage. This occurred due to an OS upgrade and complete upgrading of Macports. However, after the upgrade I noticed that emacs was missing. It does install as a terminal app, but not as an x11 app. See attached files for log information.

Here is the error message:

Error: Failed to configure emacs: consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_editors_emacs/emacs/work/emacs-28.2/config.log

I might add the following bit of information. I successfully built the non-X11 version of emacs from source (not something I typically do, but it worked). The MacOS version was created, not the X version. When I tried to build the X version using --with-x- etc. as an option for the configure script, I saw this error in the config.log file:

PATH: /opt/X11/bin
conftest.c:72:10: fatal error: 'X11/Xlib.h' file not found
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
| #include <X11/Xlib.h>
configure:10862: /usr/bin/gcc -o conftest -g3 -O2     conftest.c -lX11  >&5 
conftest.c:72:10: fatal error: 'X11/Xlib.h' file not found

Xlib.h is here: /opt/X11/include/X11/Xlib.h

but configure cannot seem to find it. This might be related to not being able to build the X11 version.

There have been a number of fixes to emacs nativecomp which should fix this; please reopen if it's still an issue
