«catastrophe»: cannot compile auctex from main any more: error: Symbol’s value as variable is void: AUCTeX-version

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I am using mercurial and the hg-git plugin and there have been problems
in the past for me compiling, but I just pulled (and upgraded Emacs to
29.4)

While I can compile 
commit c77c97ab6b4096e29a

(22 August)

I cannot compile the latest commit 
14de1605acdfaedda


Running make -j

Gives  me the following error, in basically all el file

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

style/transparent.el:32:2: Error: Symbol’s value as variable is void: 
AUCTeX-version
make: *** [GNUmakefile:95: style/transparent.elc] Error 1

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Since I use auctex for my daily work, I wrote catastrophe!
I could bisect the issue, but I presume somebody more familiar with the
code will spot the problem quickly

Regards

Uwe Brauer
