The next (and hopefully final) pretest for what will be the 24.4 release
of Emacs (the extensible text editor) is available at
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-24.3.94.tar.xz
Please give it as much testing as you can.
I tested it on few systems, builds OK on all the followings (amd64, with only
curses support, no X):
Debian 7.6
gNewSense 3.1 (based on Debian 6)
Ubuntu 14.04.1
Trisquel 6.0.1 (based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
OpenSUSE 13.1
CentOS 6.5
CentOS 7
FreeBSD 10
FreeBSD 9.3
OpenBSD 5.5
NetBSD 6.1.4
DilOS 1.3.7 (OpenSolaris/Illumos-based)
GNU Hurd/Debian 0.5 (i386)
"./configure" fails on MINIX R3.3.0/i386, but MINIX is not officially supported.
On thing I noticed, is that "configure.ac" (and thus "./configure")
has the following statement (line 38):
srcdir="/${srcdir:0:1}${srcdir:2}"
I believe these are bash-specific variable expansions, not posix-compatible.
This appears in an MINGW-related "if" block, so I guess most of the time it is
not encountered.
But in one instance, I got:
$ ./configure
./configure: 3564: Syntax error: Bad substitution
