Below the whole standard output and error.
You actually cut out the offending errors (that is, your messages show that make failed, but not why). What I do notice in the full output are plenty of errors in *.texi files. (Basically, if you've got "<filename>:<line no>: <message>" and the message doesn't start with "warning:", then that's an error that will break the build.) > org.texi:1731: @itemx must follow @item > org.texi:2486: warning: @item missing argument > org.texi:4687: @itemx must follow @item > org.texi:7172: @itemx must follow @item Take a look at the Debian package for how it builds emacs. There may be patches you need to apply, or parameters you need to supply in order to build with the debian toolchain. Alternatively, there are tutorials on the internet showing how to download the source of a debian package, update the upstream code and re-build it locally. > > Thanks in advance, > > Rodolfo >
