[alexmurray]

Thanks for reporting this issue - this is fixed via the above commit and new builds have been released to the edge channel so a simple snap refresh emacs should fix this for you.

[lrstott]

Thank you! All is good now.

[swarnendubiswas]

I installed the Sep 27 edge build, and I am again getting this issue on an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system. Is there a way to resolve it?

[alexmurray]

@swarnendubiswas I can't reproduce any failures - I installed the edge channel emacs snap on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM and then installed say ace-window from ELPA and there were no issues with native compilation. Can you please provide more details?

[swarnendubiswas]

I installed successfully on Ubuntu 20.04. I get the following error when I start Emacs.

I have a standard install, so I am unsure why I get the error.

I started getting this today, too. Native-compile

I started getting this today, too. Native-compile

@benjamin-rood the same happens to me!

[benjamin-rood]

I've had to downgrade to the default emacs from apt which is 27.1

@benjamin-rood You could have just used latest stable from snap with

sudo snap install emacs --classic

[alexmurray]

Can anyone who is facing this error please post the output of:

M-x describe-variable native-comp-driver-options

Thanks.

[alexmurray]

Ok I think that hopefully https://github.com/alexmurray/emacs-snap/commit/58411aad868b697fecb850355518773c5037fb5b and https://github.com/alexmurray/emacs-snap/commit/978719677dcc0dcc73b2fd382657ad9c5330a000 should fix the native compilation errors - apologies for inadvertently reintroducing those.

I have triggered a rebuild of the snap and it should be available in the beta channel in the next couple hours. Can you please test this and let me know if it resolves the issue for you? Thanks.

[benjamin-rood]

@benjamin-rood You could have just used latest stable from snap with

sudo snap install emacs --classic

@kirill-gerasimenko-da The compilation errors are occurring on the stable build, too. That's why I downgraded to 27

[kirill-gerasimenko-da]

oh, said to hear. it helped me though.

[idanov]

These warnings are now showing up on emacs 29, my value for the variable mentioned by @alexmurray is:

("--sysroot=/snap/emacs/1729/" "-B/snap/emacs/1729/usr/lib/gcc/")

Is there something I can do for a workaround?

[alexmurray]

Thanks for letting me know, I'll try take a look on Monday.

[idanov]

Update on the issue, ensuring the Emacs environment has:

export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

This is on Ubuntu 22.04 with installed libgccjit-11-dev.

I stumbled on my solution here, although unsure how relevant that is for this particular snap, but sharing it here in case it helps with resolving the issue.

[alexmurray]

@idanov It shouldn't be needed to set LIBRARY_PATH like this for native-comp (especially to include something from outside the snap) - I am attempting to reproduce the issue now and if I can reproduce it then will work on a fix.

(FWIW setting LIBRARY_PATH like that means that anything emacs invokes will also inherit this - so if you compile a C application from emacs then it will also use this LIBRARY_PATH setting which is perhaps not what you want - also the snap should ship all it's own dependencies and shouldn't require anything to be manually installed on the host system).

[alexmurray]

I am unable to reproduce this error - on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VM I ran the following:

sudo apt install libgccjit-11-dev
sudo snap install --beta --classic emacs
emacs

Then within emacs:

M-x package-install
ace-window
C-x b *Async-native-compile-log*
# observe no errors printed

Can you provide any more information?

[idanov]

My Ubuntu was upgraded from 18.04 to 22.04 over the years, so it could be something to do with my own personal version. If you couldn't reproduce it with a fresh Ubuntu VM, then I would assume it's only happening on my own setup. Thanks a lot for following up though @alexmurray 🙏

[alexmurray]

Ok thanks for letting me know - let's leave this closed for now but if it still is an issue for you I can try and help you debug what is going on - please open a separate issue though.
