I compiled Emacs to run on Redhat Linux. Since I wanted to compile it with --with-native-compilation flag, I had to install Redhat's developer tools to get libgccjit. These tools are installed in /opt/rh/devtoolset-10/root. An enable script is provided which modifies the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
I ran configure like:
./configure --with-x --with-native-compilation --with-json --with-imagemagick
After compilation running make and install, I noticed two things:
- I was able to launch Emacs from my bash terminal, but only after running the
enablescript (i.e. sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the correct directory). In a fresh terminal or after logging out and logging back in, launching Emacs gives the error:
emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libgccjit.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- Launching Emacs from the Applications menu fails.
Are there configure script arguments that will make emacs point to the right shared object directory without it being dependent on an environment variable? I guess that would be the rpath. Would tis be the --libexecdir or --includeddir or --libdir flags to configure?
