Could not install emacs-plus@29 https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/issues/544

Jan 27 '23 11:01 Cliffzz

@Cliffzz I understand it's not helpful, but I can't reproduce in nor locally, nor on CI. As a wild guess, try cleaning /Users/cliffz/Library/Caches/Homebrew/emacs-plus@29--git. I know that sometimes it helps people.

Jan 28 '23 09:01 d12frosted

I just had the same issue, deleting the directory helped. Thank you!

Jan 28 '23 22:01 jvtrigueros

I experienced this issue and deleting the cache repository did not help. The error I saw was: In toplevel form: cedet/semantic/wisent/python.el:30:2: Error: Symbol's function definition is void: treesit-parser-list gmake[3]: *** [Makefile:332: cedet/semantic/wisent/python.elc] Error 1

After installing brew install tree-sitter and rebuilding it was successful 👍🏻

Jan 29 '23 04:01 aport

@d12frosted No worries, I understand the inability to really do something witout a reproduction of the issue.

I tried deleting directory you mention but unfortunately that didn't rearlly do anything. After checking the gmake logs I had the same error as @aport. After installing tree-sitter manually it works.

Jan 29 '23 13:01 Cliffzz

@Cliffzz could you take look at the file /Users/cliffz/Library/Logs/Homebrew/emacs-plus@29/03.gmake?

I have the same issues, and it's linking errors to ctags. Should this provide ctags by itself? or should i have to install it seperately? I had emacs installed, removed it along with all references to tags,ctags,etags. still having the same issue. Also tried to remove the cache.

Here is the relevant output from gmake:

not able to install @29

I had the same error. I was able to install by removing first the directory ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew

Mar 23 '23 05:03 dmgerman

As far as I can tell, this is an issue with something in the PATH, somehow.

I ran PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/bin:/bin brew install emacs-plus@29 --with-native-comp and it worked fine, though because this formula injects the PATH variable, the final injected path isn't going to have everything I need so I plan to investigate a bit more.

Aug 08 '23 16:08 belak

I have it narrowed down to my nix path which had binutils installed. Removing the package fixed the issue for me, though I'm not sure why. I've also tried injecting /usr/bin before the nix path which didn't work.

Aug 08 '23 16:08 belak

Uninstalling binutils indeed solves the problem, thanks @belak!

I'm also getting the "cp: invalid option -- 'c'" error. I hacked around the issue by temporarily replacing /opt/homebrew/Cellar/coreutils/9.5/libexec/gnubin/cp with a symlink to /bin/cp, and then restoring the original after brew install emacs-plus finished.

The issue with cp should be fixed in the latest release of homebrew. Update it and try again.

https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/issues/688#issuecomment-2186413911

Closing the issue as original is unrelated to currently discussed issues; the original one doesn't seem to manifest anymore; and the new one is already fixed.
