I have never been able to get a working build. Is there a specific recipe that can be used to obtain a working build (with the known limitations, of course)?

@kvaneesh Hello, How did you build neomacs?

I have never been able to get a working build

What's the error log?

[eval-exec]

@yibie Please do git pull, then cargo xtask fresh-build --release, is latest build work on your machine?

[kvaneesh]

cargo xtask fresh-build --release that is the build command i am using. Everytime it is different error. I think it would be good to get a commit id, that works with fresh build without any previous build done in the system?

right now it is stuck during build at
In c-macro-expand: lisp/progmodes/cmacexp.el:164:42: Warning: reference to free variable ‘inhibit-read-only’

There are multiple "ERROR" reported during build this time with lisp backtrace.

[eval-exec]

@kvaneesh Thank you, I reproduced it, fixing...

I think it would be good to get a commit id, that works with fresh build without any previous build done in the system?

Agree, I will make sure the main branch is stable later. And I'll create a Release with pre-compiled neomacs binary later.

@kvaneesh Hi, This commit: a787e013bad57ae669957a4f75336e0ed3a3a5fd can be built, but there are many unit test/integration test failed, I'm still busy on developing on main branch to redesign & fix these.
