Building Emacs with Native Compilation Support

[timoofone]

Hi everyone,

I hope this question was not asked before, but I have not found anything about it with the search.

I'm trying to build Emacs 31 from source and everything works perfectly with the exception of Native Compilation because libgccjit is not available for Mageia. And to be honest, I can't find a way to build it from source aswell without starting a deep dive into building everything in Mageia from source. Does someone know how to get the latest version of Emacs with Native Compilation enabled on Mageia? That would be wonderful!

Thanks for the great work and thanks in advance!

Hi there, you could try if it's included in the emacs flatpak, even though that's only 30.1
edit: seems to not be included: https://github.com/flathub/org.gnu.emacs/issues/49

You could either compile it yourself or try with something like https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Distrobox

Thanks for the pointer to Distrobox, I'll probably spin up something with it. If I'm very bored I'll try to compile gcc with libgccjit from scratch.
