I'm building CiaoDE for Ubuntu 12.04 amd64. But it fails on building the emacs plugin and the chr library. It seems that the emacs plugin is too old.
...
Thanks for the report. There compilation warnings are due to elisp changes which we have not had time to clean up but we use the emacs mode regularly with emacs 24.3, so this is probably not the problem. But it does seem to fail to generate word-help.elcs, CHR, and lpdoc, so something is wrong (it did work in our nightly builds for Ubuntu, though...). Can you check if Ciao compiles in your system all the way through using all default options, i.e., with:
./ciaosetup user-install
(since you are doing a user install)? If it does we can then try to see what non-default option may be causing the problem. Thanks! --Manuel H
