Version 1.4.6 doesn't support Emacs 24, and there's no visible upstream activity. So not much that we can do here.
did you look to debian patches? http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/elscreen/1.4.6-5 Last of them could help
(In reply to comment #2) > did you look to debian patches? > http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/elscreen/1.4.6-5 > > Last of them could help Nope, none of them fixes our compile failure.
Created attachment 348984 [details, diff] elscreen-1.4.6-void-variable-argi.patch elscreen-1.4.6-void-variable-argi.patch from here: http://www.heimat.gr.jp/pipermail/elips/2011/001998.html
Created attachment 348986 [details, diff] elscreen-1.4.6-emacs-24.patch elscreen-1.4.6-emacs-24.patch is my hack, which fixes compilation with emacs 24, but unfortunately breaks it with xemacs. As the only way I could convince it to compile with emacs 24 was to remove the (static-when elscreen-on-emacs and closing ). I applied the patches by adding this line to the ebuild: ELISP_PATCHES="${PN}-1.4.6-void-variable-argi.patch ${PN}-1.4.6-emacs-24.patch"
These issues really need to be fixed upstream, and the package was last touched 6 years ago. Can you try if the fork at https://github.com/shosti/elscreen works for you?

I tried sending an email to the author's email address with the patches. > Can you try if the fork at https://github.com/shosti/elscreen works for you? The compile fails: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/app-emacs/elscreen-9999/work/elscreen-9999 ... * Compiling GNU Emacs Elisp files ... In elscreen-get-screen-to-name-alist: elscreen.el:671:21:Warning: `mapcar' called for effect; use `mapc' or `dolist' instead elscreen.el:672:22:Warning: `mapcar' called for effect; use `mapc' or `dolist' instead In elscreen-find-screens: elscreen.el:770:9:Warning: `mapcar' called for effect; use `mapc' or `dolist' instead elscreen.el:1463:30:Error: Symbol's function definition is void: elscreen--set-alist * elisp-compile: batch-byte-compile failed I am unsure if it was a good idea that this fork removed the dependency on apel, as apel compiles and seems to work with emacs 24. I wonder if removing the apel dependency may make the fork less portable to different emacs versions. elscreen-1.4.6 with the proposed patches also appears to work with emacs 23. I don't know if the fork would work with emacs 23 or not since the compile fails.
Created attachment 360044 [details, diff] elscreen-1.4.6-emacs-24.patch Add eval-when-compile around (defsubst elscreen-e21-tab-create-keymap ...) to fix the compiler error with emacs 24, and this will hopefully also allow it to build with xemacs (not tested).
I applied patched to apel and elscreen to fix the build with emacs 24. I wrote the patch to put eval-when-compile around (defsubst elscreen-e21-tab-create-keymap ... toe fix the elscreen build with emacs 24 (which should also allow it to build with xemacs - not tested). +*apel-10.8-r1 (03 Oct 2013) + + 03 Oct 2013; Mark Wright <gienah@gentoo.org> +apel-10.8-r1.ebuild, + +files/apel-10.8-010_ikazuhiro.patch, + +files/apel-10.8-020_Prevent-fontset-error.patch, + +files/apel-10.8-040_make-temp-file-for-Emacs-24.3.50.patch: + Add patches, the changes are noted in the ChangeLog diffs included in the + patches.

I fixed bug 495042 which I think was the only reason for this latest reported elscreen build failure. I tested elscreen-1.4.6-r1 builds.
