Funny thing. I've just noticed this in make.bat: rem echo ^L>bbdb-autoloads.el And it really wouldn't surprise me to find out that Windows, or COMMAND.COM, is processing the redirection before it's processing the "rem" statement. Meaning that this line junks your bbdb-autoloads.el. Try unpacking the distro, removing this line from make.bat, and try the build again. If this works, please let me know because this bug has been an irritation and a puzzle for quite a while. Cheers, Waider. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Yes, it /is/ very personal of me.
