This situation worries me less: if configure.bat fails to run, the user will know something is wrong with the batch file. It's the mysterious error message produced by Make that prompted my suggestion. I've seen 2 Emacs maintainers trip on this just this last month. But if you have a better idea, I'm open to suggestions. (Btw, my testing indicates that cmd.exe from Windows 2K and XP succeeds running a batch file even if its lines end in the Unix-style single LF, and also if there's more than one CR character before the newline.) _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
