FWIW, I compile CVS Emacs on a bog-standard MingW distribution, with no other packages from GnuWin32 or anywhere else, and using mingw32-make.exe (renamed to make.exe). However, I have to make two small changes by hand to lisp/makefile to get it to bootstrap properly. On line 500 (in autoloads): ! $(DQUOTE)$(lisp)/loaddefs.el$(DQUOTE))$(ARGQUOTE) \ ! -f batch-update-autoloads $(lisp) $(WINS) --> ! $(DQUOTE)loaddefs.el$(DQUOTE))$(ARGQUOTE) \ ! -f batch-update-autoloads . $(WINS) I mentioned this on the list before, but Eli said that the problem was with MingW make. Ah well. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
