I have used AUCTeX under Windows 98/2000 successfully for several years and it
is a great package. But I am struggling to install AUCTeX 11.55 under Emacs
21.3 on my new Windows XP machine. I think perhaps the installation procedure
has become more complicated?
I have installed Emacs and the MSYS program (successfully, I think). I have
downloaded and unpacked the auctex-11.53 files to the c:/temp directory.
I then typed this in the MSYS shell:
$ ./configure --prefix="c:/Program Files/emacs-21.3" --with-emacs="c:/Program
Files/emacs-21.3/bin/runemacs.exe"
and I get the following message:
--
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking for c:/Program... c:/Program Files/emacs-21.3/bin/runemacs.exe
checking if c:/Program Files/emacs-21.3/bin/runemacs.exe is XEmacs... cat:
./conftest-2440: No such file or directory
configure: error: Unable to run c:/Program Files/emacs-21.3/bin/runemacs.exe!
Aborting!
--
I have tried various different commands, each time altering the value of
"with-emacs" but to no success. I have checked that runemacs.exe is definitely
in c:/Program Files/emacs-21.3/bin/
Can you shed any light on what is going wrong? Sorry to bother you and thanks
for your time.
