See emacs-21.1/nt/INSTALL (or for you wierdos: emacs-21.1\nt\INSTALL) The warning about make-3.79.1 seems to no longer apply with my up-to-date cygwin installation. Dunno if it's make-3.79.1-4 or cygwin-1.3.3 or one of the other tools, but everything worked fine. I don't use leim. There may be a bug here. As for the slash/backslash issue, read emacs-21.1/nt/gmake.defs for a description of some of the issues. Briefly, to build emacs on Windows, you run configure.bat from a command prompt. It will find your compiler for you. If you have VC++ and gcc, you need to type "configure --with-gcc" if you want to compile with gcc. And no, this does not give you a cygwin executable. There is, as far as I know, no functional difference between compiling with VC++ and gcc. It sure is easy, though. (If you already have cygwin.) As to why there's no cygwin version, I don't know. It's on my list of things to look at, but the list is pretty long right now. |
