You can build Emacs cleanly with Visual Studio 6.0 as well. There is one issue with the CVS GNUEmacs -- configure.bat seems to generate extra ^Ms at the end of makefiles generated. Use an editor to rip out those ^Ms before attempting building the sources. The makefiles you need to change are here: * emacs\src * emacs\nt * emacs\lib-src * emacs\lisp * emacs\leim With Emacs as editor, you can just do M-% C-q C-m RET RET ! to get rid of all ^ Ms. == Problems == I can't seem to get the cvs source finish - it fails with a return code of 0xffffffff when temacs.exe is attempting to dump. I wondered about the path to temacs.exe - which contained both \'s and /'s, but fiddling with that didn't seem to matter. I removed the extraneous ^M's, but that didn't help. environment: : hardware: P4, 128 megs ram : OS: XP : devl: DevStudio+sp5, CygWin, WinDbg any suggestions? ---- CategoryBuilding
