A while back (March 2003) I reportd a problem with building XEmacs
21.5 on Windows XP. The details are in a thread entitled "Error if
locale is omitted in set-progress-feedback-instantiator" which is
available in the list archives.
I have no further idea where the bug may lie, but I have now upgraded
my main machine to Windows XP, and so my access to Windows 2000 is
fairly limited. I do not have MSVC 7, and have no prospect of getting
it (it costs too much for me to get it for personal use, and my
employer isn't getting it). I am therefore wondering if there is any
alternative way of getting Windows binaries for XEmacs betas.
Possibilities include:
1. Does anybody distribute prebuilt beta binaries?
2. Can a native XEmacs be built with Mingw (gcc)?
I don't do much XEmacs development, but I have run with the beta
versions for a while now. If there's no chance of getting binaries,
I'll stick with 21.5.14 until the next stable release (22.0?)
Obviously, this isn't going to be a high priority for anyone, but I
didn't want to give up before I at least asked...
Paul.
