As I replied to the previous thread, I can compile and run
non-X-windows (i.e. native) XEmacs from source (21.5 (beta31)
\"ginger\" c5fde3f37fef_ just fine under 1.7.9, and although that
build does have the M-x shell problem, running it under the 2011-08-03
Cygwin snapshot [1] cures that problem.
So, more information please -- X-windows or native? Where exactly are
you getting the XEmacs sources? What are your args to configure?
How exactly does the build fail? What is the exact error message
_you_ are seeing from M-x shell?
