I hope you didn't have to struggle too much.
Mostly it involved cleaning out some cobwebs from my mind, but I did
run into one actual issue: the new Cygwin texinfo, 5.x, doesn't
include a makeinfo.exe, so I couldn't generate the .info files from
DOS. Also, the .texi files were not compatible with texinfo 5.x, so I
had to build texinfo 4.13a and use that for generating the .info
files.
Have you also updated (and corrected) the instructions for building a
native
windows binary (at least the steps you followed) ?
Well, my scripts worked for me (modulo that texinfo issue I
mentioned), so why don't you tell me what troubles you ran into?
Lastly, would it be possible to make it a more standard practice to
keep the
innosetup binaries up-to-date with the source releases (on the beta channel
as well, not just the stable channel) ?
This is doubtful, for me at least. I don't work much under Windows
any more. I will probably keep my XP virtual machine in the freezer,
though, so the possibility exists that I will be able to make setup
kits for future releases. As I mentioned in another email, the path
to reliably building native setup kits for XEmacs under Windows
probably passes through upgrading the Windows build machinery to use a
free version of VS 2010 or 2013 (or more ambitiously - and therefore
more excitingly - some flavor of mingw).
