What does your nt\config.inc look like? Ever since > 21.2-b32 xemacs.mak uses config.inc instead of command-line options. Here is my config.inc: How did you obtain 21.2-b35 (CVS or tarballs)? If the answer is CVS, make sure your version is unmodified (run cvs update again). Maybe the SPC in your zlib path is causing the trouble? Try moving it from "My Documents" to some place without a SPC in the name.
