I don't think it has anything to do with MS VS at all: commenting out lets me proceed. Now, I spotted a few other issues: - nt/README mentions http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/optional-libs-vc8.exe but then goes on to claim that optional-libs.exe was compiled with "VC++ .NET". I couldn't find optional-libs-vc8.exe at all. Moreover, optional-libs.exe doesn't seem to work with VS 8. Could somebody clarify? - The invocation of make-docfile.exe from make-docfile.el crashes in make-docfile.exe. Curiously, running make-docfile.exe from a command-line window with the exact command-line generated by make-docfile.el works fine. I was then able to build a running XEmacs. - xemacs.mak has: PATH_PREFIX=.. which seems a singularly bad choice. This directory is really meant to be absolute. I replaced by: !if $(INFODOCK) PATH_PREFIX=../.. !else PATH_PREFIX="$(INSTALL_DIR)" !endif PATH_DEFINES=-DPATH_PREFIX=\"$(PATH_PREFIX:\=\\)\" which seems to work fine. Does anybody know any specific reason for the strange setting? -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
