Recently (mostly for personal edification) I've tried to build XEmacs 21.4 to run under mingw. I've run into several problems - enough that I have to wonder whether the FAQ answer: Q6.1.5: How do I compile using MinGW (aka `the -mno-cygwin flag to gcc')? Similar to the method for Unix. Things to remember: * Specify the target host on the command line for `./configure', e.g. `./configure i586-pc-mingw32'. * Be sure that your build directory is mounted such that it has the same path either as a cygwin path (`/build/xemacs') or as a Windows path (`c:\build\xemacs'). * Build `gcc -mno-cygwin' versions of the extra libs, i.e. `libpng', `compface', etc. * Specify the target location of the extra libs on the command line to `configure', e.g. `./configure --site-prefixes=/build/libs i586-pc-mingw32'. is accurate. Before I cite chapter and verse on my difficulties, I thought I'd ask if anyone has successfully build XEmacs under mingw recently. If so, can you show me a recipe?
