Eric> back here again. did I miss an update? You can always check with the buildbot how the bleeding edge situation is. "http://www.lidell.nu/xemacs-buildbot". You could be specially interested in the windows builds. We have currently three green and one red windows build. Unfortunately(!?) the red build is not the same error as you get. Having had a quick look at your setup a few things strike me as interesting and differ with the buildbot windows builds: - You have support for X-windows configured in. I don't say that is wrong but I have problems with that before. Maybe you could try to configure without X-support under cygwin. Normally I try to avoid X-support under cygwin all together. You could also try to copy one off the builds that work for the buildbot just to see if it succeeds but add also "--with-x=no". - You seem to run cygwin on a 64 bit machine? That might give different results than the buildbot does. Those builds are on an 32-bit XP machine.

Eric> is there any place for these options are explained? These options are a party of four different builds that is thought to test the build. They are not an example of a good set for a user. If your goal is to get a working xemacs under windows I thought it would be a good idea to look a set of options that do get a working build and then change your configuration to go in that direction. I think my configuration of the xemacs I use on windows just has --with-mule as option. I can give you the details later, I'm not on that machine now. But then I haven't installed X-windows under cygwin. So you might be better of with --with-mule --with-x=no. I think you should install the graphics libraries as well. Eric> If it helps any, and I can control the load, I'm willing to be Eric> one of the built bots for Windows 7-64 Great. The load control I can provide is just to build one of the four builds at the time. You will need to install the buildbot buildslave and get some info from me. I haven't documented how I installed the buildslave on Windows but I think I can create a description if you feel you want one. The generic description, which should work, is here: http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/RunningBuildbotOnWindows but I think is was even easier than that. For one thing I used python installed with cygwin.
