A while back (March 2003) I reportd a problem with building XEmacs 21.5 on Windows XP. The details are in a thread entitled "Error if locale is omitted in set-progress-feedback-instantiator" which is available in the list archives. I have no further idea where the bug may lie, but I have now upgraded my main machine to Windows XP, and so my access to Windows 2000 is fairly limited. I do not have MSVC 7, and have no prospect of getting it (it costs too much for me to get it for personal use, and my employer isn't getting it). I am therefore wondering if there is any alternative way of getting Windows binaries for XEmacs betas. Possibilities include: 1. Does anybody distribute prebuilt beta binaries? 2. Can a native XEmacs be built with Mingw (gcc)? I don't do much XEmacs development, but I have run with the beta versions for a while now. If there's no chance of getting binaries, I'll stick with 21.5.14 until the next stable release (22.0?) Obviously, this isn't going to be a high priority for anyone, but I didn't want to give up before I at least asked... Paul. -- This signature intentionally left blank
