APA> crashed during dump with following CallStack: APA> cd ..\src APA> set EMACSBOOTSTRAPLOADPATH=..\lisp;~\.xemacs;;c:\XEmacs\site-packages;c:\XEmacs\xemacs-packages APA> set EMACSBOOTSTRAPMODULEPATH=..\modules APA> ..\src\temacs.exe -batch -l ..\src\..\lisp\loadup.el dump I think this happened because I had an old src\xemacs.dmp laying around from yesterday. Removing by hand gets me further: d:\tmp\21.2\xemacs\nt\..\src\xemacs.exe -vanilla -batch -l autoload -f batch-update-directory ..\lisp The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'd:\tmp\21.2\xemacs\nt\..\src\xemacs.exe' : return code '0x1' Stop. nmake ... distclean probably needs to be updated -- opinions? Copying temacs.exe to xemacs.exe (as suggested by Fabrice) gets me a bit further: Loading minibuf... loadup.el already loaded! xemacs exiting. cd ..\nt Could Not Find d:\tmp\21.2\xemacs\lisp\auto-autoloads.el d:\tmp\21.2\xemacs\nt\..\src\xemacs.exe -vanilla -batch -l autoload -f batch-update-directory ..\lisp temacs can only be run in -batch mode. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'd:\tmp\21.2\xemacs\nt\..\src\xemacs.exe' : return code '0xffffffff' Stop. What could I try next?
