Re: Windows native build failure

Ar an séiú lá de mí na Samhain, scríobh Vin Shelton: I wrote the patch over a period of months; I assure you I wasn’t rushing it. This is the normal consequence of developing on a platform that you don’t build on, or on which you only build when you’ve free time in a full-time job. Just like, for example, the issue that provoked the recent mail on building on AIX giving an empty file. I know Windows is an important platform, and I’ve been planning on and off to get myself a machine or a VMWare image or a partition to test Windows builds on. But, this laptop regularly overheats building XEmacs as it is--it’s likely to behave even worse under VMWare. I haven’t the stomach for the weekend necessary to get NetBSD and XP to play nice on my hard disk, especially since these builds are the only reason I need to or want to use XP. Current plans are to get a Mac Mini and install Bootcamp--I anticipate getting to doing that in early January. Until then, I will pay more attention to the Windows stuff, but I can’t guarantee that I won’t repeat this sort of mistake. I thank you in advance for your forbearance. -- Santa Maradona, priez pour moi! _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
