Re: Compiling xemacs with Visual Studio 2015 Community ('free') edition

TL;DR: More progress, another patch file with some errors removed. I think the attached now builds cleanly all the way through to dumping xemacs.exe and then trying to use it, which fails (see below). The problem with i.exe remains, but the workaround of just removing it works, _if_ you are vigilant, and whenever an popup window with output from temacs looks like it's finished, you check for a small hidden alert saying "XEmacs exited" and requiring a click on OK. The xemacs crash is reported as follows by VS2015 Unhandled exception at 0x00BCB1AC in xemacs.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00EAE6A4. The VS2015 backtrace is xemacs.exe!pdump_load_finish() Line 2350 C++ xemacs.exe!pdump_load(const wchar_t * argv0) Line 2793 C++ xemacs.exe!xemacs_21_5_b34_i586_pc_win32(int argc, wchar_t * * argv, wchar_t * * unused_envp, int restart) Line 1408 C++ xemacs.exe!main(int argc, char * * argv, char * * unused_envp) Line 3204 C++ Hope someone can reproduce, then help. ht [Note about the attached patches, wrt xemacs.mak: I'm sure the way I'm handling the extra libraries is sub-optimal, but I don't understand how this ever worked in the past. I hope someone who does understand will fix this in a cleaner way.] -- Henry S.
