If the configuration script failed to find all required programs,
make sure that these programs are in your system path and add
directories containing the programs to the `PATH' environment
variable if necessary. Here is how to do that in W2000/XP:
1. On the desktop, right click "My Computer" and select
properties.
2. Click on "Advanced" in the "System Properties" window.
3. Select "Environment Variables".
4. Select "path" in "System Variables" and click "edit". Move
to the front in the line (this might require scrolling) and
add the missing path including drive letter, ended with a
semicolon.
[...]
As an alternative to specifying variables for the `configure' call
you can add directories containing the required executables to the
`PATH' variable of your Windows system. This is especially a good
idea if Emacs has trouble finding the respective programs later
during normal operation.
