Here is the error messages for bootstraping CVS Emacs using cygwin make.

[Steven Wu]

using cmd /c configure.bat --with-gcc to configure the Emacs build tree, then make --win32 bootstrap.

the result:

The problem is that cmd doesn't follow the path when executing commands like ../nt/... I have had enough time to try everything, like get the CVS tree, and start from scratch. I just make --realclean to clean everything, then do the configure.

Sorry about the misunderstanding.
