Re: Help: build emacs in cygwin

[djh]

I did not have the problems that Angelo had. (I do have crash problems, but 
almost exclusively when using ddskk, a skk based Japanese input method.). 

I believe Angelo also had symbol problems, that is a lack of symbols for 
debugging.

I believe the problem is not the compiler, but the cygwin x-window 
implementation.
If if the compiler, then it has been fixed (my 3.4.4 shows an installed date of 
December 18, 2006).

I mainly have problems (crashes) when using a Japanese input method.  
Which leads me more to believe that the problem is not the compiler but the 
cygwin x-window implementation.

I just downloaded and built the newest gcc, gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20070312 
(prerelease)
and compiled emacs with it successfully.

I still get:

emacs: standard input is not a tty

Which leads me to believe it is not a compiler problem.
