Re: Bootstrapping CVS Emacs fails with VC 2003 on Windows XP Professional

[dhruva]

Hi,
 Another small problem I noticed. Using MinGW build, after a
bootstrap, the emacs.exe under the 'bin' folder gets deleted. This
happens for the bootstrap target under 'lisp' folder. Due to this, a
later 'make recompile' fails. I propose not deleting the emacs.exe
from the 'bin' folder.
