Re: Emacs 24.3 windows binaries are available

[Christoph]

Thank you Miguel for doing this.

Sorry guys, I had to completely take some time off from any side projects for personal matters, but things are looking better now. 

I have been out of the loop of any discussion arount this topic. Is there still the desire to host the Windows binaries on the GNU server? 

I know at least Richard has expressed his dislike of the current distribution mechanism, i.e. Dropbox.

If yes, there are two options: 1.) I (or Miguel?) could upload Miguels build to the GNU server or 2.) I could build the 24.3 like I did with 24.1 and 24.2 and upload it.

Please let me know.

As for the weekly builds I used to provide (more or less weekly), I unfortunately can't commit to doing those anymore. My personal and professional use of Emacs on Windows (I dabble and work almost exlusively in GNU/Linux now :-)) has gone down to almost zero in the last few months and the regular releases are sufficient for my limited use cases. Regular releases I can still build and upload to the GNU server if desired so.

Thanks,

Christoph

you can find, I hope, the last candidate of Emacs 24.3 for Win.

Also, you can find the detailed log of building and dist making. The most relevant part (of the building process) is:

- gcc version 4.7.2

  configure --with-gcc --no-debug 

--cflags -Ic:/EmacsLibs/zlib-dev_1.2.5-2_win32/include 

--cflags -Ic:/EmacsLibs/libXpm-3.5.8/include 

--cflags -Ic:/EmacsLibs/libXpm-3.5.8/src 

--cflags -Ic:/EmacsLibs/libpng-dev_1.4.3-1_win32/include 

--cflags -Ic:/EmacsLibs/giflib-4.1.4-1-lib/include 

--cflags -Ic:/EmacsLibs/jpeg-6b-4-lib/include 

--cflags -Ic:/EmacsLibs/tiff-3.8.2-1-lib/include 

--cflags -Ic:/EmacsLibs/libxml2-2.7.8-w32-bin/include/libxml2 

--cflags -Ic:/EmacsLibs/gnutls-3.0.9-w32/include 

--distfiles c:/EmacsLibs/libXpm-3.5.8/src/libXpm.dll

Thanks Eli for clarifying the details ( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-03/msg00434.html )

Thanks again the GNU and Emacs communities, and Dani Moncayo.

If emacs.exe is preferred with debug info, do not hesitate to ask for it. I have followed the pattern of releases 24.1 and 24.2.
