Hi Corwin, thank you for showing me the files I've tried building only the
installer using "build-zips.sh -i" but i'm getting an error "Error
while loading icon from
"emacs-30.0.50\share\emacs\30.0.50\etc\images\icons\hicolor\scalable\a
pps\emacs.ico": can't open file" can you tell me Where the share folder should
be?
