Building Emacs on MS Windows

[Lars Hansen]

I have some problems building Emacs from CVS on MS Windows.

1. It seems the files nt/configure.bat and nt/makefile.w32-in have wrong
newlines.

2. When I correct this and try the command "configure.bat" followed by
mingw32-make.exe bootstrap" in the nt directory, I get a lot of errors like:

 >>Error occurred processing calc/calc-aent.el: File error (("Opening
input file" "no such file or directory"
"d:/cvs/emacs/nt/calc/calc-aent.el"))

Obviosly the problem is that the directory calc resides in the directory
lisp rather than in the directory nt. I have tried in the file
lisp/makefile to prefix each module name in the variable WINS with
"$(lisp)/". That seems to get me past the problem above. But then I get
the following error:

mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory `D:/cvs/emacs/leim'
"./../src/oo-spd/i386/emacs.exe" -batch --no-init-file --no-site-file
--multibyte -l D:/cvs/emacs/leim/../lisp/international/titdic-cnv \
     --eval '(batch-titdic-convert t)' \
     -dir quail ./CXTERM-DIC
Converting d:/cvs/emacs/nt/CXTERM-DIC to quail-package...

mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `D:/cvs/emacs/leim'
d:\mingw\bin\mingw32-make.exe: *** [all-other-dirs-gmake] Error 2

Obviosly the problem is the directory CXTERM-DIC resides in the
directory leim rather than in the directory nt.

What is wrong here?
