For people building on GNU/Linux maybe, but since the Windows binary distributions are built from the source tarball, it is very much relevant (for some users). > But you're saying that you want to start from a source tarfile and make > a binary tarfile? I don't know how to reconcile these two. Yes, start from a source tarfile and make a binary zipfile using the `mingw32-make dist' target I wrote for Windows. (As a side note, I probably should change the name of the target to `dist-w32' or `bin-dist' to not confuse it with `make-dist'). The target is mainly used by Sean to build the weekly builds and should also be used to consistently build the Windows Emacs releases in an automated fashion from the source tarballs. Christoph
