Building Emacs on Windows according to nt/INSTALL.MSYS,
outside the source tree as recommended, "make -k bootstrap"
fails while processing {build_dir}/lib/Makefile, with the errors:
make[2]: Entering directory `/c/emacs/build/lib'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `alloca.in.h', needed by `alloca.h'.
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `errno.in.h', needed by `errno.h'.
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `execinfo.in.h', needed by `execinfo.h'.
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `getopt.in.h', needed by `getopt.h'.
Note that the prerequisites are at {trunk}/lib/alloca.in.h, etc.
All seems to work fine if I build inside the source tree.

Looks like "make bootstrap" is currently broken on Windows when you do
that outside of the source tree. The problem is tricky, I will fix it
when I have time. (Btw, the problem I saw does not manifest itself by
the above error messages, it fails in a different way.)
Anyway, you don't need "make bootstrap" on the first build with the
MSYS method. In fact, you shouldn't need "make bootstrap" at all,
unless there are deep changes in Lisp that break a normal "make"
build. And, contrary to what you say, there's no recommendation to
bootstrap in INSTALL.MSYS, it says to use just "make".
I just tried a build with "make" outside of the source tree, and I
didn't have the above problems. (There's a VPATH line in lib/Makefile
that points to the source directory and allows Make to find the
prerequisites.)

Thanks. I tried that too after reading your reply and got the same
errors again. Possibly there's an issue with VPATH support in the
default MSYS Make. In any case, I don't get this problem with the
pre-release version of Make mentioned in INSTALL.MSYS.

... but the out-of-tree build is still broken (even with the pre-release
make, and without bootstrap).

Not here, sorry.
It sounds like the files it cannot find are all generated by saving
the autoloads of certain Lisp packages. Did you perhaps inadvertently
deleted those files? If so, does "make autoloads" in the Lisp
directory solve the problem?

No. I did this:
bzr clean-tree --unknown --ignored --detritus --verbose --force
bzr revert --no-backup
bzr pull --overwrite
bzr update
before running autogen, configure and make in MSYS.

Possibly, I will check. But make should still make, right?

"make autoloads" in the lisp directory succeeds, but there
are errors from some of the commands (this is perhaps
nearer the root cause of the error). Subsequent "make"
still fails as before. I've attached the output of
"make autoloads 2>&1".

It's possible that the above commands don't produce a clean branch. I
suggest to do a "bzr branch" and then compare the pristine branch with
this one.

The "all" target doesn't seem to invoke anything that recreates those
files. Whether that is a or isn't a bug is another matter, but it
surely isn't Windows specific.

I think the problem is here:
EMACSLOADPATH=g:/emacs/trunk/lisp LC_ALL=C /g/emacs/build/src/emacs -batch --no-site-file --no-site-lisp -l autoload \
--eval "(setq generate-autoload-cookie \";;;###cal-autoload\")" \
--eval "(setq generated-autoload-file (unmsys--file-name \"g:/emacs/trunk/lisp/calendar/cal-loaddefs.el\"))" \
^^^^
How come you get here "d:/foo/bar" style of file names, and not MSYS's
usual "/d/foo/bar"? Did you per chance invoke the configure script as
"g:/emacs/trunk/nt/msysconfig ..."? If so, try "/g/emacs/..."
instead.
I think what happens in the above command is that MSYS converts
g:/emacs/trunk/lisp/calendar/cal-loaddefs.el
into
g;\emacs\trunk\lisp\calendar\cal-loaddefs.el
(note the semi-colon and the backslashes), because it thinks this is a
colon-separated path. That's why Emacs complains about invalid escape
sequences. Can you add a 'message' to unmsys--file-name to see what
kind of argument it is called with?
