charset=UTF-8 I noticed recently that Emacs didn't have any build instructions for 64-bit Windows - I tried the instructions for the 32-bit build in nt/INSTALL last year [1] but something went wrong at some point (I don't remember what, exactly). I tried again recently using the instructions from the Emacs-w64 project [2] which uses MSYS2 and MinGW-w64 - it worked well and it was also easier to get the necessary libraries, as it has a package manager, pacman. So I thought I would try adapting those instructions to include with Emacs, if it would be helpful - the author Chris Zheng said he wouldn't mind, and I could post it here or the devlist for feedback - it could go in a separate INSTALL64 document, if the existing one is too long. Are there any issues with using MSYS2 over MSYS? I think you can build a 32-bit Emacs with MSYS2 also, but I'm not sure - if so it would be possible to cover both with one document, which might be simpler, but I could start with the 64-bit instructions anyway.
