Subject: bug#45821: Emacs UDP support on Windows
Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2023 15:59:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DB9PR02MB73379D4878FB9D1E49521E4185F79@DB9PR02MB7337.eurprd02.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

I like the nt/INSTALL.W64 file<https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/nt/INSTALL.W64> but somehow I found Step-by-step instructions to build Emacs for Windows 64 bit with MSYS2 and MinGW-w64. Now `native-comp` supported. (github.com)<https://gist.github.com/nauhygon/f3b44f51b34e89bc54f8> more useful. I was wondering if we are allowed to add links to such gists / blogposts? (I understand that they can become obsolete at some point, but a section like useful references would be nice)
* If you look at the gist, it gives a more detailed step-by-step approach around setting MYSYS
* I am not 100% that the packages listed in nt/INSTALL.W64 are sufficient, on a fresh installation of MYSYS -> I will have to check if there are any gaps
My problem with patching:
* I didn’t know how to consume @Robert Pluim<mailto:rpluim@gmail.com>’s change ☹ I had to read a blog post (Working with Git and patches in Emacs (ane.iki.fi)<https://ane.iki.fi/emacs/patches.html>) on how git am works and that I can manually save the text from his change to a file and then use that file to apply changes to my Emacs branch…
* What made it weird in the beginning was that I only had the information from #45821 - 28.0.50; Add UDP support for Emacs on Windows - GNU bug report logs<https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=45821> and most of the apply patch examples refer to you having received an email with the patches as an attachment and then performing actions on it (in my case, I didn’t have any email)
For me, having a good walkthrough with examples is really useful and that’s why I am asking if we can include links to such blogposts:
* I benefited from a walkthrough on MYSYS installation + emacs building
* I benefited from a walkthrough on email patches
I am hoping others could find this useful too when they first take a look at building Emacs themselves.

Which development documentation did you find hard to discover? Please
be more specific.

That was already done a few days ago, please look at the latest Git
repository, in the nt/INSTALL.W64 file.
> * Can we add sections about creating/ applying patches to the README?
This stuff is in CONTRIBUTE.

This is not specific to Emacs, so I don't think it's our job to teach
this. You can always ask on emacs-devel if you have problems
figuring this stuff out.
> * It would be great if all of this will be part of the original README
The purpose of README is different, and it's already quite large. We
describe this in CONTRIBUTE.
> * Where can I find more information about logging from C code?
Use the function 'message'.

I use the debugger when I need this. It is much more flexible and
dfoesn't require me to decide up front what exactly I want to log.
