Platform: Windows 7
Emacs version: Emacs 24.4 release candidate 1
I used the following commands to build and install Emacs 24.4 release candidate 1:
/f/build-emacs/emacs-24.3.94$ CFLAGS='-I/f/build-emacs/libxpm-3.5.8-w32-src/include -I/f/build-emacs/libxpm-3.5.8-w32-src/src' ./configure --prefix=/f/myemacs-24.3.94
/f/build-emacs/emacs-24.3.94$ make
/f/build-emacs/emacs-24.3.94$ make install
When it is finished, I run emacs -Q
However, a message box is poped up saying:
====================Emacs Abort Dialog ======================
The Emacs Windows initialization file "term/w32-win.el" could not be found in your Emacs installation. Emacs checked the following directories for this file:
("f:/myemacs-24.3.94/site-lisp" "F:/myemacs-24.3.94/../site-lisp" "F:/myemacs-24.3.94/lisp" "F:/myemacs-24.3.94/leim")
When Emacs cannot find this file, it usually means that it was not installed properly, or its distribution file was not unpacked properly.
See the README.W32 file in the top-level Emacs directory for more information.
=======================================================
Actually, w32-win.el EXISTS in my system, but it under F:\myemacs-24.3.94\share\emacs\24.3.94\lisp\term\

Please show the contents of F:/build-emacs/emacs-24.3.94/src/epaths.h.
Also, please make sure you don't have any of the following variables
set, neither in the environment nor in the Registry:
PATH_LOADSEARCH
PATH_SITELOADSEARCH

Please add emacs_dir variable to that list.

Please remove it from the registry and try again.
Also, how did you invoke Emacs after building it? From the command
prompt (and if so, which shell), from a desktop shortcut, Start->Run
dialog, something else?

That is the correct method of building Emacs now.

I don't know yet, because what you report includes some strange
details, see below.
> I ran emacs 24.4 using runemacs.exe from command prompt (cmd.exe).
Please try running emacs.exe from F:\myemacs-24.3.94\bin directly from
the cmd.exe prompt. Does that show the same abort dialog, or does it
run normally?
Here are the questions I have regarding your report:

>
> I used the following commands to build and install Emacs 24.4 release candidate 1:
> /f/build-emacs/emacs-24.3.94$ CFLAGS='-I/f/build-emacs/libxpm-3.5.8-w32-src/include -I/f/build-emacs/libxpm-3.5.8-w32-src/src' ./configure --prefix=/f/myemacs-24.3.94

You say you've built Emacs 24.4 release candidate 1, but the build
directory and the --prefix argument seem to say it's 24.3.94, a
pretest. Likewise, your src/epaths.h file says it's a 24.3.94
pretest:
> #define PATH_LOADSEARCH "%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/24.3.94/lisp"
> #define PATH_SITELOADSEARCH "%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/24.3.94/site-lisp;%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/site-lisp"
> #define PATH_DUMPLOADSEARCH "f:/build-emacs/emacs-24.3.94/lisp"
> #define PATH_EXEC "%emacs_dir%/libexec/emacs/24.3.94/i686-pc-mingw32"
> #define PATH_DATA "%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/24.3.94/etc"
> #define PATH_BITMAPS ""
> #define PATH_DOC "%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/24.3.94/etc"
> #define PATH_INFO "%emacs_dir%/share/info"
> #define PATH_GAME "%emacs_dir%/var/games/emacs"
> #define PATH_X_DEFAULTS ""
So which version did you build, exactly?
Also, did you put the F:\myemacs-24.3.94\bin on your PATH?
In any case, the directories where Emacs claims to have looked for
term/w32-win.el, i.e.
("f:/myemacs-24.3.94/site-lisp" "F:/myemacs-24.3.94/../site-lisp" "F:/myemacs-24.3.94/lisp" "F:/myemacs-24.3.94/leim")
correspond to the old build and install method, the one you used to do
using nt/configure.bat. So my first guess would be that you invoked
an old emacs.exe, which still tries to look for its files in the old
place. Please see what is the full path to emacs.exe that is running
when you are shown the abort dialog (you can do this using specialized
utilities, such as the Process Explorer from SysInternals, whch show
various properties of the running process).

OK, I'm closing the bug.

This is then http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=16429#43
If would be good if the MS Windows build could be robust against these
issues.

If you know how, please suggest a method.

Either a command-line option meaning "ignore the registry", which gets
added to the Makefile Emacs flags; or, if environment variables trump
the registry, change it so that empty environment variables mean "use
the defaults" (right now they just break things), and change the
Makefiles to set empty environment variables rather than unsetting them
like they do now (seemed not straightforward last time I looked).

How does this help when the user just invokes "emacs" with no options,
as in this case?

Why are you talking about the Makefile? The problem ws not in
invoking Emacs from the Makefile, it was in interactive usage after
the build is done (in bug #18765).
