I searched for the file and the most recent I found as far as I understand it is on http://www.emacswiki.org/. It is from jan this year and there seem to have been rather many persons contributing to it. It is GPL and have the rather common remark "This file is *NOT* (yet?) part of GNU Emacs". There is a remark in the file that it also works with some versions of MinGW which I suppose should be MSYS. It works for me with MSYS (though I have not tested building Emacs with this yet). A nice thing with MSYS is that gnuclient can work with MSYS sh since it translates MSYS style path to ms windows style path (which gnuclient uses internally for file name expansion). If it works for the build process it could probably save time and confusion. - Lennart ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guy Gascoigne - Piggford" Cc: "Emacs Devel" Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 7:31 PM Subject: Re: Boostrap error > I've been slowly trying various solutions here trying to get things > building, my biggest problem has actually been lack of time rather than > lack of interest. > > So, if cygwin-mount.el does all of this, why don't we use it? > > Guy > > Stefan Monnier wrote: ... > >cygwin-mount.el (or cygwin32-mount.el whichever is more recent) handles all > >of that.
