I am building CVS HEAD using MinGW-GCC and MSVC6 and face the same problem of addpm.exe getting stuck duing "nmake (gmake) install". I found that it is getting stuck in DdeConnect(). I am not aware of DDE mechanism but feel we should have a time out. Since "addpm.exe" is trivia and does not affect the working of GNU Emacs, the install should progress even if "addpm.exe" fails. Also, I noticed "gmake info" failes on MinGW-GCC on W2K. The problem is with backslash ("\") in makefile.w32-in at target "info:". Changing it to forward slashes "/", fixes this problem. with best regards, dhruva ________________________________________ Dhruva Krishnamurthy Proud FSF member: #1935 http://schemer.fateback.com/
