You need to get these from bzr. The admin\nt directory to point to is actually the one checked out from bzr. For example: C:\emacs-bzr\trunk\admin\nt Since you have the makedist.bat I assume you have the bzr checkout somewhere. Thank you for replying, Christoph. Right, after unpacking the pretest tarball, I copied admin/ to emacs-23.1.94. Try this: Extract the tarball to C:\, i.e. C:\emacs-23.1.94\ Copy makedist.bat from \trunk\admin\nt to C:\ Done when I did the above, right? Then run: makedist 23.1.94 emacs-23.1.94 C:\emacs-bzr\trunk\admin\nt Even thought I've copied admin/ to emacs-23.1.94? Okay. But it still doesn't work. That should do it. You might just have to adjust the directory structure to point to your bzr checkout. I am actually working on an automated way of building and packaging the Windows version of emacs. nmake support is giving me some headache though, so it could be a little while longer until it is available. Yes. I've been following the little you and Jason having posted on emacs-devel. Keep me posted. Let me know if this works, I just did this a couple of days ago and can help troubleshoot. But you also mentioned in another thread something about producing an empty file, no? What solved that? Because running makedist produces empty bin and barebin zips.
