Yes. > Why is it not available here? (Or maybe I can't see it): > https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-29/ Because I'm not aware there's significant demand for a 32-bit build these days, when almost everyone is running a 64-bit system. If you still insist on using my build, you can find it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/ But I didn't bother uploading Emacs 29 there, because I see very few downloads of that port. I think there's a misunderstanding here: this thread is not about 32-bit vs 64-bit build of Emacs; they both work the same AFAIK. This thread is about supporting _any_ Windows port of Emacs, and also about making the UCRT build (as opposed to MSVCRT build, which is what I use here) officially supported by the GNU project. So the fact that I use a 32-bit build environment has only a very tangential relevance to this thread: it explains why it is harder for me personally to be the one who supports these builds. But it would have been hard enough even without this additional aspect. IOW, you've taken a side issue which came up in this discussion and made it the main issue. It isn't.
