Compiling Emacs 23.1.92 on Windows fails

Compiling Emacs 23.1.92 on Windows fails

Hi,

I have been trying to compile Emacs Pretest 23.1.92 on Windows 7 
(cygwin, MinGW, GnuWin32) but haven't had any luck.

I run

configure.bat --no-debug --with-gcc --without-png -cflags 
-IC:\Progra~2\GnuWin32\include

then

make bootstrap

and everything runs fine until I get this error:

[...]

Any idea what is causing this?

If you are building the pretest, you don't need to bootstrap, just
type "make" after the configure step.

If that doesn't help, I suspect that your combination of Cygwin and
MinGW tools does not work to build the native port of Emacs (see
nt/INSTALL for some combinations that are known to work).  E.g., it
looks like your Make is a Cygwin port, which is known to fail.  It is
best to use only MinGW tools for the build.

Thanks.  Eli, would it be possible to detect the use of cygwin's make
and output a warning in that case?

If someone tells what does the Cygwin Make print under --version, and
if there's something Cygwin-specific there, then yes, we could test
that in nt/configure.bat.

Failing that, w32proc.c:w32_executable_type has code to detect Cygwin
executables by scanning their DLL import table for cygwin.dll.  We
could start the build by compiling a simple program to diagnose
make.exe using that method.  Seems a bit gross, though.

I don't know if this is related, but here is the contents of config.log
when I did,

cmd /c configure.bat --without-png --without-jpeg --without-tiff
--without-gif --cflags -IC:\libXpm-3.5.8\src

gcc -c junk.c 
junk.c:1:29: error: cygwin/version.h: No such file or directory
The failed program was: 
#include "cygwin/version.h" 
main(){} 
gcc  -c junk.c 
gcc -c -O2 -mtune=pentium4 junk.c 
GCC supports -mtune=pentium4 
gcc -c -gdwarf-2 -g3 junk.c 
GCC supports DWARF-2 
Emacs successfully configured. 

'Cept, still no support for the tool-bar icons.

I sure would appreciate any feedback about the configure syntax above.

Unrelated because I was using MinGW, solely, for configuration and
build.  Sorry.

Take a look at the value of the variable image-library-alist.  Do you
have one of the libraries named there which Emacs can use for XPM
image type, and does that library live somewhere on your PATH, or in
the same directory where you have emacs.exe?

Yes, in both cases.  Sorry for the delay in the reply.

I think you are missing something like this

--cflags -IC:\libXpm-3.5.8\include

to include the xpm.h header file.

The src directory just includes the simx.h but to compile Xpm support 
you need the xpm.h, right?
