The nt/configure.bat script complains with errors like this: D:\exp\emacs\emacs\nt>if ()==(cl) goto compilercheckdone Syntax error File not found. The script does not end, it seems to enter an infinite loop. Tried executing cmd.exe with /E:ON or /X but made no difference. This is what I'm using: oscar@qcore:~/dev/exp/emacs$ wine --version wine-1.4.1 oscar@qcore:~/dev/exp/emacs$ wine cmd.exe CMD Version 1.4.1 What's the oldest OS version supported by the build scripts?
