Hi Everyone,

Can anyone kindly give this newbie a few pointers of what command you used to
check out the source and to compile the binaries, ie what software and
configuration was needed to do it ?

The EmacsW32 pages are what I used.  Lennart spells it out well.  When
you hit the few little snags you'll hit, ask again.

If you mean on Windows, see nt/INSTALL in the source tree.

This site has instructions for checking out the development sources:

If I attempt to launch this emacs from a cygwin bash shell (running 
inside MinTTY), I get:
Stack overflow in equal

Adding -Q does not help, same error.

If I instead try to launch it from within Powershell v2, emacs works fine.

What is going on here? I never had this problem before.

Ok, I have narrowed down the problem a bit more. If I start emacs with 
--font "DejaVu Sans Mono-10" I get that error regardless of what shell I 
happen to be using. What is wrong here?

It's a bug.  It was fixed this morning.  This is what you get for
using the cutting edge.

Thanks for your quick replies, Mr Zaretskii and Mr Adams. I will run the 
previous set of posted binaries until a new set has been released.

I reported the same problem - that build is useless to me.
See bug #6629, which has apparently been fixed.
