Hi,

Yesterday I sent the bellow message to help-emacs-windows mailing
list, but It still doesn't appear in the archives (strange), so I'm
forwarding it here to emacs-devel (which also seems more appropriate,
since it is not a user-level question).

Subject: Building Emacs trunk on Windows 7, using MinGW + MSYS
To: help-emacs-windows@gnu.org


Hi,

I'm trying to build Emacs (the latest trunk version) on my system
(Windows 7 64-bit). I've tried to follow the instructions in
"INSTALL.BZR" and "nt/INSTALL", but I still haven't found the way.

Here's what I've tried:
1. I've installed the latest MinGW/MSYS in folder "C:\MinGW".
2. I've added "C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin" to the system PATH.
3. I've tested the environment by writing and building a "hello world"
C program.  It works fine.
4. I've pulled the latest Emacs trunk to "C:\Emacs\trunk".
5. From a console (cmd.exe), I've executed these commands:
 5.1 cd C:\Emacs\trunk\nt
 5.2 configure --without-xpm --without-png --without-jpeg
--without-tiff --without-gif > configure.log 2>&1
 5.3 make bootstrap > make.log 2>&1

I'm attaching the output from configure and make commands
("configure.log" and "make.log").

The make command stops after a while.  It seems that a new session of
cmd.exe has been started, and is waiting for input.  I know this
because I see two "cmd.exe" processes in the task manager, and also
the last part of make's output suggests that.

Do you know what am I doing wrong?

TIA.

Just out of curiosity, does it work if you do

  make SHELL=cmd bootstrap

?

It doesn't, I'm afraid (I think tried it before).

Just after typing RET, I see a new cmd.exe process in the task
manager, but it must be stopped, because it consumes no CPU and the
terminal show nothing new.

Curious.

Your bootstrapping stops here:

  cmd /c "fc /b gl-tmp globals.h >nul 2>&1 || cp -f gl-tmp globals.h"
  Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
  Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

which seems to indicate that instead of running the fc.exe tool with
/c, it is entering a sub-shell. Can you set the PATH, change to src/
and execute that command directly at the CMD prompt? Try also
executing that in the MSYS sh.exe. Let's see what do you find.

That seems consistent with CMD starting a subshell and stopping there,
instead of running fc.exe and then exiting.

Remove MSYS from your PATH, and try again.

Except that the MSYS Bash thinks "/c" is a POSIX-ized file name,
converts it to "C:/", and the rest is history.  This is exactly the
problem with MSYS shell mentioned in nt/INSTALL.

Yes, it's been a while since I last read that part, and much, much
longer since I tried to use MSYS for anything :-)

I also get this behaviour.  Running the same command line at the shell
prompt seems to work (even including cmd /c, to run it in a subshell),
and exiting from that shell lets the build continue to successful
completion.

I am using GNU make 3.81 (i386-mingw) on Vista, with no unix-like shells
anywhere on my PATH.

Weird. As Eli pointed out, that seems to be a specific problem with
the MSYS bash.

Can you use some utility to see what was the exact command line with
which that sub-shell was invoked, and who was its parent process?
Process Explorer from Sysinternals is one such utility.
