Perhaps try > invoking it from the command line, and see if it reports any errors. I've found the problem and one solution. Error messages like this one: install-info: No such file or directory for /usr/share/info/emacs.info suggested that this command from the Makefile: /bin/install-info --info-dir=c:/usr/share/info c:/usr/share/info/$elt was failing because, the shell was passing the argument "/usr/share/info/XXXX" to the program instead of the intended "c:/usr/share/info/XXXX", and "/usr/share/info/XXXX" is a different path which references to a non-existent file. I've tried to use the UNIX-like path: "make install prefix=/c/usr" and it solved the problem. This seems to suggest that, from the MSYS bash, it is safer to use the UNIX-like paths instead of the Windows native ones. I've also repeated the whole configuration using exclusively UNIX-like paths: $ CPPFLAGS='-DGLYPH_DEBUG=1 -I/c/include' CFLAGS='-O0 -g3' ../mybranch/nt/msysconfig.sh --prefix=/c/usr --enable-checking It worked fine, and "make && make install" worked fine too. The resulting Emacs has a complete info directory. Good!! There remains a minor annoyance, though: the info directory (attached to this mail) has some parts with DOS-type EOLs an other parts with UNIX-type EOLs. Therefore, my Emacs shows some annoying "^M" chars. -- Dani Moncayo
