But the Emacs build process needs some utilities like "rm", "cp" or "make" that aren't part of MinGW but MSYS (the are in the "MinGW\msys\1.0\bin" directory). So, I would have to borrow them from another place (e.g. GnuWin). Therefore, what I say is that it would be great if the version of "make" that comes with MSYS didn't have the problem I (and you) said, because then, we'd have a easy to use and monolithic environment to build Emacs on Windows. --=20 Dani Moncayo
