Re: Failures in build Emacs-CVS on Cygwin

[Angelo Graziosi <Angelo.Graziosi@roma1.infn.it>]

I have asked and Cygwin suggests this:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00599.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00600.html

I will try to understand deeply these suggestions to see how they work.

While waiting for the above answers I downloaded new CVS (which differ
very little from the previous), and now the build fails at the end of
installation, i.e. after the bootstrap!

When all works fine, the build is completed in this way

Assuming /usr/spool/mail is really the mail spool directory, you should
run lib-src/blessmail

usr/local/emacs-cvs/libexec/emacs/22.0.90/i686-pc-cygwin/movemail.exe
as root, to give movemail.exe appropriate permissions.
Do that after running make install.

Making the binary package...

 THE BUILD FINISHES AT 2006.11.18-15:12:52

Cheers,
