Thank you, I look into it.

Did you build it with the new `make dist' target?

After a usual configure, make bootstrap, make install (using mingw on a 
Vista machine) emacs worked fine including image support as desired.

I had some difficulties using "make dist" on the sources from August, 5th.

Here is what I had to do to make it work:
1) Delete the line $(CP_DIR) $(DIST_FILES) $(TMP_DIST_DIR)/bin because 
DIST_FILES is not set in the makefile
2) Copy the files BUGS, COPYING,README,README.W32 and INSTALL into the 
installation directory which is not part of make install.

Probably it's my fault. Any comments?

Martin

Did you use the --distfiles option to specify the location of the image 
library (libXpm.dll) with configure.bat?

For example, like this

configure.bat --distfiles C:\DistFileDir

This will set the DIST_FILES variable in the makefile and is necessary 
in order to use `make dist'.

Looks to me like you forgot the --distfiles option. That's why the 
makefile does not contain the DIST_FILES variable. You should not have 
to manually copy anything. Also note, that this is not supposed to do 
what `make install' does. It is supposed to conveniently build and 
package a Windows distribution in a .zip file, which then has to be 
unzipped to the installation location. You also need 7zip on the path 
for this to work.

In an updated trunk checkout, I just did

bzr clean-tree --unknown --ignored --detritus --force
configure.bat --no-cygwin --enable-checking --with-gcc --distfiles 
D:\devel\emacs\libXpm-3.5.8\src\libXpm.dll --cflags 
-IC:\Progra~2\GnuWin32\include --cflags 
-ID:\devel\emacs\libXpm-3.5.8\include --cflags 
-ID:\devel\emacs\libXpm-3.5.8\src
mingw32-make bootstrap
mingw32-make dist

and it worked fine.

No I did not because I had not noticed it. This explains the issues I had.

This was exactly why I wanted to try it: i want to install the compiled 
version on a Win7 x64 machine. I couldn't find a mingw version for it.

Thanks for the explanation!
