I can successfully compile on Windows XP Home after applying the enclosed patch. Note that this bug has been present since the emacs-23.1.91 pretest (I've been mostly running Ubuntu on this machine lately.) This leads me to believe there's not much interest in compiling with Microsoft's seven year old compiler. It's rather awkward to make this work since the user needs to download a new version of rc.exe to build the emacs icon. It seems to me there's no real advantage in continuing to support MSVC. Nevertheless, I will continue to (occasionally) report any obvious bugs as I find them. --------------- *** emacs-23.1.96/lib-src/makefile.w32-in.orig 2010-04-19 21:10:56.000000000 -0400 --- emacs-23.1.96/lib-src/makefile.w32-in 2010-04-21 14:25:10.203000000 -04= 00 *************** *** 195,202 **** $(lispsource)term/pc-win.elc \ $(lispsource)x-dnd.elc \ $(lispsource)term/x-win.elc \ ! ${lispsource}emacs-lisp/easymenu.elc \ ! ${lispsource}term/ns-win.elc lisp1=3D \ --- 195,202 ---- $(lispsource)term/pc-win.elc \ $(lispsource)x-dnd.elc \ $(lispsource)term/x-win.elc \ ! $(lispsource)emacs-lisp/easymenu.elc \ ! $(lispsource)term/ns-win.elc lisp1=3D \
