CVS users are expected to either read INSTALL-CVS or cope with it when they get that error the first time they build from CVS. Subsequent builds will not require a make bootstrap (but you'll need to "make recompile" in the lisp subdir to generate any new .elc files). > > Is not broken, it's simply not supported, because most Windows users > > don't have the tools to build info files.

The intent is to assume that it is available and try to build the info files. It is only an issue for CVS users, so it is not too much to expect them to be able to install it. Configure tests are difficult to get right on Windows, because of the variety of shells that need to be catered for. > Yes, I had optimization enabled which resulted in a crash whenever I > tried to display a png or tiff file.

Can one of you try to investigate, perhaps by disabling optimization options one by one (I think we use -O2, but it is possible to have finer control). Once we narrow down the type of optimization that is causing this, it may become apparent what sort of problem to look for. The MS compiler I have does not do optimization, so I cannot debug this directly myself.
