I have a virtual Windows image that I use for testing. Can somebody please point me at the exact instructions that I need to follow? Most of my computing experience is with GNU/Linux, so knowing exactly how to set up the build environment would be useful, although I can fumble my way to getting the GNU chain installed, I'm sure. You will find the instructions in nt/INSTALL and nt/INSTALL.W64 in the Emacs Git repository. > Incidentally, http://www.appveyor.com/ can be used in continuous integration for testing on Windows. I use it in my free software projects and its a real time saver. If GNU Emacs was hosted on github it would be possible to trigger a Windows test on every push to master (this might be possible as a mirror). I use a combination of appveyor and a self-hosted https://github.com/drone/drone/ to test, build and deploy our continual delivery releases for all major platforms. > > So, ideally, I'd like to get the GNU Emacs windows builds running off an appveyor script so it should work with the click of a button. Thanks, but these issues are better discussed on emacs-devel@gnu.org, not here.
