Ok, I've misunderstood something ... But I've successfully downloaded
this version and run the everything with the help of mingw make. First
I'm not sure if everything went ok.

The last lines of 'make install' are
[...]
 /bin/install -c -m 644 style/subfigure.el
/c/bin/emacs-21.2/site-lisp/auctex/style
 /bin/install -c -m 644 style/subfigure.elc
/c/bin/emacs-21.2/site-lisp/auctex/style
./mkinstalldirs /c/bin/emacs-21.2/site-lisp/auctex/auto
cd doc; make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/c/usr/uli/auctex/doc'
../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/info
for x in auctex auctex-*; do \
        /bin/install -c -m 644 $x /usr/local/info ; \
done
/bin/install-info  --info-dir=/usr/local/info auctex
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/usr/uli/auctex/doc'

Is this 'standard' console output? Where can I check that the newest
auctex is correctly installed and working (maybe like the version info
of emacs in the menu bar)? Do I have to update other files besides
auctex?

Second I don't see any other behavior when compiling. I still have to
input everything by hand (as listed in my first mail).

Probably something is wrong. Any idea?

Best regards,
Ulrich Dirr

P.S. please be patient with me, I'm very unexperienced with this new
environment.
