Why I can't compile the Eamcs23 under Windows XP?

Why I can't compile the Eamcs23 under Windows XP?

[Water Lin]

I think I follow the steps instructed on the page of
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/w32-build-emacs.html.

But I still can't compile Emacs23 under my Windows.

Here is my main steps:

1) install MinGW; also install CoreUtils for Windows tool.

2) check out CVS code, enter the nt folder within windows cmd.exe.

3) run configure:
configure.bat --with-gcc --cflags -IC:/"Program Files"/GnuWin32/include
--without-xpm

PS: I install xpm but I can't find it in configure. My version of xpm is
from:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/xpm.htm

I feel very strange.

4) run make command:
mingw32-make bootstrap

When I make, the cmd shows errors:
--------------------------------------------------

Why and thanks.

Something is very wrong with your installation.  Can you compile a
simple C program?

Please also post a full list of packages you installed under item 1
above.
