EU Please read the file nt/INSTALL in its entirety. You will see that it clearly advises _against_ using the Cygwin Make (which I assumed you used, since you tried to compile with the Cygwin tools). I suggest a four-step dance to build the native version of Emacs: . Start a native Windows Command Prompt window, running cmd.exe, not Bash. . Rename or temporarily remove the Cygwin port of Bash. . Install a native port of GNU Make. . Repeat the commands mentioned above.
