For comparison I also installed > MinGW. Then I downloaded the cvs emacs repository. I've just compilled the CVS version of emacs on windows. The easiest way is using mingw and msys. 1) Simply install mingw in c:\mingw and install msys in c:\msys. Then add c:\mingw\bin and c:\msys\bin to your path. 2) Also don't forget to copy c:\mingw\mingw32-make.exe to c:\mingw\make.exe so that there will ba a "make" in your path. 3) Then open a "command prompt", by running cmd.exe or command depending on your version of windows. Go to wherever you have the cvs of emacs and run configure. After that type "make install INSTALL_DIR=c:/emacs" (replace c:/emacs with whatever directory you want emacs in). 4) For some reason I have to go into c:/emacs/bin and run addpm.exe manually (it happens automatically with other versions of emacs) to add the emacs icon and everything. Hope that helps, Bijan
