I am building GNU Emacs using various versions of GCC on MinGW32 (W2K) and also MSVC I have tried GCC 3.2.1, GCC 3.2.2 and GCC 3.3 This happens on both Emacs 21.3 and Emacs 21.2.95 A reproducible recepie for a crash: - Launch emacs - Load library "recentf" (load-library "recentf") - Set the recentf mode (recentf-mode t) - M-x recentf-open-files CRASH (Emacs Abort Dialog: A fatal error has occured!) Next: - Remove the "lisp/wid-edit.elc" file - Run the same scenerio, things work I tried byte-compile-file "lisp/wid-edit.el" to test if a newly generated ".elc" file would work. I does not work. The above said BUG happens only when I use a GCC compiled Emacs binary and not with the binary generated through MSVC I also did the following test to rule out the elisp compilation regression: - I built and installed Emacs using MSVC (D:/GNU/emacs-msvc) - I built and installed Emacs using GCC in a different location (D:/GNU/emacs-gcc) - I launched GNU Emacs (GCC compiled binary) - Opened the "wid-edit.el" file from the MSVC installation - Byte compiled it - Launched MSVC emacs and it works just fine. I seriously doubt the Emacs binary/executable generated by MSVC and GCC with regards, dhruva -- Dhruva Krishnamurthy Home: http://www32.brinkster.com/schemer/
