This mail is just to watermark that the current cvs version, downloaded on Feb. 20th, 2007, built successfully without any special tinkering, using cygwin and cygwin's X-window functionality.

GNU Emacs 22.0.93.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit) of 2007-02-21 on henman-np

On platform with:
      CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.24(0.156/4/2) 2007-01-31 10:57
      gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
      ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.23a (1.1220.2.412 2006/10/13 14:13:30)
      GNU Make 3.81

Thanks for testing and for reporting this.

Is it possible for you to try the latest pretest tarball?  It is
important for us to know whether the distribution tarball builds
(./configure; make; make install) cleanly on all supported platforms.

TIA

Thanks, I added a suitable entry to etc/PROBLEMS, describing the
problem and its solution, as you proposed.

If the pretest is
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-22.0.93.tar.gz (timestamp
01/23/2007 01:16, size 37,118,034), I have built it on Cygwin, since it
was released, without problems (using GCC-4.0.3 for stability reasons).


Cheers,

   Angelo.

Thanks.  But I'd like to hear from other Cygwin users as well, if
there are any.
