No. You got me ashamed. ;-)
As I said: I *did* compile a CVS version before. It's just that it
took so much time to do 'make bootstrap' (more than 2 hours) the last
time I did it (on Linux), that I wanted to know what I could tweak/omit
there.
Thinking of it: Maybe it had something to do with the fact that the
previous machine had "only" about 500 Mhz and 256 MB RAM. And KDE was
probably running, too ;-)
Good news is: You were right. It only took about 30 minutes to compile
the beast. CVS-Emacs is running. (forgive me for not posting with
Gnus yet, though)
BTW: What kind of toolkit does it use by default, on Windows? I didn't
specify any --with-x-toolkit option. Just ran the default
configure.bat. Looks butt-ugly. Looks like Xaw3d or Athena. Just
uglier ;-)
However, my orginal question has not been answered yet: Is there a
convenient way to specify what should be compiled and what not? e.g.:
If I don't want Gnus to be compiled in the CVS-built-process, how would
I do that?
BTW: Many Thanks for the link

No way I could have succeeded without it. Maybe I should contact this
guy Lennart Borgman, though, for him to update the site a bit. I had
to do some tweaks manually in order to get it working. That's not a
complaint. I'm aware that he cannot keep track of all the changes that
these projects (Emacs, MinGW, GnuWin32, UnixUtils) implement. I'm just
talking from a viewpoint of a Newbie.
I'll try to recall the "tweaks", as long as my memory is fresh:
- He proposes to get make.exe, but I can't find make.exe on
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
I had to get it from MinGW. Mind you: I'm not saying that it's not
there. I'm just stating that I, as a Newbie, couldn't find it right
away.
- copy mingw32-make.exe to make.exe (BTW: why can't I simply make a
link?)
- He proposes to get makeinfo.exe. I can't find that either on the
GnuWin32 site
- he proposes to install some Unix Utilities from GnuWin32. I've
installed the FileUtils and FindUtils. These depend on the LibIntl
and LibIconv dlls. However, the *.zip file only contains a
libintl-2.dll. When trying to run a binary from the GnuWin32\bin
directory it complains about a missing libintl3.dll. When copying
libintl-2.dll to libintl3.dll the problem is resolved.
Again: I'm not complaining! I'm just sharing my experience, in order
to make it easier for other Users/Newbies to get it running.
Many thanks to Chong Yidong, Lennart Borgman, Peter Dyballa and
Thien-Thi Nguyen!
