I presently don't know if it's wine happening to expose some odd problem in w32 emacs redraw or (I guess rather more likely) a wine-side bug. I found it also "nearly" bootstraps with mingw under wine, with only a few immediately apparent problems (no doubt there could be many creeping hidden ones...): * wine's cmd.exe chokes on parts of configure.bat, but wine's cmd.exe apparently has several known issues, including not supporting a "copy a+b c" syntax (microsoft's idea of cat, apparently) which of course configure.bat uses heavily. There are other non-microsoft cmd.exes which fare better, though I ended up manually doing a bunch of stuff. * a known wine bug regarding popen() that affects windres.exe calls from within scripts (but not at toplevel). Could be just my unfamiliarity: * something hangs during compilation of tramp that I haven't resolved yet, though it could be similar to: * Depending on which version of which w32 diff and patch port (there seem to be quite a few floating about...) you have installed, ediff compilation hangs. I guess that might happen on windows too, but I don't really know. Neither tramp nor ediff are critical for my immediate purposes, just mentioning because you have to kill the relevant subprocess to allow the build to proceed.
