Christoph always says that explicitly in his announcements. For example: > The Emacs Trunk Windows Binaries (bzr revno 109861) have been published in > > http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ > > The binaries were built using the following libraries: > giflib-4.1.4-1 > gnutls-3.0.9 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< > jpeg-6b-4 > libXpm-3.5.8 > libpng-1.4.3-1 > tiff-3.8.2-1 > zlib-1.2.5-2 > libxml2-2.7.8 > libiconv-1.13.1-1 Also, you should be able to see some hints in the value of system-configuration-options. > so it is hard to use Gnus on windows without spending hours of > googling and reading code to figure out what to do. README.W32 should spell all this out, please tell where it should be improved if it doesn't. However, if you need full control of what's in your build, you need to build Emacs yourself. On any platform.
