(You do realize that nt/INSTALL is for building Emacs on MS-Windows, yes?) nt/INSTALL begins with a 27-line short description of the build procedure. All the rest explains how to set up the development environment, where to find optional support libraries, etc. -- something that on Windows is not always trivial. If you already have figured out how to set up your build environment, you don't need to read anything past those first 27 lines. IOW, the rest of the 1500 lines have nothing to do with the build per se. > @Nico: I guess you're most experienced one here - are these file up-to-date? They are.
