I successfull configured the pretest from alpha.gnu.org using

configure --with-gcc --no-opt --cflags -Ic:/imagesupport/include

but `make' failed with

My crystal ball says that leim/makefile.w32-in lacks quotes around the
argument of the -l switch in the above command.  Could you try adding
the quotes?

You are building Emacs in a directory whose name includes a blank.

Thank you, Eli.

Now what I don't get is when I do

C:\emacs-23.1.94\admin\nt>makedist 23.1.94 emacs-23.1.94 C:\distfiles

I get:

Looks like you have the arguments to makedist in the wrong order.  The
3rd arg should be where the README.W32 file lives.  What do you have
in C:\distfiles?

    Looks like you have the arguments to makedist in the wrong order.  The
    3rd arg should be where the README.W32 file lives.  What do you have
    in C:\distfiles?

When `makedist' with no arguments, help is provided:

Usage: makedist emacs-version dist-basename distfiles [bin,barebin]
  (e.g., makedist 19.34 emacs-19.34.5 d:\andrewi\distfiles)

So I tried

 - C:\emacs-23.1.94 as the third argument

then I tried `make install INSTALL_DIR=D:/emacs'

suggested (where the README.W32 file is).

makedist 23.1.94 emacs-23.1.94 C:\emacs-23.1.94\admin\nt

Re: 23.1.94 ms windows build failure

[Christoph]

Sean,

The problem is that the tarball does not contain the necessary files, 
i.e. README.W32. You need to get these from bzr.

The admin\nt directory to point to is actually the one checked out from bzr.

For example: C:\emacs-bzr\trunk\admin\nt

Since you have the makedist.bat I assume you have the bzr checkout 
somewhere.

Try this:

Extract the tarball to C:\, i.e. C:\emacs-23.1.94\

Copy makedist.bat from \trunk\admin\nt to C:\

Then run:

makedist 23.1.94 emacs-23.1.94 C:\emacs-bzr\trunk\admin\nt

That should do it. You might just have to adjust the directory structure 
to point to your bzr checkout.

I am actually working on an automated way of building and packaging the 
Windows version of emacs. nmake support is giving me some headache 
though, so it could be a little while longer until it is available.

Let me know if this works, I just did this a couple of days ago and can 
help troubleshoot.

Christoph

What is the problem? I thought a lot of people have made automated
ways of building and packaging the windows version of Emacs.

I for example have some scripts that does this (though they are
probably much more complicated than you need, but I am not sure).
Could you perhaps tell me what you want to do?

A new build target

make dist

which then builds the source, copies the required libraries (libXmp.dll) 
from a specifed location in the bin directory, and finally packages 
everything into the .zip.

One command, fully automated. No manual copying or calling batch files.

Plus it would work from the trunk (and create a snapshot binary) as well 
as the tarball.

You got something like that? I have to admit I have never checked out 
emacs-w32. Maybe I should. :)

It is a batch file that does all the job from checkout, building,
packaging-renaming to uploading. Do you see some problem with that?

Thank you for replying, Christoph.  Right, after unpacking the pretest

    Try this:

    Extract the tarball to C:\, i.e. C:\emacs-23.1.94\

    Copy makedist.bat from \trunk\admin\nt to C:\

Done when I did the above, right?

    Then run:

    makedist 23.1.94 emacs-23.1.94 C:\emacs-bzr\trunk\admin\nt

Even thought I've copied admin/ to emacs-23.1.94?  Okay.  But it still
doesn't work.

    That should do it. You might just have to adjust the directory
    structure to point to your bzr checkout.

Yes.  I've been following the little you and Jason having posted on
emacs-devel.  Keep me posted.

    Let me know if this works, I just did this a couple of days ago and
    can help troubleshoot.

But you also mentioned in another thread something about producing an
empty file, no?  What solved that?  Because running makedist produces
empty bin and barebin zips.

Okay, so then forget about pointing it to the trunk. This should work.

C:\emacs-23.1.94\admin\nt

should be right then.

It produces empty zips when it can't find a file or has another error.

In your earlier emails the error was:

The system cannot find the path specified.
         0 file(s) copied.


This looks like it can't find the README.W32 that it is trying to copy 
to the root directory.

I did the following:

Extracted tarball to D:\emacs-23.1.94

Do you have README.W32 in C:\emacs-23.1.94\admin\nt ?

Does the directory C:\emacs-23.1.94 exist?

Is c:\emacs-23.1.94 the directory where you have emacs checked out from 
bzr? Or is it where you unpacked the pretest tar file?  If the latter, 
it will not have the admin directory.

Yes, on my pc ... ;-)

I have not uploaded my latest versions yet. Only some old versions for
CVS are available. I will upload the new files later today and fix so
that they are easier to find.

Do you know what exactly made it work?

One thing that is mighty confusing is that you cannot run the 
makedist.bat batch file from the admin/nt directory but you have to copy 
it to the directory that contains the directory extracted from the 
tarball, i.e. tarball extracts to C:\emacs-23.1.94, makedist.bat goes 
into C:\. From then on the instructions provided by the batch file make 
sense.

Glad it worked out for you finally.

    Do you know what exactly made it work?

Uh-huh, doing what you do (this is your list):

    Extracted tarball to D:\emacs-23.1.94
    Copied admin from trunk to D;\emacs-23.1.94
    Copied makedist.bat from D:\emacs-23.1.94\admin\nt to D:\
    Ran makedist 23.1.94 emacs-23.1.94 D:\emacs-23.1.94\admin\nt

My drive is `C:\', like you mention below.

    One thing that is mighty confusing is that you cannot run the
    makedist.bat batch file from the admin/nt directory but you have to
    copy it to the directory that contains the directory extracted from
    the tarball, i.e. tarball extracts to C:\emacs-23.1.94, makedist.bat
    goes into C:\. From then on the instructions provided by the batch
    file make sense.

    Glad it worked out for you finally.

But you don't run makedist from the admin/nt either (look at your
list).  It's not confusing at all; thanks for your help.

No, I meant, people can get confused running makedist.bat from admin/nt, 
which I also did initially, and which is obviously wrong. Looking at the 
batch file code I figured out where to run it. My point is, it shouldn't 
be this hard.
