Subject: bug#22959: Emacs on Windows depends on libwinpthreads
Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2016 14:52:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87egbj4sbh.fsf@russet.org.uk> (raw)
Currently, building Emacs under msys2/ming-w64 produces a binary that
depends on libwinpthread.dll. The practical upshot of this is that after
building and installing Emacs according to the instructions, Emacs
cannot be launched from the Windows explorer -- it can be run from msys2
which has the path set up correctly. A binary release will, therefore, fail.
Using the dependency walker shows the dependency is directly from Emacs,
and it appears to have come from a change in ming-w64, as reported here.

This affects emacs-25, master and, indeed, emacs-24 built using the
current tool chain.
