Subject: Some comments on the MSYS-based build

Message-ID: <87hahfysx4.fsf@wanadoo.es> (raw)
/nt/INSTALL.MSYS says
"A nice GUI installer, called mingw-get,"
mingw-get has no GUI yet. It is a planned feature. However,
mingw-get-inst (confusing, uh?) is a GUI front-end that invokes
mingw-get for MinGW/MSYS installation. It onlyl supports the most
essential packages, though. The URL for mingw-get-inst is:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-inst/
/nt/INSTALL.MSYS says that mingw-developer-toolkit and msys-automake
should be installed. The mingw-get XML file for mingw-developer-toolkit
says that it includes mingw-automake and the XML file for msys-automake
says:
<paragraph>This msys port of automake has been modified specifically for
the MSYS System Builder (msys-dvlpr) environment; that is, it is
intended to be used only when producing binary packages for the MSYS
subsystem. If you intend to produce executables for the native
"mingw32" subsystem (that is, applications that should work on
Microsoft Windows installations without the MSYS dll), then you should
install the mingw32-automake-*, and/or the mingw32-automake1.NN-*
packages instead.
so it seems that msys-automake is unnecesary.
MSYS has its own top-level configure script (/nt/msysconfig.sh) Shall we
expect from it the same features than from /confgiure.sh? (modulo OS
differences) For instance, /INSTALL mentions
`GZIP_PROG' is the name of the executable that compresses installed info,
manual, and .el files. It defaults to gzip. Setting it to
the empty string suppresses compression.
and my build script has
export GZIP_PROG="" # Do not compress .elc files
if ! ../emacs/nt/msysconfig.sh --prefix $einstall ; then
exit 12
fi
but the build compresses the .el files.
