The files specific to building on and for Windows port are in admin/nt/dist-build within the source tree. The NSIS installer is emacs.nsi in that folder. I would be happy to look at any patches. I have lots and lots of rather so-so code relating to making these builds, most of which I don't use when preparing release builds which I do rather manually. In any case, my local snapot "CI" build programs are here: https://git.sr.ht/~mplscorwin/emacs-local-ci Let me know how I can help most, and thanks for your interest in improving things. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Hi Corwin, thank you for showing me the files I've tried building only the installer using "build-zips.sh -i" but i'm getting an error "Error while loading icon from "emacs-30.0.50\share\emacs\30.0.50\etc\images\icons\hicolor\scalable\a pps\emacs.ico": can't open file" can you tell me Where the share folder should be? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I think I found the error, it's because build-zips.sh was executing in "C:\", i'm planning to add images/banners for the installer because the default is stretched and other stuff, i'm not sure if I should send the patch in this thread or create another. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Once you have a patch ready to send please use the `report-emacs-bug' command and attach your patch, which will open a new bug report for us to discuss these "beautification" changes (which will be much appreciated). I'm not sure it matters a great deal in the case of these few files, but we most often work in terms of separate bugs for specific finite changes, while using this list to discuss what bugs to open and otherwise align on approaches to take when the given subject may lead to more sweeping change, as best I understand regarding Emacs development more generally. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
