Re: MinGW build on master fails with Error 127

[Loreno Heer <helohe@bluewin.ch>]

I got it to build by manually setting

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0601

in the emacs config.h file.
Not sure why but this variable seems to have the (wrong) value of 0x0603
on my system (Windows 7 ESR). I don't know if this is a variable that
emacs build defines somewhere or the msys build system.
