Subject: Hassle I had to work around when compiling 24.4 on Windows
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2014 11:08:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f35f8e969fd096710f8a15bd4902cd67@jfwest.com> (raw)
I keep Emacs up to date on both GNU/Linux and Windows machines.
Installing the GNU/Linux from source was trivial, as would be expected.
However, compiling the Windows version from source gave me the following
error (at end of email). To work around this quite annoying error, I had
to manually edit malloc.h in MinGW/include and have it forcibly define
alloca and _alloca as __builtin_alloca. When I do this, things all
compile fine and I have a brand-spanking new Emacs 24.4 on my Windows
machine that runs as well as my 24.3 build from last year.
My point: It really, REALLY doesn't feel nice to edit malloc.h!
My question: What am I doing wrong that requires me to do this? And if
this is required, shouldn't a pointer to doing this be in the INSTALL
file in the nt subdirectory?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Joel
