I have a configure script that runs configure.bat and then a Perl script to take the addpm.exe line from my makefile. Reason? Running (nmake install) 2>&1 | tee boot.log often hangs exactly at the addpm call. > In my opinion Emacs > should be run as a server on w32 and that icon starts a standalone Emacs > without any server capabilities.

BTW, I've seen you distribute a binary Emacs for W32, and I've seen a README that says: The image libraries can be fetched from gnuwin32.org. Below is a list of the needed dll-files and where you can find them: [...] The image libraries dll-files are included in the Emacs bin directory. It is OK to distribute binary builds of the image libraries and not to distribute directly the sources in your webpage? --=20 /L/e/k/t/u
