But I still think it would be good to show how to setup at least one such environment -- also for the benefit of having an environment which works _with_ emacs once it is running (e.g. having "compatible" diff, grep, and find programs.) > Lennart's site (cited in nt/INSTALL) has detailed instructions on > where to find auxiliary tools and libraries that are not part of the > development environment (i.e. compiler, linker, etc.). That is good. Perhaps we could move that link to the place where you specify that "you need a working development environment". > If people who routinely build Emacs would list here where they get the > basic and auxiliary tools and libraries, I might find time to add a > list to nt/INSTALL that would summarize everybody's experience and > suggestions.
