23.0.50 build problem with Windows

23.0.50 build problem with Windows

[Sridhar Boovaraghavan]

When I try to build (nmake bootstrap) the CVS HEAD version (23.0.50)
downloaded 9/17/2007 afternoon in my Windows XP environment, it
stumbles on the following problem:

-- extract from lib-src/makefile
../src/config.h:	../nt/$(CONFIG_H)
			echo $(CONFIG_H) has changed.  Re-run configure.bat.
			exit -1
--

I configured with "configure.bat --with-msvc --without-xpm". I am
using VC 2002.

The problem is that the config.nt file is created, but the
src/config.h is not replaced during the configure process.

I worked around this by replacing src/config.h and paths.h with
nt/config.nt and paths.h respectively.

Anyone else encounter this?

Thanks,
Sridhar

config.nt is not created by configure.bat, it is checked out of CVS.


Did the configure fail for some reason?

My mistake then - it had a very recent time-stamp that led me to
believe that is being generated.

No, the configure didn't fail. It complained about xpm not being there
in my system and thus I tried --without-xpm and that worked fine.

I don't think this is a problem with the EMACS_22_BASE tag because I
have been able to build it in the past.

Are there any other details that I can provide?
