Question about configure.bat

Question about configure.bat

[Eric Lilja]

Hi, I just performed a checkout from the 22.1-branch. When I ran 
configure.bat I didn't specify --no-cygwin, I just specified --no-debug 
   and --with-gcc.

However, I noticed that configure.bat still uses -mno-cygwin when 
testing for image support..why? I was hoping on building a windows 
version dependent on cygwin1.dll with image support for better looking 
toolbars without having to install the mingw tools and its image 
libraries (I only have latest mingw32-make installed now). I tried the 
offical windows emacs 22.1 binary but it had ugly toolbars too.

FWIK, you need to use configure shell script in a bash shell to get a
cygwin build. It is similar to a UNIX build. I am not sure if you can
mix MinGW and CYGWIN binaries, not sure though. Just to experiment,
try with the following options to force the usage of CYGWIN (it might
conflict with the -mno-cygwin, I do not have the environment to test
it myself):
cmd>configure.bat --with-gcc --no-debug --cflags -mcygwin

You can't use configure.bat for building a Cygwin Emacs: configure.bat
supports only the native Windows builds which use the native Windows
GUI toolkit.

To get a Cygwin build, use the configure shell script in the top-level
directory, like you would on Unix and GNU systems.
