Do I need to get emx? If you want to build with makeemx.bat, then yes. But I doubt that you really want that, since EMX produces DOS programs, not Windows programs, which will limit you in several subtle ways, since interaction between Emacs and DOS subprograms has drawbacks (for example, only one DOS subprocess can be active at any given time). > should I try to get djgpp? Not recommended, for the same reason. It's much better to get a precompiled Windows binary of Ispell. Here's one place: http://www.luziusschneider.com/Speller/English/
