Failed Compilation on Windows 7 64-bit

Failed Compilation on Windows 7 64-bit

[Sridhar Boovaraghavan]

Hi,

This might not be 64-bit related, however the OS is Windows 7 64-bit.

All the other tools (MingW, cygwin, GnuWin32) all seem to be 32-bit
(and recently fetched).

The emacs code has been fetched recently from the CVS trunk.

I configure it like:

C:\emacs\nt>configure.bat --with-gcc --no-cygwin --without-xpm --with-svg --cfla
gs -Ic:\GnuWin32\include

Upon a make bootstrap, it builds temacs, emacs and then finishes
compiling all the lisp files.

Then it fails with the following:

C:\emacs\nt>make
[Please ignore a syntax error on the next line - it is intentional]
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Something similar happened to me some months ago. In that case the
problem was caused by GnuWin32 header files with the same names as
Emacs' own header files. IIRC, one of those header files is regex.h

The solution is to either remove the conflicting header files from
GnuWin32 Include directory or, better, configure Emacs with

-isystemc:\GnuWin32\include

instead of

-Ic:\GnuWin32\include

This way gcc will put c:\GnuWin32\include at the end of the search
sequence used for searching header files.

Thank you - marking the GnuWin32 headers as a system include solved
the problem.

Can it be automated on our side?

If you really meant this, note that Emacs has switched to Bazaar, and
the CVS repository is no longer being updated.
