Re: [h-e-w] Building 21.1 using cygwin

[Robert Praetorius]

     I was able to build 2.0.103 under MinGW without changes (to my 
recollection) using the version of gmake.exe found at

        ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/source/wintools.zip

I forget where I found this handy tip and Google hasn't provided any 
reminders.  Anyway, I think it has to do with Mozilla's gmake handling 
filespecs (:, / and \, probably) and line endings differing from the 
Cygwin version of gmake.

     Oh yeah - and this version (

"GNU Emacs 21.0.103.1 (i386-mingw-nt4.0.1381) of 2001-05-30 on JULIET"

) seems to work better in every way than the 19.34.5 I run day to day, 
except for some glitchiness in doing (set-face-attribute ... :font ...) 
with font-lock and non-iso8859-1 fonts (I like the raster-terminal font 
for some syntax classes).
