Here is a script to build auctex using Windows Linux Subsystem and
preinstalled MikTeX and emacs in some custom directory (windows version)
#!/bin/sh
MYEMACSDIR=/mnt/c/ProgramData/emax64
PATH=$EMACSDIR/bin:$PATH
if [ ! -f Makefile ]; then
# ./autogen.sh
# Ghostcript shipped with MikTeX
LATEX=`which latex.exe`
PDFLATEX=`which pdflatex.exe`
TEX=`which tex.exe`
TEXMF=` kpsewhich.exe --expand-var '$TEXMF' | sed 's/{\([^,]*\),.*/\1/'`
GS=mgs.exe
export GS
export TEX
export LATEX
export PDFLATEX
./configure --with-emacs=emacs.exe \
--with-lispdir=$EMACSDIR/share/emacs/site-lisp \
--without-texmf-dir
exit
fi
make clean
# This will fail
make
# This retries and works
make
