Andy Moreton <andrewjmore...@gmail.com> writes: Mingw tools understand Win32 paths. In order to work with POSIX paths, you need to use the MSYS tools that are available from the same site as mingw. Something like this:
# open an MSYS bash shell (usually c:\MinGW\MSYS\1.0\bin\bash.exe) cd bbdb/lisp make --makefile=makefile-temp EMACS=/c/emacs/emacs-24.3/bin/emacs The emacs repo has some instructions on how to setup the tools to build emacs itself using mingw/msys tools (see nt/INSTALL). A much better approach would be to create an emacs ELPA package for bbdbv3, as that would be able to compile and install the lisp and docs without requiring any tools outside a running emacs (even on Windows). HTH, AndyM It has. Thank you for responding to Roland's request. I think I will give ELPA a try finally. Um, I'm not having much luck with MinGW lately, but that's for another list ...
