I think the instructions for downloading the compiler is a bit hard to
find on http://mingw.org/. Maybe the instructions on this page are
those to recommend:
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Install_the_MinGW_GCC_Compiler_Suite
That page says there is an installer which they recommend for a
beginner. Has anyone tried that?
On Getting_Started, it says the automated installer has been deprecated
and to use the manual installation instructions on the page.
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started was what I used to install
MinGW. (And for goodness sakes, I can follow it ...)
The how to that Lennart mentions is referred to at the top of
Getting_Started as `advanced installation instructions'.
Ok, I will describe my actions by steps:
1. emacs src from CVS is ready.
Huh? I'd score a copy of GNU Emacs via Bazaar. In fact that's what
I've done, installed Bazaar on Windows and did
bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk
5. download coreutils-5.3.0.exe from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html install it to
C:\GnuWin32\
Why not MSYS from MinGW?
