See below, I marked them with "<<<". > I have tried to build otf, xft and m17n and failed because of > dependencies onX, but maybe there are Win32 ports. They are useless on Windows. Emacs on Windows uses the Uniscribe shaping engine, a standard component of Windows, for complex script display; these libraries provide the equivalent functionality on Unix. > Definitely GIF and ImageMagick are available, but what else? ImageMagick can currently be used only as a statically linked library, since no one made the ImageMagick related code work with dynamic run-time loading. The rest of the optional libraries will all be loaded at run time when they are first used. Note that I marked D-Bus with "<<<<<<" because I heard someone who said it worked for them, but I haven't tried that myself, and I very much doubt it works reliably on Windows, so caveat emptor. > Where should the build process find the source code? ../emacs-24.4 > What compiler should emacs be built with? gcc -std=gnu99 > -Ic:/mingw/local/include > Should Emacs use the GNU version of malloc? yes <<<<<< > Should Emacs use a relocating allocator for buffers? yes <<<<<< > Should Emacs use mmap(2) for buffer allocation? no > What window system should Emacs use? w32 <<<<<< > What toolkit should Emacs use? none > Where do we find X Windows header files?
