working environment between 4 or so computers running a couple of
different flavors of Unix and Windows XP and I would have a hard time
getting along without it.</p>Building Emacs and Unison on Windows XPhttps://tkurtbond.github.io/posts/2005/02/16/2005-02-16/2005-02-16T00:00:00-05:002005-02-16T00:00:00-05:00T. Kurt Bond<section id="building-emacs-on-windows-xp">
<h2>Building Emacs on Windows XP</h2>
<p>Results from a superficial exercise with very limited use or testing:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Use the instructions in <cite>.../nt/INSTALL</cite>.</p></li>
<li><p>Compiling release 21.4 with gcc and -no-cygwin completed, but
produced an emacs.exe that died with an error when run, except when
run under gdb, in which case no error was observed.</p></li>
<li><p>Compiling release 21.4 with Visual C completed and produced an
emacs.exe that ran without error.</p></li>
<li><p>Compiling a version obtained from <a class="reference external" href="http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs">Emacs CVS</a> with the current
versions of MingW and MSYS completed and produced an emacs.exe that
ran without error.</p></li>

<h2>Building Unison 2.10.2 with GTK+ v2 on Windows XP</h2>
<p>Short form: build ocaml mingw version using cygwin tools with -mno-
cygwin, get gtk2 development environment from the <a class="reference external" href="http://gaim.sourceforge.net/win32/build.php">Win32 GAIM</a> folks, patch so ptty
handling is same as sun (die at runtime), use with MSYS ssh.</p>
