Emacs for Windows NT and Windows 95 This directory contains support for compiling and running GNU Emacs on Windows NT and Windows 95. This port supports all of the major functionality of the Unix version, including subprocesses, windowing features (fonts, colors, scroll bars, multiple frames, etc.), and networking support. Precompiled distributions are also available; ftp to ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/latest for the latest precompiled distributions. * Preliminaries To compile Emacs, you will need either Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 or later, or a Windows port of GCC 2.95 or later with Mingw and W32 API support and a port of GNU make. You can use the Cygwin ports of GCC, but Emacs requires the Mingw headers and libraries to build. * Building and installing See the INSTALL file in this directory for detailed instructions on building and installing Emacs on your system. * Further information If you have access to the World Wide Web, I would recommend pointing your favorite web browser to the document (if you haven't already): http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html This web document serves as a FAQ and a source for further information about the port and related software packages. There is also a mailing list for discussing issues related to this port of Emacs. For information about the list, send a message to ntemacs-users-request@cs.washington.edu with the word "info" in the *body* of the message. To subscribe to the list, send a message to the same address with the word "subscribe" in the body of the message; similarly, to unsubscribe from the list, send a message with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body. You are also always welcome to send me mail directly. If you don't hear from me immediately, however, don't worry; it sometimes takes me a few days (or longer) to get to all of my mail regarding Emacs. * Reporting bugs If you encounter bugs in this port of Emacs, first check the FAQ on the web page above to see if the bug is already known and if there are any workarounds. If not, then I would like to hear about it; either send a bug report to the mailing list, or to me directly (I would recommend sending to the list first). Enjoy. -geoff (voelker@cs.washington.edu)
