* Emacs setup =nt/INSTALL.w64= provides detailed instructions for compiling Emacs on recent Windows versions. Here are some additional steps I had to figure out on my own: ** Mingw-w64 - Set =$HOME= to =%HOMEPATH%= by changing =db_home= to =windows= in =c:/msys64/etc/fstab=. - In addition to =c:\msys64\mingw64\bin=, adding =c:\msys64\usr\bin= to the system =PATH= allows Emacs to access applications installed with =pacman=. - It's not obvious whether the Mingw-w64 =PATH= entries should go last (in which case Emacs will pick the wrong ~find~ command) or first (in which case… /everything else/ will pick the wrong ~find~ command?). At least Emacs has a variable to configure (~find-program~). ** Emacs *** Compiling Make sure to specify ~-c core.autocrlf=false~ *when cloning* the Emacs repository; ~autogen.sh~ gets confused otherwise. *** Configuring AFAICT one must set the variable ~shell-file-name~ explicitly to =c:/msys64/usr/bin/bash.exe=, otherwise Emacs's Windows-specific initialization logic uses a built-in shell ersatz (=nt/cmdproxy.c=). **** TODO =HOME= Went with the instructions from [[info:emacs#MS-Windows Registry]]; could maybe use [[info:emacs#Windows HOME]] by setting =HOME= to =%HOMEPATH%=, to avoid having to spell out my username?
