Somebody working on make.bat /make-x.bat?

Somebody working on make.bat /make-x.bat?

[Frank Schmitt]

Hi

Just wanted to hear if there's anybody out there who's just working on
make.bat / make-x.bat.

If this isn't the case, I'd like to redo the "install Gnus under
Windows" stuff from scratch since

1) It's bad that there are two different files to keep up-to-date, one
   generic file would be better
2) Neither make.bat nor make-x.bat generate info files for PGG and
   Sieve but they trie to copy them to Emacs info dir
3) Neither make.bat nor make-x.bat install the Smilies and Tool-Bar
   buttons
4) make.bat assumes that makeinfo is installed and doesn't fall back to
   infohack.el, make-x.bat uses infohack.el and doesn't use makeinfo
   even if it is available

If there are more problems with the current solution, please let me
know.

MFG Frank

AFAIK emacs doesn't support images in Windows, so it wouldn't
make much sense to install these anyway.

Nice to see that someone cares about Windows users, btw.

The next release will, so it can't hurt to already implement it, XEmacs
does support images already however.

make.bat does not create lisp/gnus-load.el

i added the following lines right after the compile phase, but i am
not sure about the '.' for '$(srcdir)'.

,----[ make.bat ]--
| %EMACSBATCH% -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-compile
| %EMACSBATCH% -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-make-cus-load .
| %EMACSBATCH% -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-make-auto-load .
| %EMACSBATCH% -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-make-load
`----

EMACSBATCH contains '-batch -q', which seems to be redundant:

,----[ info Emacs ]--
| `--batch'
|      [...]
|      `-batch' implies `-q' (do not load an init file).  It also causes
|      Emacs to kill itself after all command options have been
|      processed.  In addition, auto-saving is not done except in buffers
|      for which it has been explicitly requested.

OK, I'll have a look at those, too.
