Exit the MSYS2 BASH +console and run mingw64_shell.bat in the C:\msys64 folder, then cd back to +your Emacs source directory, e.g.: + + cd /c/emacs/emacs-25 + +** Run autogen + +If you are building the development sources, run autogen to generate the +configure script (note: this step is not necessary if you are using a +release source tarball, as the configure file is included): + + ./autogen.sh + +** Run configure + +Now you can run configure, which will build the various Makefiles -- note +that the example given here is just a simple one - for more information +on the options available please see the INSTALL file in this directory. + +The '--prefix' option specifies a location for the resulting binary files, +which 'make install' will use - in this example we set it to C:\emacs\emacs-25. +If a prefix is not specified the files will be put in the standard Unix +directories located in your C:\msys64 directory, but this is not recommended. + +Note also that we need to disable Imagemagick because Emacs does not yet +support it on Windows. + + PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig \ + ./configure --prefix=/c/emacs/emacs-25 --without-imagemagick + +** Run make + +This will compile Emacs and build the executables, putting them in the src +directory: + + make + +To speed up the process, you can try running + + make -jN + +where N is the number of cores in your system -- if your MSYS2 make supports +parallel execution it will run significantly faster. + +** Run make install + +Now you can run "make install", which will copy the executable and +other files to the location specified in the configure step. This will +create the bin, libexec, share, and var directories: + + make install + +You can also say + + make install prefix=/c/somewhere + +to install them somewhere else. + +* Test Emacs + +To test it out, run + + ./bin/runemacs.exe -Q + +and if all went well, you will have a new 64-bit version of Emacs. + +* Make a shortcut + +To make a shortcut to run the new Emacs, right click on the location where you +want to put it, e.g. the Desktop, select New / Shortcut, then select +runemacs.exe in the bin folder of the new Emacs, and give it a name. + +You can set any command line options by right clicking on the resulting +shortcut, select Properties, then add any options to the Target command, +e.g. --debug-init. + +* Credits + +Thanks to Chris Zheng for the original build outline as used by the +emacsbinw64 project, located at: + + https://sourceforge.net/p/emacsbinw64/wiki/Build%20guideline%20for%20MSYS2-MinGW-w64%20system/ + +* License + +This file is part of GNU Emacs. + +GNU Emacs is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. + +GNU Emacs is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
