That compilation failed because -I../src is missing from the command
line:

> gcc -I. -c -gdwarf-2 -g3 -mtune=pentium4 -O2 -Demacs=1 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../lib -I../nt/inc -DHAVE_NTGUI=1 -DUSE_CRT_DLL=1 -DPURESIZE=5000000 -DPURESIZE=5000000 -o oo-spd/i386/make-docfile.o make-docfile.c

I have no idea why that happened; lib-src/makefile definitely includes
"-I../src" through the LOCAL_FLAGS variable.  Could it be that you
somehow set LOCAL_FLAGS in the environment?

In general, the compilation should never leave anything in the
environment, so I don't think your explanation is quite right.

Also, there's no need to "make bootstrap" twice; once you ran
bootstrap once, the subsequent builds should be doe with just "make"
in the nt/ subdirectory.

Do you have a sh.exe somewhere on PATH?  Or do you have SHELL in your
environment set to something other than cmd.exe?  Otherwise, there
should be no need to set SHELL.

Not that all this matters, now that you've succeeded to build.

The only thing that does matter is that you've compiled with
optimizations (which is the default), which will make it hard to
examine the code under the debugger.  So I suggest to reconfigure and
rebuild without optimizations, like this:

  cd nt
  configure --no-opt --enable-checking
  make

You will then have an unoptimized emacs.exe in src/oo/i386/emacs.exe.
If you want it in bin/, say "make install" after the last "make".  The
old optimized build will still be available in src/oo-spd/i386.

Sorry, I should have mentioned this to begin with.

And thanks for working on this.
