[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

I tried to compile emacs 24.2 on Windows 7 with Visual C++ 11.0 Express,
and I found that EnumSystemLocales in w32proc.c and w32select.c were
compiled as is (not as __stdcall function with postfix decorations), which
causes the linking failure.

I read through the sources and found that config.h defined _WIN32_WINNT as
0x0400, which corresponds to Windows NT4. However MSDN says that
EnumSystemLocales requires at least Windows 2000 (0x0500). So you should
probably either require a higher Windows version or use some other
mechanism to accomplish what EnumSystemLocales does.

Regards,
Li Ding
