Subject: bug#19989: 25.0.50; Build instructions on Windows
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2015 08:34:53 -0800

=======================================================

I needed the following changes to build Emacs (when following the
instructions in nt/INSTALL):
  • mingw-get:
	actually, mingw32-base is not installed by default;
        I needed to install it by manually marking it in mingw-get.
  • mingw shell sets path to (essentially) FOO/msys/1.0/mingw/bin (here FOO
        is the install path), but there is no directory
          FOO/msys/1.0/mingw
        what is is
          FOO/bin
    So I needed to make a symbolic link (Windows style required) by
    running
        mklink /j mingw FOO
    in FOO/msys/1.0
