That work isn't over yet AFAIK, nobody has yet a fully functional and bug-free Emacs compiled under v2.0. (Some of the nastiest problems are in the v2.0 library, you won't be able to build a working Emacs at all with beta4.) I'd advise you to wait for the next v2.0 beta or the final release, and try to compile Emacs only then. > Before you get out the flamethrowers, I tried EMACS 19.29 under 1.12 maint 4, > and the cursor was always getting into the wrong place (very annoying, that), > so for now I would like to stick with 19.28. The latest version of Emacs is 19.30, and it was already compiled in DJGPP 1.12m4. You can get it at this URL: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/contrib/emx1930*.zip That compiled binary has many DOS-specific improvements and bugfixes. If you absolutely need to recompile it yourself, get the source archives from the above URL, it should compile under DJGPP v1.12 without any problems.
