The changes to support this break doing an out of tree build using
MSYS/MinGW.
I have been trying to build from bzr r114764, with the source tree at
"c:\emacs\src\emacs\trunk", and building in an "obj-mingw32" subdir.
Building in "obj-mingw32/lib" fails because CPP and CPPFLAGS still have
"-I ../nt/inc", which should either be "-I ../../nt/inc" (relative to
"obj-mingw32") or be absolute.
My attempts to patch configure.ac to fix this resulted in a configure
script which complained about missing ACl libraries (which is normally
handled by trunk/nt/mingw-config.site).
As I am inexpert in autotools, I instead tried to work around this by
adding the absolute path to "trunk/nt/inc" to CPPFLAGS on the configure
command line (generated from unmodified configure.ac). This got further,
but failed building lisp:
------------------------------------------------------------------
cd ../lisp; /usr/bin/make -w update-subdirs
make[2]: Entering directory `/c/emacs/src/emacs/trunk/obj-mingw32/lisp'
cd ../../lisp; subdirs=`find . -type d -print`; for file in $subdirs; do case
$file in */.* | */.*/* | */=* | */cedet* ) ;; *) wins="$wins${wins:+ }$file" ;;
esac; done; \
for file in $wins; do \
../../build-aux/update-subdirs $file; \
done;
/bin/sh: line 2: ../../build-aux/update-subdirs: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: line 2: ../../build-aux/update-subdirs: No such file or directory
------------------------------------------------------------------
The for loop runs from trunk/lisp, so the path to trunk/build-aux is wrong.
In addition, this use of find and a for loop does not look correct for
directory paths with spaces.
Let me know if you need any help with testing, build logs etc.
