If you would like to compile Emacs from source, download the source

distribution, unpack it in the same manner as a precompiled
|

distribution, and look in the file nt/INSTALL for detailed directions.
|

Note, though, that you must have a Microsoft compiler to compile the
|

source. (Support for compiling with gcc 2.95 or later will be
|

available in a future release.)
|

You can either use the Microsoft compiler included with Visual C++, or
|
||||
GCC 2.95 or later with MinGW support, to compile the source. The port
|

of GCC included in Cygwin is supported, but check the nt/INSTALL file
|
||||
if you have trouble since some builds of GNU make aren't supported.
