* Supported development environments
- To compile Emacs, you will need either Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 or
- later and nmake, or a Windows port of GCC 2.95 or later with MinGW
- and W32 API support and a port of GNU Make. You can use the Cygwin
- ports of GCC, but Emacs requires the MinGW headers and libraries to
- build (latest versions of the Cygwin toolkit, at least since v1.3.3,
- include the MinGW headers and libraries as an integral part).
-
- Note that building Emacs with Visual Studio 2005 is not supported at
- this time.
