Re: Compiling emacs 22.1 from source

According to Taras D on 1/29/2008 9:14 PM:
| ./configure: line 12: $'\r': command not found
You probably unpacked a tarball with a windows zip utility that
"helpfully" changes the line endings on files. Don't do that. Use cygwin
tools to unzip the tarball (and this topic has been in the list archives
as well). You may also be interested in re-reading the bash release
announcement for a way to make bash ignore \r in files:

| I tried this, but now get the error:

| configure_dos_format: error: cannot run /bin/sh
| /emacs_downloaded/emacs-22.1/config.sub
You have more than one afflicted file.
By the way, any reason you're trying to compile emacs rather than using it
pre-built? You may also want to download the source that accompanies the
pre-built version, since it comes with a script that takes care of all the
unpacking and compilation for you (in fact, it was that script that the
maintainer uses to compile the pre-built version in the cygwin distribution).
