I'm talking only about the MSDOS port. The Windows port has no problems with these file names. It must be possible to build the MSDOS port on plain DOS, because Emacs is one of a couple of GNU programs (another one is Make) that are built first, because without them you have no usable development environment. That is why Emacs on MSDOS is built using a minimal set of tools, although DJGPP has an excellent port of Bash, which could be used to run the configure script. > So, other than c++defs.h, I don't see the need for renaming these > files. Given the responses from Stefan and myself, please reconsider. Again, I'm willing to do the job myself if needed, if you could guide me through the gnulib maze. TIA
