Re: emacs-w3m doesn't create Makefile (using Windows 10 64-Bit with Cygwin64)

Thanks for making the updates again.

It is just a tiny step from getting it accomplished. I ran the commands (install-info) in the elevated console but there are error messages that install-info cannot find the directories / files. Here are the outputs:

Thank you for testing it. I've installed Emacs 24.5 Windows
binary for the further improvement after all. Could you try
the latest CVS? aclocal.m4 is unchanged, so you don't have to
run autoconf again. I verified it's almost ok except for
a little glitch (info/dir). I did:

Launch Cygwin's xterm with the administrative permission:
$ cygstart --action="" xterm
(I need it to run `make install' on "c:/Program Files/".)

Prepend "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/GNU Emacs 24.5/bin" to PATH,
and do the usual `configure', `make', and `make install'.

Surprisingly some Cygwin commands understand Windows path name;
I mean

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 w3m.elc\
"c:/Program Files/GNU Emacs 24.5/share/emacs/site-lisp/w3m/w3m.elc"

works! However, the `install-info.exe' command doesn't do so,
so I needed to do the following after performing `make install':

$ install-info "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/GNU Emacs 24.5/share/info/emacs-w3m.info"
$ install-info "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/GNU Emacs 24.5/share/info/emacs-w3m-ja.info"
(These commands update the info/dir file so that I can see those
info documents using `M-x info'.)

I also installed APEL[1] and FLIM[2] for Windows Emacs, and
verified emacs-w3m builds the shimbun libraries successfully.
