bug#45303: #45303 [feature/native-comp] building error on Windows

[edouard debry]

I was able to compile and install.

However, I cannot launch emacs outside of mingw64.

I installed emacs-nativecomp outside of mingw64 in order not to mess with the mingw emacs package.

I copied libgmp*dll in the installdir/bin and added the absolute path of "/mingw64/bin" to the emacs exec-path.

Outside of mingw64, If I just click on bin/emacs.exe I get a console message :

Warning: arch-dependent data dir '%emacs_dir%/libexec/emacs/28.0.50/x86_64-w64-mingw32/': No such file or directory

and an emacs abort dialog.

If I launch emacs on the command line from within a mingw64 shell, it runs well. But it is not desirable because window

environment variables like %VAR% are not expanded correctly.

I can launch the mingw64 emacs package from outside mingw without this problem.

So, most probably, I must have missed something during the install.

Do you also have this issue ?

Regards
