PURPOSE

For years I have searched the Internet for the 64-bit GNU Emacs binary distribution for MS-Windows. Indeed there do have 64-Bit Emacs for MS-Windows, but I don’t like them. Most of them are modified, outdated, or just part of some big system. So I try to compile a up-to-date native 64-bit GNU Emacs from source. Now what you see is my work.

Note that now there are official 64-bit versions for MS-Windows on the GNU FTP (they are named as emacs-25.2-x86_64.zip or emacs-25.1-x86_64-w64-mingw32.zip). Don’t forget the dependency DLLs (for example emacs-25-x86_64-deps.zip).

FEATURE
