Bump. Wondering if anyone on this list can please help with this and has
ever gotten the Windows build to work? Otherwise, are there any other
MiKTeX "developer" mailing lists for which this question would be
suitable? Should I retry everything from scratch (i.e. extract and set up
the MiKTeX source and dependencies again according to my best guess and
retry the build) and post what I did and the precise error that I get?
Thanks in advance.
