| Subject: | [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: emacs-24.3.93-3 [TEST] |
| X-IsSubscribed: | yes |
The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution as
test releases:
*** emacs-24.3.93-3
*** emacs-X11-24.3.93-3
*** emacs-w32-24.3.93-3
*** emacs-el-24.3.93-3
Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text
editor. Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting
language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news, and more
without leaving the editor.
This is a pretest of the upcoming emacs-24.4, patched to make emacs use
Cygwin's malloc instead of the one provided by emacs. See
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=18222
for details.
This patch has been applied upstream in the emacs development trunk but
not in the emacs-24 branch, so it will not be included in the official
release of emacs-24.4. Nevertheless, I would like to include it in the
emacs-24.4 package for Cygwin if it gets enough testing to convince me
that it's reliable. Emacs users are strongly encouraged to test it and
report any problems.
CYGWIN NOTES
============
1. The emacs, emacs-w32, and emacs-X11 packages each provide an emacs
binary. These are emacs-nox.exe, emacs-w32.exe, and emacs-X11.exe,
respectively, in order of increasing priority. The postinstall scripts
use the `alternatives' system to create a symlink /usr/bin/emacs that
resolves to the highest-priority binary that you have installed. Thus
the command `emacs' will start emacs-X11.exe if you've installed the
emacs-X11 package; otherwise, it will start emacs-w32.exe if you've
installed emacs-w32; otherwise, it will start emacs-nox.exe. Similar
remarks apply to emacsclient.
If you have installed both emacs-w32 and emacs-X11 and prefer to give
higher priority to emacs-w32, run the script
/usr/bin/set-emacs-default-w32.sh
You can later restore emacs-X11 as the default by running
/usr/bin/set-emacs-default-X11.sh
2. Install emacs-X11 if you want to use the X11 GUI. You can then type
`emacs&' in an xterm window, and emacs will start in a new window.
3. Install emacs-w32 if you want to use the native Windows GUI instead
of X11.
4. If you have sshd running and want to be able to run emacs-X11 from a
remote machine, you need to enable X11 forwarding by adding the
following line to /etc/sshd_config:
X11Forwarding yes
You might also need to have the cygserver service running.
5. The script /usr/bin/make-emacs-shortcut can be used to create a
shortcut for starting emacs. See /usr/share/doc/emacs/README.Cygwin for
details.
