I wonder if anyone can offer a suggestion as to what is going wrong here?
I'm currently setting up my DJGPP environment on a brand new machine and
everything has gone fine except for emacs. For some reason it is refusing to
find it's init-file.
On this new machine it would appear that emacs is confused about where my
home directory is. For example, evaluating:
(expand-file-name user-init-file)
results in:
"C:/~DAVEP/_emacs"
if I'm in the root of drive C. It would also appear that emacs thinks it
should find the init-file in:
"<CurrentLocation>/~DAVEP/_emacs"
On my existing machine this is never a problem, emacs always thinks that my
init-file is:
"$HOME/_emacs"
The only (obvious) difference between these two machines is that my existing
machine is Win95 OSR1 and the new one is Win95 OSR2. On both machines I set
HOME in AUTOEXEC.BAT ("C:\dave" on my old machine, "C:\Home\davep" on my new
machine), LOGUSER is set to "DAVEP" and in both cases USER in DJGPP.ENV is
set to "DAVEP".
[emacs]
INFOPATH=%/>;INFOPATH%%DJDIR%/info;%DJDIR%/gnu/emacs/info
TERM=
SHELL=c:/djgpp/bin/bash
SUSPEND=c:/4dos/4dos.com
The emacs version is 20.2, built from source.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or pointers you can provide.
