Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Is there a cygwin emacs HOWTO? If so, I'd appreciate a pointer. Use case: I download/setup cygwin 1.3.13-1, and download/setup emacs 21.2. I run bash, and (from ~) > $ emacs > emacs: Terminal type cygwin is not defined. > If that is not the actual type of terminal you have, > use the Bourne shell command `TERM=... export TERM' (C-shell: > `setenv TERM ...') to specify the correct type. It may be necessary > to do `unset TERMINFO' (C-shell: `unsetenv TERMINFO') as well. I get the same message for 'emacs -nw'? What do I need to tell emacs? or cygwin? or both? FWIW, I've been running cygwin ~daily for about a year (since 1.3.9), and running GNU emacsen for almost ten years (on various platforms, lately mostly w2k) (never ran xemacs). I was thrilled to hear today that there was a cygwin emacs, but I'll be a lot more thrilled if I can get it to work :-) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
