Hello,
I am attempting to use the cygwin version of emacs and emacsclient,
however I am running into an issue. The scenario that I am attempting
is as follows:
1. Launching emacs from mintty (both of which were installed from the
cygwin installer).
2. A simple init.el inside the .emacs.d directory that looks like this
(http://pastie.org/1590067).
3. Background emacs with C-z
4. Launch emacsclient somefile.txt to edit the file.
When I perform step 4, the command prompt doesn't appear to invoke
emacsclient, the display does not change, and I do not see the file I am
attempting to view. I have to issue a C-c to break the prompt back to
normal user input.
Version Information:
mintty: 0.9.5
emacs: 23.2.1
emacsclient: 23.2
Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the cause of this
behavior? Should this in fact work? Any suggestions would be
appreciated. Thanks.
I don't see anything in the emacsclient documentation that suggest that
the emacs server should continue to run after being suspended with C-z.
Here are two alternatives that do seem to work (but see the
documentation for much more information):
1. Start emacs (and the emacs server) in one mintty window and run
emacsclient in another.
2. Start emacs with the --daemon option.
