Re: bash under emacs gives "cannot set terminal process group"

[Leo]

Hi Ken, hi all

Thanks for your suggestion! So here more details:

(A) How to reproduce:

(1)Start emacs as
    emacs -Q.

(2)Execute the following lisp code in the scratch buffer:
    (progn
      (setq explicit-bash-args '("--noediting" "-i"))
      (setq shell-file-name "bash")
      (setenv "SHELL" "bash"))

(3) Invoke a shell via M-x shell and you get:

        bash: no job control in this shell
        $

(B) My environment:
I'm running emacs with the following version string:
   GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-02-05 on MARVIN

Cygwin cygcheck output attached.

How can I fix this?

Many, many thanks for any pointers, Leo

bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device > I upgraded my Cygwin installation to Cygwin dll 1.7.11-1. Since then when I start Cygwin bash under emacs i get the following error message: > bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device > And indeed, I can't stop subprocesses in this shell, which is very inconvenient. > BTW, I invoke bash in emacs with the arguments "--noediting -i". Both are needed.
