Hi,
Leo <leosli...@letterboxes.org> was heard to say:
I try to use emacsclient with Cygwin emacs, but it does not
work. emacsclient returns:
emacsclient: error accessing server file
"/cygdrive/c/home/.emacsdata/server/server"
In my .emacs file of the running emacs instance I have the following lines:
(require 'server)
(setq server-auth-dir "/cygdrive/c/home/.emacsdata/server/")
(server-start)
I use only (server-start) in my .emacs, so emacsclient per see does
work. Apparently it can't cope with your path specification. Does
"~/.emacsdata/server/" work? Does "~/.emacs.d/server/" work? Also, it
seems like the directory must exist on Windows before Emacs starts up,
see this discussion (about halfway down the page):

regards,
Markus
