Today I updated 1.7.25. I was a handful of minor releases behind at
the
time.
After the update, I can't start Emacs from the icon anymore. The
shortcut
command I have for it is the following:
C:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/bin bash -l -i -c "emacs -display
127.0.0.1:0.0 --debug-init"
I don't think this has anything to do with emacs. There have been
several reports of problems with run-1.3.0-1. Try downgrading to the
previous version of run, or switch to run2.
I first tried just changing the command line to "run2". No change.
run2 is not a drop-in replacement for run. If you want to use it, you
have to install the run2 package and read the documentation. Or you
could run the script /usr/bin/make-emacs-shortcut, which creates a
shortcut that uses run2.
I already had run2 installed. I ran "make-emacs-shortcut". I moved the
resulting shortcut to the desktop, giving it a new name. I double-clicked
it. Nothing happened. I than created a cmd window and pasted in the command
line from the shortcut and ran it. Nothing. I then pasted in the command
line from the old shortcut, and Emacs came up.
I'd like to find out what went wrong with the shortcut created by
make-emacs-shortcut. What's the target? And what are the contents of
the emacs.xml file that it uses?
Target: C:\Cygwin\bin\run2.exe --display 127.0.0.1:0.0 /usr/local/bin/emacs.xml
/usr/local/bin/emacs.xml:
------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<Run2Config
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="run2.xsd">

<GDI>
<Environment />
<Target filename="/usr/bin/bash.exe" startin="~">

</Environment>
<Target filename="/usr/bin/bash.exe" startin="~">
<Arg>-l</Arg>
<Arg>-c emacs</Arg>
</Target>
</X11>
</Run2Config>
-----------------
This looks right, and it works fine for me on both 32-bit and 64-bit
Cygwin. I don't know why it doesn't work for you. Does 'cygcheck
/usr/bin/run2.exe' show anything unexpected? What about 'run2 --help'
(in a Cygwin bash shell)?
