Has anyone else encountered this issue running Emacs lately and found resolution?
For me, Emacs will not start an editing session. After typing “emacs” at the command prompt, there is a brief pause while I remain at the bash shell, and Instead I remain in the bash shell, and after you see a pause after typing “emacs” at the command prompt, and then you see a new command prompt. *** TERMINAL START *** $ cygcheck.exe -s -v -r > cygcheck.out $ emacs -version GNU Emacs 24.5.1 [snip] $ emacs [brief pause – terminal remains at bash prompt – as if executing a no-output process] $ *** TERMINAL END *** I attached a slightly redacted cygcheck.out. Observation: This behavior repeats itself no matter which of the available emacs versions I have installed. (24.5-1, 24.5-2, 24.5-3). Observation: Emacs reports version 24.5.1 from the command line no matter which version was installed. For example, if I install 24.5-2, $emacs -version reports 24.5.1. The Cygwin installer subsequently reports 24.5-2. Observation: The problem started occurring when I upgraded an existing installation (I do not recall which) to 2.874 / 2.5.2. (I realize that this has likely more to with app lication packaging.) What did I do to try and resolve? I have tried several things. 1 – uninstall CYGWIN completely using the guide in the FAQ. 2 – reinstall CYGWIN after a reboot. 3 – change mirrors. 4. Uninstall emacs. 5. Reinstall emacs after a reboot. 6. Read the emacs cygwin README in /usr/share/doc/emacs 7. Google till my fingers bled. 8. Search Cygwin mailing list archives (for multiple lists). Did not find a similar problem. (I did see a someone having issues when tyring to create a windows shortcut..... ) 9. Search the sider internet for similar problems and solutions. Again, no luck. 10. Curse like a sailor. Anybody else have this problem and resolved? Thanks a ton, Brian
