Hi,
I often painstakingly work on my build of emacs and never look back,
praying to never come back, but then I get some annoyances such as
vfork issues I can't fix. I will go further on this in a different
post.
vfork issues almost always indicate a need to do a full rebase. See
https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures .
Or switch from 32-bit Cygwin to 64-bit Cygwin, where such problems are
extremely rare.
Maybe add a new emacs-lucid package ?
Cygwin's emacs uses GTK+ because that's the default for an emacs build
on all unix-like platforms. But I'll think about adding an
emacs-lucid package for the next emacs release. It would be good to
know how much demand there is for this. Are there other emacs-X11
users who would prefer the Lucid toolkit?
As an avid emacs user I have no desire to switch to emacs-lucid. If the
extra work to provide both packages is limited, it would not hurt to
have both packages though.
just my 2 cc
