It starts, although doesn't work well. The keyboard bindings are weird
for a
start (e.g. C-x C-c gives in fact C-x C-g, which forces you to exit
with M-x
kill-emacs).
I'm sure this was discussed already.
You need to have 'tty' in your CYGWIN environment variable in order to
prevent this from happening. But even then, you'll find that many
keystrokes don't work as expected. If you want to run emacs in a
terminal (rather than under X), you'll get much better results with
mintty or rxvt.
But none of this addresses the OP's original problem:
emacs: Terminal type cygwin is not defined.
My guess is that this is a terminfo issue. Try installing the terminfo0
package.
Chuck, the ancient-but-still-current emacs requires libncurses7; the
latter requires terminfo, but I think it should require terminfo0 instead.
