After bringing everything up-to-date in Cygwin (Windows Server 2003),
emacs won't run. I give the command, it thinks for half a second, and
then gives me the command prompt.
I'm also noticing different behavior from readline in a Perl script.
I'm using mintty, which got upgraded in the process.
If there's a system log somewhere, I don't know where it is, to look for
error messages.
Could anyone suggest a next step?
After starting emacs, type 'echo $?' at the shell prompt. If you get '53'
(Cygwin's equivalent to '42' ;-) ), then you're missing a DLL emacs needs.
Run 'cygcheck emacs' to find out which one and then install (or reinstall)
the package containing that DLL.
