w32-shell-execute function definition is void

[Mark Fisher]

i cannot seem to be able to use/find w32-shell-execute.
i'm using emacs v21.3.50.1, but it was the same under a
previous version (v21.2.13).

i've tried moving my .emacs and starting up clean, but it
is just always comes back with the function definition
being void if i try to excecute anything that uses this
function. Typing "M-x w32" and hitting tab comes back
empty (No match).

i tried compiling the source version of 21.3.50.2 but i
get the errors mentioned elsewhere with bootstrap-emacs
causing a segmentation fault after altering the souce
for the emacs/d_ino issue against cygwin 1.5.19-4,
but browsing the source i can see the w32-shell-execute
method is in the source, but i just don't seem to be able
to ever get it to be recognised.

I mostly use emacs-X11, but i've just tested it with the non
x11 binary distribution from installing with setup.exe and that
has the same problem.

can anyone help me understand why this fails?
is there something i'm missing about the cywin build of emacs?

thanks,
mark

here here! i'd like to add that i'm getting fed up of reading sarcastic

this particular gem:


I assumed the compiled program would work in a bash

worry about why that is. I miss unix.


Yeah, things work a lot better in a dos shell on unix.

( http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-07/msg00682.html )

the sole comment to an entire post sums up for me a very
arrogant attitude towards people with less knowledge who
need help.

this forum (i hope) was never meant as a personal sarcasm
area and to read it it's very annoying.

if you don't have something constructive to say, lay off laying
into people.

just for completion on the mailing list and in case anyone else has a
similar issue with complex numbers, i found using the c9x-complex math
package was needed to compile
your program. i got the source from http://www.netlib.org/cephes/

you need to amend the makefile slightly by adding "stubs.o" to the
LIBMCFILES definition if you're not using the rest of cephes, i.e. change it to

LIBMCFILES = $(SFILES) $(DFILES) $(LFILES) stubs.o

run "make", ignore the errors for the apps that don't compile, and
then copy the libmc.a file into your libs path.
copy *.h to your include path

can they all be setup to share a common drive, and then choose
"install from local directory" and point it to the shared drive?
you simply have to put the entire cygwin download there then.

can't help with the sftp, but one solution to creating the links is
to create a script that checks for them and creates them if they

they run a shell and thus the links will be available to them.
i have several scripts in this area, export.sh, alias.sh, ...

HTH,


not without knowing your setup it doesn't, no.
and he was asking for personal mails to keep the spam off the

try running "cygcheck -cd gcc cygwin" and mailing it to rob
at the very least to show what versions of the compiler and cygwin
you are running. reporting you got a problem but not knowing what
versions you are running doesn't really help narrow the problem
down.

result codes are stored in $? in bash
success = 0 usually, and xcopy seems to follow the norm here.

here, i did
xcopy somefile somedir
echo $?

which returned 0

when i tried
xcopy nonfile somedir
echo $?

i get 4

so test for 0 for success.

extensions of this idea:

I used the stable release, not the development branch.



hi, which version of gpg-agent and gpg are you using?
My research [reading from latest announce :
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2006q3/000229.html

 GnuPG 1.9.x is the development series of GnuPG.  This version merged
 the code from the Aegypten project and thus includes the gpg-agent
]

and various other postings on the subject, seems to point that
gpg-agent is only available with the development version of gpg, 1.9.
(hence i don't understand how you are using a stable release to get
gpg-agent)

i've done as it says in that message, use gpg 1.4 for gpg and built
gpg-agent from the source, but get the same errors mentioned by Reini.

i've had huge trouble trying to track down in the source why gpg-agent
fails to talk to gpg for key information, so getting your version info
would be a great help to know what versions do work together, and how
you installed (i.e. built manually vs installed).

looks like a passing by reference problem. if you add debug to look
at the address of ifitQ at all stages, you'll notice that the copy pointer
in readCharges2 gets changed, but that isn't the same pointer as in
the calling block.

see section 2.17 of http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/c-faq/c-2.html

i don't understand how linux is getting it right tbh.

simply use setup to "download without installing" on a machine that
does have internet connection, then copy the entire directory and
setup.exe to a portable disk/usb/dvd and install on the connectionless
machine(s) using the "install from local directory" option.

What is the portable way to get the contents of foo1.out into a
variable, getting proper translation of the end of lines?  (If the
answer is use `d2u' that is not portable.)  I thought I was safe by
using text mounts--I spent quite a while looking at the archives
before posting and thought I had covered all bases.

Kevin



if you change the echo's to "echo -n" you don't get the ^M chars, as
it surpresses the CR in the output.
is this possible on the "real" scripts you talk about, or is the
version generating script/app not changeable?

$ cat foo1.sh
echo -n 8010 > foo1.out

$ cat foo2.sh
sh foo1.sh
version=`cat  foo1.out`
echo -n ${version}.bar > foo2.out
cat -v foo2.out

$ sh foo2.sh
8010.bar

alternate solutions to using cat (which allow the \r\n in foo1.out) :
version=`cut -f1 foo1.out`
version=`awk '{print $1}' foo1.out`
version=`sed -n '1p'  foo1.out`

cat is doing what it's supposed to, putting the whole file in the variable.
don't use it. if you can't change the \r\n from your version file, use one
of the alternatives.
