Re: [h-e-w] problems with find.*dired in emacs21

[Guy Worthington]

Sorry I can't help you, instead I'll bore you with my life.  I use 
   M-x find-dired
regularly on a win2k box with cygwin 1.3 and emacs-20.1.  My cygwin
settings, are very similar to yours:

;--------------------------------------------------
;; shell-mode

(setq explicit-shell-file-name "bash"
      ;; this is required for find-dired to work
      shell-file-name explicit-shell-file-name)
;; comint requires COMSPEC set
(setenv "SHELL" explicit-shell-file-name)


;; This way, bash doesn't get ^M from Emacs, but Emacs removes ^M it
;; gets from bash.
;; e.g. (add-to-list 'process-coding-system-alist
;;             '("bash" . (undecided-dos . undecided-unix)))
(add-to-list 'process-coding-system-alist
             '(".*" . (undecided-dos . undecided-unix)))

;;; if using cygwin ftp (we probably are since cyg-path is first in
;;; exec-path), then fix up a problem with NTemacs and cygwin-1.3.2
;;; Alternatively, you might try this 
;;; (setq ange-ftp-ftp-program-name "C:\\WINNT\\SYSTEM32\\FTP.EXE")
(setq ange-ftp-ftp-program-args
      (list "-i" "-n" "-g" "-v" "--prompt" ""))

(require 'cygwin-mount)
(cygwin-mount-activate)

(provide 'cygwin-site)
