Hi All,
I had emacs-21.2 installed. I installed it and ran addpm.exe and it worked
just fine for years. Then I installed emacs-21.3. I followed the
instructions in README and ran addpm.exe. It too ran ok for years. It ran
if I started it from the Windows start menus, and it would run if I started
a cygwin bash shell then typed runemacs.
Recently I decided to remove the directory structure under D:\emacs-21.2
Now when I try to start emacs I get a message saying it cannot find
/cygdrive/d/emacs-21.2/lisp/term/w32-win.el whatever way I try to start
emacs.
If I create just that file (copied the w32-win.el from the emacs-21.3, but
no other files) to see what would happen, but what happens is that emacs
does nothing and no error messagews come up. From task manager I can see
tgcmd grab some memory but no new process appears and I can find no trace of
emacs having run.
My PATH environment variable contains /cygdrive/d/emacs-21.3/bin (which is
what it was when emacs was working)
I check the registry and it has
hkey-local-machine/software/gnu/emacs/emacs-dir is set to emacs-21.3
I cannot find anything set to /cygdrive/d/emacs-21.2
I have rerun addpm.exe but nothing changes.
Any clues anybody?
Thanks
Michael Flynn
