GOOD news: Now Emacs22 (at least) starts from an X window (urxvt-X). It is
still running.
But there are other questions.
1)
Emacs22 depend on xemacs-emacs-common which depend from xemacs: WHY to
install emacs one should install XEmacs ?
Previous version of Emacs depend on ctags and not from
xemacs-emacs-common.
This has another consequence (at least with -1 and -2): uninstalling
Emacs22 corrupts the installed ctag package (as reported from cygcheck).
2)
XEmacs comes with AUCTEX, so if one should use xemacs-emacs-common,
WHY not adding auctex to it?
Alternatively Emacs22 should have its own AUCTEX package.
3)
Installing Emacs22 via setup has some strange behaviour.
Selecting emacs-X11 package does not select those packages from which it
depend (emacs,...).
Beside this clicking on emacs-X11 first selects the old 21 packages then
22.
But perhaps this will be more clear whe Emacs22 will be an official [test]
Cygwin package!.
(While I am writing Emacs22 is still running...)
Many thanks to Steffen for his heavy work!
Cheers,
Angelo.
