I am attempting to use the cygwin version of emacs and emacsclient, however I am running into an issue. The scenario that I am attempting is as follows:
1. Launching emacs from mintty (both of which were installed from the cygwin installer). 2. A simple init.el inside the .emacs.d directory that looks like this (http://pastie.org/1590067). 3. Background emacs with C-z 4. Launch emacsclient somefile.txt to edit the file.
When I perform step 4, the command prompt doesn't appear to invoke emacsclient, the display does not change, and I do not see the file I am attempting to view. I have to issue a C-c to break the prompt back to normal user input.
Version Information: mintty: 0.9.5 emacs: 23.2.1 emacsclient: 23.2
Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the cause of this behavior? Should this in fact work? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
I don't see anything in the emacsclient documentation that suggest that the emacs server should continue to run after being suspended with C-z. Here are two alternatives that do seem to work (but see the documentation for much more information):
1. Start emacs (and the emacs server) in one mintty window and run emacsclient in another.
2. Start emacs with the --daemon option.
