Re: browse-url in emacs (was Re: w32-shell-execute function definition is void)

This turned out to be easier to sort out than I thought it would be. I've sent a report to emacs-devel: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-06/msg00320.html

I've now sent a patch upstream to fix the browse-url problem. (I decided to do it without implementing w32-shell-execute.) It may be a while before I know whether the patch, or some variant of it, is accepted. This certainly won't happen until after the release of 23.1. So I applied the patch locally and rebuilt the packages (cygwin 1.7 only). It works for me, but it would be good if someone else would test it also.


Marc, if you want to test it, delete the stuff you added to your .emacs and carry out the following steps:

D=http://www.math.cornell.edu/~kbrown/cygwin-1.7
wget -x -nH --cut-dirs=2 \
  ${D}/emacs/emacs-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2 \
  ${D}/emacs/emacs-X11/emacs-X11-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2 \
  ${D}/emacs/emacs-el/emacs-el-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2
/etc/preremove/emacs.sh
/etc/preremove/emacs-X11.sh
cd emacs
tar -C/ -xf emacs-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2
tar -C/ -xf emacs-X11/emacs-X11-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2
tar -C/ -xf emacs-el/emacs-el-23.0.92-11.tar.bz2
/etc/postinstall/emacs.sh
/etc/postinstall/emacs-X11.sh

If I haven't made a mistake, browse-url should now work. If anything goes wrong, you can simply use setup-1.7.exe to reinstall emacs.
