Of course, emacs is a shell script.
Of course it should be a symlink, pointing to emacs-X11 on a standard
installation.
Right.
It's a symlink to a symlink:
$ which emacs
/usr/bin/emacs
$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 andrea mkgroup 23 11 set 12.22 /usr/bin/emacs -> /etc/alternatives/emacs
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/emacs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 andrea mkgroup 22 11 set 12.22 /etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe
Then I would have expected strace to accept it, but it doesn't matter
really.
Did you read /usr/share/doc/emacs/README.Cygwin?
Now yes, thanks.
Is the DISPLAY environment variable set correctly?
I think so.
$ env|grep DISPLAY
DISPLAY=:0.0
Does Emacs "run" when you start it as "emacs-X11 -Q"?
No luck.
It either hangs, hogging the CPU, or quits without doing anything.
bye & Thanks
