Subject: bug#50818: 28.0.50; .eln files need to be executable on Cygwin
Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2021 11:03:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7330c585-dffd-77e8-8d41-0ba1c7cbcfa6@cornell.edu> (raw)
An installed emacs built with native compilation won't start on Cygwin because
the executable permissions have been removed from the .eln files. This is done
in the install-eln target of the top-level Makefile.in, which installs the .eln
files with 644 permissions even though they were created with executable
permissions.
The failure is in Cygwin's dlopen, which calls the windows function
GetModuleHandleExW.
Would it hurt anything on other platforms if the .eln files were installed with
755 permissions? If so, I can submit a patch that does this just on Cygwin.
Ken
