emacs -Q -nw

Click the tiny X icon in the upper right of the frame, to close the
frame and thus quit Emacs.  You get a popup MS Windows dialog:

  GNU Emacs: The extensible self-documenting text editor has stopped
  working

  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the
  program.

  --> Close the program

Clicking `Close the program' then closes the program.  This error dialog
box should not appear at all - Emacs should just close.

Not reproducible with today's trunk.

This is 2 weeks old, so perhaps the problem was already fixed.

Can someone else reproduce this with a recent trunk?

I just tried with:

  GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
   of 2014-10-20 on LEG570
  Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

on a Windows 7 machine, and the cmd console window closes normally,
without any popup dialog.

Drew, you may want to try the above binary.  It's available from

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/emacs-bin/files/snapshots/

Thanks, Dani.

I downloaded it and tested for this bug. Unfortunately, I still see exactly the same thing: the error dialog pops up. I'm on Windows 7, 64-bit, in case that makes a difference.

BTW, I've missed the frequent builds that you used to make.  But I understand that it is a lot of work and takes time.  Just want to let you know that I appreciate your building Emacs for us, and I definitely make use of each build you create.

BTW2: Do you know of a Windows build of the new release? I don't see any posted at the GNU site for them (e.g. http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/)

It seems that nobody has yet uploaded there a build of the recent 24.4
release.  I hope someone will, because I guess that many people look
there for the Emacs binaries.

I could try.

Is there a detailed procedure to follow documented somewhere?  If not,
I have some questions:
1. What configure options should I use?
2. How can I generate the ".sig" files?
3. How can I upload the files there?

Dunno. Base them on whatever was used for 24.3?

I'm trying to follow that procedure from a Cygwin system.

I've been unable to do the "Optional but recommended" step in

  https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Automated-Upload-Registration.html#Automated-Upload-Registration

Because
  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --send-keys <keyid>

gives here this

  gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on configuration file
`/home/Dani/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
  gpg: WARNING: unsafe enclosing directory permissions on
configuration file `/home/Dani/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
  gpg: external program calls are disabled due to unsafe options file
permissions
  gpg: keyserver communications error: general error
  gpg: keyserver send failed: general error

I've tried to change the file permissions but it doesn't work:
  Dani@LEG570 $ pwd
  /home/Dani/.gnupg
  Dani@LEG570 $ ls -o
  total 29

  -rw-rw---- 1 Dani 1280 Oct 22 21:31 trustdb.gpg


Well, ok. That's an "optional" step, so let's move on:

In step 3 (from the same URL above), I'm told to (a) generate a "msg"
file, with an attachement, then (b) sign it, and finally (c) send it.
But how can I do (a)? I.e. how can I create that "msg" file with an
attachement inside?  I've never done such thing (I've always built my
messages from either a web browser or an email client such as Outlook
- and I have not email client program installed in this machine...)

It's been a while, but I think I interpreted "as an attachment" simply
as "inline at the end of the body."

Only --prefix, and nothing else, please.  The exactt value of the
prefix doesn't matter, as Emacs will determine the directories it
needs during startup, relative to where its binary lives.

It would be best to strip temacs.exe manually ("strip temacs.exe") and
then re-dump Emacs, before running "make install".  That's because
"make install-strip" on Windows will produce a binary that Windows
will refuse to run (this is fixed on the trunk), and OTOH uploading a
binary zip with 2 50MB binaries bloated by DWARF-2 debug info is not
the best idea.

Please remember to put bin/libXpm-nox4.dll in the binary zip, so that
users could have an Emacs capable of display the XPM icons.

Thanks.

If the exact value of the prefix does not matter, the what is wrong
with the default value?

How can I re-dump Emacs?  (sorry I've never done such thing manually)

Can you give me the URL to grab that library (binary and sourcecode)?
I have a link that seems no longer valid [1].

The principle.

Just type "make" after stripping, and if that doesn't produce a new
emacs.exe, "touch temacs.exe" should; or just delete emacs.exe and say
"make".

One place is here:

  http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/xpm.htm

Or you could use the sources that are already on the GNU FTP site:

  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/libxpm-3.5.8-w32-src.zip

and build the DLL yourself.

FWIW this is contrary to the GNU coding standards.
(But then so is using MS Windows. :) )

https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html

  Do not strip executables when installing them. This helps eventual
  debugging that may be needed later, and nowadays disk space is cheap [...]

Interesting - thanks; got it.

I saw no announcement for that.  This is the only announcement I saw:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-10/msg00713.html

That was sent to emacs-devel.  I saw nothing at all in the info-gnu list, which previously was used for such announcments.

And typically in the past, a day or two after the main announcement there would be an announcement in emacs-devel and in help-emacs-windows that a Windows binary was available at an HTTP URL.

I hope so too.  That is the site for GNU Emacs MS Windows binaries.  It is what users expect.  And it is what they find when they google for "gnu emacs windows".

And I hope it gets announced to users, if that site gets updated to include it.

Thx - Drew

The Emacs development list is not the place for people to announce that
they have (gasp) compiled Emacs and put it on a server.

It was announced in the past.

But I guess you are hinting that in spite of this message you sent:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-10/msg00797.html,
when a Windows binary is uploaded there will be no announcement for
it.  That is different from past practice.

I am subscribed to info-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. It's possible that I
received the message twice, once for emacs-devel and once for
info-gnu-emacs, and I deleted the latter.

The real point is that there was no announcement of a posting
of Windows binaries.  No problem, if it is just a matter of time,
as suggested in your emacs-devel msg (today) cited above.

But it will be a shame if the practice of announcing this is
dropped because you don't think posting a Windows binary is
announcement-worthy.   On n'arrete pas le progres.

Both Dani and myself tried this on 64-bit Windows 7, and couldn't
reproduce the problem.

Please tell more about how you invoked Emacs (from which shell, which
directory, etc.).  Also, look in the Event Viewer, under Applications,
and tell what Windows reports about this crash -- it should report at
least one address where the exception happened.

I start it from a desktop shortcut, with this info:

  Target: D:\Emacs-24.4\bin\emacs.exe -Q --debug-init -nw
  Start in: 

Start in is empty.  Same thing if I put an existing directory in `Start in' (e.g. d:\usr\me\foo).  Same thing if I also put that directory at the end of the `Target' line, enclosed in "" (i.e., to open it with Dired).

I see nothing about Emacs there. I'm looking in Computer Management > Event Viewer > Applications and Services Logs. And when I click the X and then click "Close the program", nothing seems to change in that viewer.

Should I drill down into one of the subdirs (none of which seem related to Emacs)? If so, which one? There are zillions of subsubsubfolders etc.

That is certainly not what I tried.  But trying this now, I cannot
reproduce the problem, at least not on Windows XP.  Maybe I will see
it on Windows 7 later.

No, that's not the right place.  Look in Event Viewer > Windows Logs >
Application.

I'm sorry to say that nothing shows up there either.

That's next to impossible.  Every application that crashes causes an
entry there.  Perhaps try other sub-folders under Windows Logs.

If you cannot provide any details, and no one can reproduce this,
there's no hope of solving this.

Do you see any events at all under Application (or any other subfolder
of Windows Logs) around the time when Emacs "stopped working"?

FYI, I always start Emacs from a shortcut - either one that is on the desktop or one that is in the taskbar.

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, in case it makes a difference.

OK, thanks.

Dani, can you please see what that address ("Fault offset")
corresponds to in the binary that Drew uses?  You need to add
0x1000000 to that address first, as you did with addresses shown by
Process Explorer.

Thanks.
