You can install CYGWIN + emacs directly through CYGWIN setup(http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe). No need to uninstall the emacs under C:\program.... Sent to you by JunJie via Google Reader: Emacs on Windows XP -> Cygwin via Nabble - Emacs - Help by Raimund Kohl-Fuechsle on 11/12/07 Hello, as mentioned recently I have a Thinkpad with Windows XP running. I installed emacs 22.x on it the way I read it someplace on the internet ... not under C.\Programme but under C.\emacs instead. Works ... only printing from within emacs does not work. However, now I found out there is Cygwin ... well, looks great so far. Now here the question: AFAIU Cygwin is "best choice" if one is wanting to have XP working Linux.like plus having some Xnix tools too. To enjoy Cygwin, am I to deinstall emacs the way I have it now, then to install Cygwin and reinstall emacs only this time as a Cygwin package? Does this sound reasonable? I don't mind much installing/reinstalling ... as long as it is the best way to have all things running greatly ... :-) Thanx in advance ray _______________________________________________ help-gnu-emacs mailing list help-gnu-emacs@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs Things you can do from here: - Subscribe to Nabble - Emacs - Help using Google Reader - Get started using Google Reader to easily keep up with all your favorite sites
