Emacs on Cygwin

Emacs on Cygwin

[Ehud Karni]

I just built Emacs 22.0.50 on Cygwin, emacs-versin: GNU Emacs 22.0.50.5
(i686-pc-cygwin, GTK+ Version 2.4.14) of 2005-02-21 on p4-1700-xp.

The build time is large compared to GNU/Linux.
Cygwin configure 9:27, make bootstrap 40:58.
GNU/Linux configure 1:33, bootstarp 23:15.

I found 1 specific bug when dumping Emacs on Cygwin:
The keybinding of Control/Meta delete and backspace are reversed.
I did (describe-variable 'global-map) on both system and found the
following differences (the Cygwin bindings are reversed):

    GNU/Linux map                              Cygwin map
(C-M-backspace . Alt-C-delete)             (C-M-backspace . Alt-C-BS)
(C-M-delete . Alt-C-BS)                    (C-M-delete . Alt-C-delete)

(C-backspace . PC-C-delete)                (C-backspace . PC-C-bksp)
(C-delete . PC-C-bksp)                     (C-delete . PC-C-delete)

(M-backspace . Alt-delete)                 (M-backspace . Alt-BS)
(M-delete . Alt-BS)                        (M-delete . Alt-delete)

(M-S-delete . Alt-S-delete)                (M-S-delete . Alt-S-delete)
(C-S-delete . PC-CS-delete)                (C-S-delete . PC-CS-delete)
(S-delete . PC-S-delete)                   (S-delete . PC-S-delete)
(delete . PC-delete)                       (delete . PC-delete)

(M-S-backspace . Alt-S-BS)                 (M-S-backspace . Alt-S-BS)
(S-backspace . PC-S-bksp)                  (S-backspace . PC-S-bksp)

Ehud.
