Thanks. I made the switch now, everything seems to be working. BTW, I asked this question because I was once bitten by this when I install= ed Emacs on Linux using Homebrew. Turned out that Homebrew on Linux is a purel= y CLI affair. (It's cool that Emacs can run on the console, but I do prefer the g= ooey version...) >> (The >> Windows binaries that were anounced on emacs-devel the other day >> appear to be MSYS2 binaries? > > I don't think so. I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that they were built with MSYS2. But I understand now that it's possible to build MinGW binaries with MSYS2, so th= at doesn't mean anything. Thanks for your help, I have a much better idea of what I'm doing now. --=20 Joost Kremers Life has its moments
