I indeed would like to be able to run un-cygwinized NTEmacs both with X and no X. The pb with cygwinized Emacs is for instance that it doesn't deal with NT paths eg. C:\foo\bar. I can work around that wirh /cygdrive or a /c mount point, but I'd rather not. I don't want it to pretend to be on *NIX, but rather to be able to understand *NIX world. BTW, I got a strange error when trying to build NTEmacs from CVS sources with cygwin (make bootstrap) ----------------------------------- gcc -c -I/usr/share/gettext -Demacs -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DUSE_LUCID -I. -I/ho me/FRC/emacs/src -I/usr/share/gettext -I/usr/X11R6/include -g xterm.c xterm.c: In function `x_create_toolkit_scroll_bar': xterm.c:4488: `XtNbeNiceToColormap' undeclared (first use in this function) xterm.c:4488: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once xterm.c:4488: for each function it appears in.) make[1]: *** [xterm.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/FRC/emacs/src' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 ----------------------------------- Googled a bit but didn't find anything. I got almost all latest cygwin packages (apart from games etc...). Rookie Q: what's that DOC file used for?
