Thanks a lot for write this.
I followed through, the problem I am having is that the echo %PATH% output
is not the same in the cmd.exe vs. the emacs shell.
here is the modified code in my .emacs.
***********************************************************
(when (string-equal system-type "windows-nt")
(progn
(setenv "PATH" "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin")
(setq exec-path
'(
"C:/Windows/system32/"
"C:/Windows/"
"C:/Windows/System32/Wbem/"
"C:/Windows/system32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/"
"C:/Program Files/Aspell/bin/"
)
)
)
)
***********************************************************
I have a feeling there is something not write with my modification above.
Aspell is installed under "C:/Program Files/
cmd.exe > echo %PATH% puts out
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;c:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\100\DTS\Binn\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\;C:\Program Files\Aspell\bin\
emacs shell echo %PATH% puts out
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/
should I copy the output from the cmd and put it in the code inside my
.emacs?
