It's not in the CVS because no one succeeded to explain or understand why this problem happens in the Cygwin build, but not in any other build, including the MS-Windows build with MinGW development tools. I object in principle to installing changes to problems we do not understand, because we might be fixing the wrong code. If you can afford the time and effort to debug this and report the results, please do. I can assure you that, once the problem is understood sufficiently well, the solution will be installed in no time. TIA > - lisp = $(CURDIR) > +lisp = $(shell cygpath -m $(CURDIR)) You see, this shouldn't be needed, since subdirectories of lisp/ should be automatically on load-path--it's part of the Emacs startup code to make this happen. So some other factor is at work here.
