find-dired problems

[Timur Aydin <timuraydin@superonline.com>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting "find-dired" to behave correctly.

Here is what I do:

1) I open a directory using dired
2) I do M-x find-dired, accept the directory offered and specify
   Makefile as the file to find.

Here is what emacs comes back with:

  d:/BCMDEV/:
  find . \( Makefile \) -exec ls -ld {} \;
  find: paths must precede expression
  Usage: find [path...] [expression]
  
  find exited abnormally with code 1 at Thu Dec 12 00:39:28

I tried using find-name-dired and find-grep-dired. All of them give
errors:

find-name-dired, directory is d:/BCMDEV, pattern is Mak*

  d:/BCMDEV/:
  find . \( -name 'Mak*' \) -exec ls -ld {} \;
  find: missing argument to `-exec'
  
  find exited abnormally with code 1 at Thu Dec 12 00:45:04

find-grep-dired, directory is d:/BCMDEV, pattern is ALIGN

  d:/BCMDEV/:
  find . \( -type f -exec grep -q ALIGN {} \;  \) -exec ls -ld {} \;
  find: missing argument to `-exec'
  
  find exited abnormally with code 1 at Thu Dec 12 00:46:35

What am I doing wrong?

I am using emacs 21.2 on W2000 and Cygwin is installed on this
system. Cygwin is located in c:\cygwin and:

HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\cygwin\home\tayd.
