It turned out that the test below for execute access failed. That seems
strange since indeed runemacs.exe can be executed. Is that perhaps a bug
in MinGW or in w32? Or am I misunderstanding something? Where could I
try to report this (potential) bug?
According to this:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1w06ktdy(VS.80).aspx
the Windows version of `access' doesn't support X_OK at all, only
F_OK, R_OK, and W_OK.
I don't really understand why did you need that test. The CVS version
of emacsclient.c doesn't have such a test, AFAICS.
Ah, thanks Eli. I did not know that X_OK was not supported (though
somewhere in my head is a memory of hearing theis before).
This is for the code I have added in my patched version of emacsclient.c
to start Emacs automatically. Since I wanted to avoid errors I tested as
much as I could come up with. Some testing overkill I guess.
Now the automatic starting of Emacs seems to work very well on w32. If
someone is interested I believe the code should run on other platforms too.
