Hi Robert:
Would they allow dual-booting? I’m not saying that you can’t get ESS
to work under Cygwin. On the contrary, it did work at one time so
it certainly can be done. However, that is not currently supported
so you are on your own. But, perhaps there are others in the same
straight-jacket here on ess-help that might be willing to help?
Please speak up if so!
In regards to WSL, that came out after I permanently switched
to macOS. But, I think it is worth a try too. Since you will be
running pure Linux binaries, then it might work out of the box.
And maybe there are more people here interested in WSL than
Cygwin. Also, the more recent WSL 2 (released in 2019) sounds
like it is more compatible than WSL 1 (released in 2016).
R is not being tested under WSL. When I tried last time (which is
several years ago), there were some issues. Maybe they are already gone
by now, I don't know, but it is not a supported platform.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Alas, I am using a company-provided
laptop. I would much prefer to run Linux as I do on my personal
system but that is not in the cards. I have plenty of access to Linux
servers and of course I can run things there but it’s a bit inconvenient.
I thought about using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). I have some
experience with early versions of that [which leads me to avoid it 😊].
It is my fate to cope with legacy junk on projects that were late when
I joined. Ah well it’s a living.

Hi Robert:
There was a time when we supported ESS under Cygwin.
In other words, run elisp code assuming UNIX/Linux rather
than Windows even though Windows is the OS. However,
that was a long time ago: at least 10 years since I last tried it.
Cygwin has largely fallen out of fashion since you can now so
easily install Ubuntu on typical hardware: something that
has markedly improved since 2013. Therefore, I would not
expect Cygwin support to work out of the box since there
has been no recent testing. Also, Windows is not very
popular with R users since there is no forking support
for the parallel package. So switching to Linux is well
worth it. I used to run Windows inside VirtualBox when
I needed to do PC stuff like Office and iTunes
(before switching to macOS and never looking back ;o)

________________________________
Let me try raw text:
Tomas, my thanks for your prompt and useful response. I followed your
instructions and the Windows (MinGW/MSYS2) R and ggplot2 of course
work perfectly well launched from a Cygwin bash shell. Alas, ESS
inside Cygwin Emacs 29.1 doesn't quite work, launching an R process
gives an error and although R is running with stdin/stdout directed to
the Emacs buffer there is no tab completion.
[background for the benefit of ess-b...@r-project.org]
I recently received a new Windows 11 laptop from our IT department and
I'm trying to recreate my R environment (Cygwin/Emacs/ESS/R/ggplot2).
Originally I installed R 4.3.0 as packaged in Cygwin's setup.exe
utility (in the Math section). I was unable to add ggplot2. Tomas
kindly pointed me to the pre-built Windows binaries and as expected
installing it and ggplot2 went smoothly.
I perused
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ess.r-project.org/index.php?Section=home__;!!H8mHWRdzp34!7kh3oo0D5fJMElRU8O3Xz6Hmc-Y0ufB8oSgC1uqX1yvGwlD9fv0aJdrxgnpo0X7E1tfYMI0XU5Y1iNnIKnpbUlLT$
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ess.r-project.org/index.php?Section=home__;!!H8mHWRdzp34!7kh3oo0D5fJMElRU8O3Xz6Hmc-Y0ufB8oSgC1uqX1yvGwlD9fv0aJdrxgnpo0X7E1tfYMI0XU5Y1iNnIKnpbUlLT$>
and pulled the latest ESS via git clone. Make worked but now when I
try to launch R inside Emacs [with (require 'ess-r-mode) in my .emacs
file] an error message appears:
ess-r--init-error-handler: Wrong type argument: listp, "Caused by
error: R error during background ESS command base::tryCatch(
base::local({
base::source('/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/etc/ESSR/R/.load.R',
local=TRUE) #define load.ESSR
.ess.ESSR.load('/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/etc/ESSR/R')
}),
error = function(cnd) {
msg <- paste0('ESSR::ERROR \"', conditionMessage(cnd),
'\"')
writeLines(msg)
}
)
Error: cannot open the connection"
Following this the buffer is live but tab completion fails.
I attach the ess build log:
