Shaping,
I don't remember the order I did these things in, but here are some
artifacts I can find.
User variable "HOME" set to c:\emacs
System variable HOME set to C:\documents and settings\jmack
nothing in registry at HKCU\SOFTWARE\GNU\
.emacs file at c:\emacs. Make sure not to use a windows editor on it,
unless it has settings for unix cr stripping.
c:\emacs
.emacs.d
init.txt
emacs-23.1
INSTALL
bin\runemacs.exe
C:\emacs\emacs-23.1\bin\runemacs.exe is where it built itself to using make.
INSTALL contains the instructions I followed: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
1. Make sure your system has at least 120 MB of free disk space.
2a. `cd' to the directory where you unpacked Emacs and invoke the
`configure' script:
./configure
5. Invoke the `make' program:
make
6. If `make' succeeds, it will build an executable program `emacs'
in the `src' directory. You can try this program, to make sure
it works:
src/emacs -q
7. Assuming that the program `src/emacs' starts and displays its
opening screen, you can install the program and its auxiliary
files into their installation directories:
make install
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
As a complete newbie, I did everything exactly as specified, and made no
assumptions. I had previously had ruby running on this xp 32 box, had
installed git. Has emacs ever been able to start, or is this a case where
emacs starts but integration through fuel to factor is the issue?
C:\Program Files\ErgoEmacs\ergoEmacs.exe also runs for me, does not contain
any .emacs files itself.
It may be that my going with a seeming convention of c:\emacs as the base
for the gnu emacs was what helps the defaults keep together?
