I downloaded the unix-style version of auctex from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/auctex-11.84.tar.gz and followed the installation instructions (configure, make, make install). I did this as a user with administrator privileges. No special configuration was needed to make auctex use miktex, since miktex is the only version of tex I have installed. So auctex simply finds miktex's executables in my path. I did have to do a little fiddling to make previewing work right.

(This time the default command for C-c C-c will be View, and you have to enter LaTeX instead.) If you want to repeat the whole experiment, delete the files forest.log, forest.dvi, and forest.aux that latex creates. My own experience is that, after the first crash, I often get crashes at an earlier stage when I repeat the process.

Identify the C code in the Emacs 22 source that needs to be back-ported to gcc 3.4.4 so that the problem you are seeing does not occur. A patch could then be applied to Emacs 22 so that it could run error free on Cygwin. I'll try to setup a debug environment to go this way. But I cannot guarantee for fast results.

Provide a detailed list of the steps (Emacs commands)
that you are running to reproduce the problem.
For example:
M-x compile
make mchps95.gfc clean
in which 'mchps95.gfc' is a F95 application linking with a Cernlib build
made with an old version of GFortran: this cause about 2000 link errors.
Beside this, I observe other core dumps, also starting (always from X)
emacs -q
or moving the mouse wheel to scroll!
It is not simple to give details, often the failures are at random.
Provide a detailed list of the steps that you took
to create your emacs binaries.
They are very simple and standard (from the build script):
LDFLAGS='-Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base' \
../configure --prefix=${prefix_dir} || return 1
make LD='$(CC)' || return 1
make LD='$(CC)' install prefix=${dest_dir}/${prefix_dir_name} \
|| return 1
cd ${dest_dir}
find ${prefix_dir_name} \! -type d | \
tar cjfT ${base_dir}/emacs-${rel}.${build}.tar.bz2 -
where ${prefix_dir} is /usr/local/emacs and I install the final package in
this way:
tar -xjf emacs-${rel}.${build}.tar.bz2 -C /
Cheers,
Angelo.

These are (essentially) the same steps that are used in
the .cygport for creating the Cygwin version of Emacs.
Would you please do the following?
$ make distclean
$ LDFLAGS='-Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base' \
../configure --prefix=${prefix_dir} configure.log 21
$ bzip2 configure.log
and then include configure.log.bz2 as an attachment to an email
message to this mailing list. This might provide enough information
to find out what is missing from the environment that is used to
build Emacs via cygport.

The following information might be helpful in investigating this problem: 1. Provide a detailed list of the steps (Emacs commands) that you are running to reproduce the problem. This should include a document file that is input into Emacs, preferably included as an attachment to your message, and compressed using bzip2 or gzip. 2. Provide a detailed list of the steps that you took to create your emacs binaries. This should include a copy of the output of 'configure' (again, included as a compressed text file attached to your message). Unfortunately, the Emacs documentation is opaque about what environment must be available during the configuration stage. I, for one, will look at this information if you provide it to help investigate what is causing the problem. Others might find it useful, too. Once a solution has been found it should be possible to include the proper steps in the cygport for Emacs so that it can be used going forward with later releases of Emacs. --- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hallo everyone After a long time a new *TEST* version of 'emacs' has been uploaded to a server near you. DESCRIPTION: Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text editor. Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news and more without leaving the editor. Some binaries normally part of the emacs distribution are separated to avoid conflicts with other packages. If you need b2m or rcs-ckeckin install xemacs-emacs-common package. If you need ctags or etags install ctags package. LEIM is now part of emacs package and no longer an own package. So emacs-leim is obsolete now. CYGWIN NEWS: This is the first release after a long time and a maintainer change. Emacs NEWS: === see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2007-06/msg0.html INSTALLATION: = To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up the above mentioned package from the 'Editors' category. DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. These mirrors already got the package, the others will probably have the latest version of this package fairly soon: In the US ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/ has reliable high bandwidth connections. QUESTIONS: == If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place.
