Emacs already has NT-specific code that makes it a native Windows application, but that version doesn't know Cygwin paths, etc. (it's built against mingw). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

emacs in separate window
is there a way to start emacs in X mode (separate window, with menu stuff), but without using startx and lunching emacs within the X-window? I mean, start emacs from the cygwin terminal window, but running it in a separate window. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

The X part of emacs uses X11 calls, so you need an X server (not necessarily XFree86, though). If you're ambitious, you may try to compile emacs from source and link it with the W11 library that comes with rxvt, although I'm almost certain there's a lot of missing functionality there. If you succeed in building emacs with W11 (and adding the necessary functionality to W11), I'm sure many on this list will be interested in the results.
