Hi I have just installed cygwin on my Win7 Home Premium 64 machine. I installed everything from the cygwin repository following instructions on the setup page. However, some of the links on Cygwin-X menu as well as the shortcuts on the desktop are broken. As an example the Xemacs shortcut is broken while the gvim shortcut just works fine. I have the following properties for these links: Xemacs Target=C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin xemacs -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 Start in=C:\cygwin\bin
gvim Target=C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin gvim -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 Start in=C:\cygwin\bin Both shortcuts look pretty similar however, starting xemacs using the shortcut results in the following Run.exe error message Error could not start C:\cygwin\bin\xemacs-21.4.22.exe(a single strange character kind of I)!! -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 The strange character added to the 2 exclamation marks at the end of the executable name is already intringuing. Looks like windows is messing up with some string termination. The file xemacs-21.4.22.exe does exists in the bin directory and I can manually start xemacs from the console without problem using either xemacs or xemacs-21.4.22. Strangely enough, the emacs shortcut with the following properties works pretty well too emacs Target=C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin emacs -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 Start in=C:\cygwin\bin The postinstallation script also created Singular 3 shortcuts on the desktop. The shortcuts Singular (Terminal) and the shotcut Singular (Rxvt) work without problem. The third one Singular (Emacs and X-server) does not work. No error message is dispalyed and nothing happens when clicking on this shortcut. I am using a french version of win7 home premium.
