Hi Robert:
Looking this over. The issue appears to be that you need a prefix.
It has been a long time since I used Cygwin. But I assume the
prefix is something like �c:� or �/cygwin/c�. In other words,
the root is NOT �/�; rather something like $PREFIX/ Is that the issue?
I�m trying to think of a way that we could easily adapt to this
without hacking all over the places. Possibly, we could support
PREFIX kind of like the way configure works. Thanks

It turns out it was fairly easy to make ESS work in Cygwin Emacs with R built
for Windows. The issue was of course path names. I attach a patch that works
for me.
Let me explain that I am using a company-provided and managed laptop and I have
no choice but to run Windows. I am familiar with a number of Unix/Linux -like
environments for Windows (Cygwin, MSYS, WSL). I have tried them all over a
period of years. I use R primarily as a means for presenting data. It is not
the main thrust of my work. Having spent considerable time making this laptop
a comfortable working environment I am loathe to switch.
