Hi
I guess this question has been asked before but I want to open cygwin bash
shell in Emacs (Vista O/S).
I'm probably missing something fundamental -- however, I have
C:\cygwin\bin in my (Windoze) PATH, right after the various C:\WINDOWS
directories, and I have the line:
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "C:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe")
in my .emacs file, and it just works. I also have a file
.emacs_bash.exe containing the single line:
. .bash_profile
since the Emacs 'shell' command does not pass the --login option to the
shell.
