Re: [O] Emacs+org on Windows 7 pro
The idea in scimax for windows is to include an Emacs git submodule. See https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/install-scimax-win.sh for how I suggest to install it. Assuming you have git installed, you can run: > bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkitchin/scimax/master/install-scimax-win.sh )" and it will download everything for you. On completion, there is some helm, and some ivy. You can configure it as you see fit. There are some things I like about each one.

The scimax repo does not have emacs in it anymore, so it is a lot smaller. scimax tends to use ivy more than helm for completion. scimax uses use-package for the most part to install packages, but I think most of the functionality is the same though.

I find the git bash shell adequate for most of my needs. I haven't used cygwin in many years.

Re: [O] Emacs+org on Windows 7 pro
I switched from Cygwin to Msys2 a year or two ago and it's been very good. The pacman-based package management is very good. The only thing to watch out for is that there are actually 2 gcc suites and if you want to build automake projects (like many open source projects), you'll want to be using the Mingw gcc and NOT the Msys gcc. ConEmu is a great terminal program to use in conjunction with Msys2 I also recommend opinionated Emacs distros. I used to use Prelude but I've been using Spacemacs (in Emacs mode) for quite a while, now. I like Spacemacs because your loaded packages are explicitly in your .spacemacs file and it's easy to reconstruct which packages you have loaded from that. -- Bill On Tue, Aug 23, 2016 at 12:25 PM Fabrice Popineau < fabrice.popin...@supelec.fr> wrote: > 2016-08-23 10:24 GMT+02:00 Eric S Fraga : > >> On Tuesday, 23 Aug 2016 at 01:34, Grant Rettke wrote: >> > I found Cygwin to make things more difficult for Emacs so I installed >> > the plain old Windows Emacs and did the following: >> > >> > https://github.com/grettke/help/blob/master/help.md#windows >> >> Thanks.

I guess, if I had to use cygwin a lot, I might find it to be less than satisfactory. Luckily, my use is very limited and is for very sporadic use. The advantage of cygwin is I only have to run a single setup program, click the select box for the various tools, hit install and I'm done! I have been 99.999% Linux since 1992... (0.99pl12 Slackware version ;-) with Solaris, BSD Unix and Unix V7 before that. All I care about is having bash+emacs with basic org in case I need to use Windows for some reason! -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.94.1, Org release_8.3.4-655-g9fb077

The main thing I am taking way from this, in any case, is to have each user install their own version.

Re: [O] Emacs+org on Windows 7 pro
I found Cygwin to make things more difficult for Emacs so I installed the plain old Windows Emacs and did the following: https://github.com/grettke/help/blob/master/help.md#windows https://www.wisdomandwonder.com/article/5647/enabling-png-jpg-and-gif-in-emacs-on-windows I got Org from Git did the setup as described https://github.com/grettke/help/blob/master/help.md#help-enables-literate-programming And then everything else "just worked".

Re: [O] Emacs+org on Windows 7 pro
Checkout http://github.com/jkitchin/scimax. With git installed it will install an opinionatedly configured Emacs. Most of my students use it. I would just have each user install it.

[O] Emacs+org on Windows 7 pro
Hello all, I am asking a n00b question here: what the is best way to get org (+ emacs obviously) on an MS Windows 7 pro system for use by more than one user on the system (multiple accounts with users not having Administrator accounts)? I don't need bleeding edge versions of either org or emacs but hopefully something relatively up to date. The few times I have had to use a Windows system (luckily very seldom ;-), I have simply installed cygwin and gone from there. This is not a viable solution in this case due to the users concerned.
