Is there a cygwin emacs HOWTO? If so, I'd appreciate a pointer.
Use case: I download/setup cygwin 1.3.13-1, and download/setup
emacs 21.2. I run bash, and (from ~)
> $ emacs
> emacs: Terminal type cygwin is not defined.
> If that is not the actual type of terminal you have,
> use the Bourne shell command `TERM=... export TERM' (C-shell:
> `setenv TERM ...') to specify the correct type. It may be necessary
> to do `unset TERMINFO' (C-shell: `unsetenv TERMINFO') as well.
I get the same message for 'emacs -nw'? What do I need to tell
emacs? or cygwin? or both?
FWIW, I've been running cygwin ~daily for about a year (since
1.3.9), and running GNU emacsen for almost ten years (on various
platforms, lately mostly w2k) (never ran xemacs). I was thrilled
to hear today that there was a cygwin emacs, but I'll be a lot
more thrilled if I can get it to work :-)
