Re: Cygwin 64-bit compilation experience?

So, my vague memory was correct. We had a similar (?) problem back in 2011, at which time I wrote [1] As I replied to the previous thread, I can compile and run non-X-windows (i.e. native) XEmacs from source (21.5 (beta31) \"ginger\" c5fde3f37fef_ just fine under 1.7.9, and although that build does have the M-x shell problem, running it under the 2011-08-03 Cygwin snapshot cures that problem. And I _think_ that indeed at some point not long thereafter the mainline started working. So maybe there's been a regression. Interestingly (can you confirm) that "M-x shell-command" works, at least with 'ls'. I'll try to figure out how to find out where the sub-proc is failing. ht [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.xemacs.beta/35371 -- Henry S.
