Re: RunEmacs - "Could not start XEmacs or gnuclient"

I installed the *wonderful* binary installation of XEmacs on

"Could not start XEmacs or gnuclient"
I put in some extra code and compiled runemacs using cygwin-20 and
found that it was the CreateProcess call that wasn't working correctly.
Looking at the new_cmdline value, it looks right. Unfortunately I
don't know enough about the start or sec_attr or child variables to
know what to look for there.
Any ideas???

Well, there are a lot of #ifdef's in 21.0.62's runemacs.c so the version
you compiled under cygwin is very different from the natively compiled one
that is included in the Waldman binary kit.
In 21.2, runemacs has been superseded by runxemacs, which adds a lot of
functionality. Ordinarily, I'd point you to my ftp site, where I've got a
standalone distribution of runxemacs that you could drop-in. But, my hard
drive died, so I'm off-line for the next few weeks.
I've got a backup copy of run{xemacs} that I'll mail in a separate
message, Dan.
