Re: [comp.emacs.xemacs] Re: M-x shell fails under Windows Vista

Sean - (I've taken the liberty of forwarding your info to the xemacs-beta list; I hope that's OK - I thought it was acceptable since you originally posted to a public list.) Sean wrote: Thanks for sending along the info, although it got word-wrapped in transit. I've attached an unmangled version to this message. The debug-paths output looks normal. I agree that the config.values thing looks suspicious, however. Even though (as you note) the 21.4 build doesn't exhibit the problems, the startup code is substantially different in 21.5 from 21.4 Michael - Do you have any thoughts on how the values expressed in config.values get used during XEmacs startup? In particular, that lispdir value looks suspicious to me. Note that some paths (generated on my system when I built the installkit) do not exist on Sean's target system. Here are the contents of the config.values file: ;;; Do not edit this file! blddir "e:\\acs\\software\\XEmacsWindowsKit\\xemacs-21.5-2007-03-01" srcdir "e:\\acs\\software\\XEmacsWindowsKit\\xemacs-21.5-2007-03-01" CC "cl" CFLAGS "-nologo -W3 -DSTRICT -Zi -Od -MD" CPP "cl" CPPFLAGS "" LISPDIR "\\e:\\acs\\software\\XEmacsWindowsKit\\xemacs-21.5-2007-03-01\\lisp" Thanks for any thoughts you may have, Michael. - Vin -- The Journey by Mary Oliver http://www.poemhunter.com/p/m/poem.asp?poet=6771&poem=30506 _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
