Re: After update from 1.5.18 to 1.5.19, xemacs 21.4.13 can only run from bash

fine. Just today, I upgraded Cygwin from 1.5.18 to 1.5.19. Now when I
double-click the icon, it does nothing. I then tried pasting the path
to it into a DOS cmd prompt, and it still does nothing. I then executed
it directly from a bash prompt, and that worked.
And the command you are running is?
I have a similar icon for 21.4.18, and that doesn't demonstrate
the same
problem, although 21.4.18 always runs a cmd window in the background,
which 21.4.13 does not.
I think what affected your installation is a change of version of Xemacs not the
Cygwin dll.
This works for me with no problem:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe xemacs
that is the target of the shortcut. If you set the icon of this shortcut to use
the xemacs executable icon (i.e. C:\Cygwin\bin\xemacs-21.4.18.exe) that will
show the icon until the next change of version.
