Do you want to run GNU emacs in terminal mode?
I run it in X mode with:
@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin2\bin
bash --login -c "/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/emacs -g 80x40+88+69 -- /usr/bin/X
:0 -multiwindow -clipboard"
I can also start a Cygwin window, and run GNU emacs there (with a -nw
option).
It starts, although doesn't work well. The keyboard bindings are weird for a
start (e.g. C-x C-c gives in fact C-x C-g, which forces you to exit with M-x
kill-emacs).
I'm sure this was discussed already.
