From: Ken Brown To: cygwin-announce@cygwin.com Date: Tue, 29 May 2018 01:04:00 -0000 Message-Id: <20180528134341.968-1-kbrown@cornell.edu> Subject: emacs 26.1-1 X-PMX-Cornell-Gauge: Gauge=XXXXX X-PMX-CORNELL-AUTH-RESULTS: dkim-out=none; X-SW-Source: 2018-05/txt/msg00030.txt.bz2 The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution: * emacs-26.1-1 * emacs-el-26.1-1 * emacs-X11-26.1-1 * emacs-w32-26.1-1 * emacs-lucid-26.1-1 [*] Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text editor. Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news, and more without leaving the editor. This is an update to the latest upstream release. Browse the NEWS file ('C-h n' within emacs) for changes since the last release. CYGWIN NOTES ============ 1. The emacs, emacs-w32, emacs-X11, and emacs-lucid packages each provide an emacs binary. These are emacs-nox.exe, emacs-w32.exe, emacs-X11.exe, and emacs-lucid.exe, respectively, in order of increasing priority. The postinstall scripts create a symlink /usr/bin/emacs that resolves to the highest-priority binary that you have installed. Thus the command 'emacs' will start emacs-lucid.exe if you've installed the emacs-lucid package; otherwise, it will start emacs-X11.exe if you've installed emacs-X11; otherwise, it will start emacs-w32.exe if you've installed emacs-w32; otherwise, it will start emacs-nox.exe. Similar remarks apply to emacsclient. If you have installed more than one emacs package and don't like the default resolution of /usr/bin/emacs, you can run one of the /usr/bin/set-emacs-default-*.sh scripts to change it. For example, /usr/bin/set-emacs-default-w32.sh will make /usr/bin/emacs resolve to /usr/bin/emacs-w32.exe, regardless of which packages you've installed. 2. Install emacs-X11 if you want to use the X11 GUI with the GTK+ toolkit. (This is the default toolkit.) You can then type 'emacs&' in an xterm window, and emacs-X11.exe will start in a new window. If you prefer the Lucid toolkit, install emacs-lucid instead. 3. Install emacs-w32 if you want to use the native Windows GUI instead of X11. 4. If you use the Emacs MH-E library for email, consider installing Cygwin's mailutils-mh package. To use it, put the line (load "mailutils-mh") in your site-start.el or ~/.emacs file. 5. If you have sshd running and want to be able to run emacs-X11 from a remote machine, you need to enable X11 forwarding by adding the following line to /etc/sshd_config: X11Forwarding yes You might also need to have the cygserver service running. 6. The script /usr/bin/make-emacs-shortcut can be used to create a shortcut for starting emacs. See /usr/share/doc/emacs/README.Cygwin for details.
