I develop gtk app under Windows and in order to run it I need start
Cygwin X Windows.
To start X Windows I use Makefile rule:
.PHONY: cygwin-startx
cygwin-startx:
XWin -multiwindow &
But when I invoke this target in native GNU Emacs
by M-x compile in *Compilation* buffer I see XWin output and compilation
not complete. So next M-x compile Emacs prompt
A compilation process is running; kill it? (yes or no)
I intuitively change command to
exec 1<&-; exec 2<&-; XWin -multiwindow &
and now Emacs compilation finished and server work in background.
I really don't understand what magic exec do.
Can anyone point me?
