Every three years or so I have to set up a new laptop, and several things
that I only do in that period I either lose the notes on it, or something
has changed that I'm not aware of.
I'm installing Cygwin on a new laptop, version 3.5.0-1.x86_64. I had 3.4.6
on the old laptop.
My desktop shortcut on the old laptop goes to:
C:\cygwin64\bin\run2.exe --display 127.0.0.1:0.0 /usr/local/bin/emacs.xml
I tried to set this up on the new laptop, and I noticed that "run2" doesn't
exist, but "run" does. I tried just changing the command line to call "run"
instead, but that resulting command line doesn't appear to do anything. No
errors, just returns to the prompt and nothing happens.
Different program with different requirements - run is part of Base cygwin,
installed by default, not a lot else is except for install requirements,
{core,cyg,diff,find,ipc-}utils, util-linux, and ex/vi.
Package run2 has to be selected in Cygwin Setup, as does xinit to install the X
server and run Cygwin GUI programs.
I tried googling for this, and I found a page on the EmacsWiki, but I can't
tell if that is up to date.
