Stuck trying to reinstall Emacs 23.0.92 and setup dying each time

2009-07-01 Thread KARR, DAVID (ATTCINW)
I had set up Cygwin yesterday with the experimental Emacs 23.0.92. I had done other updates after that, forgetting the fact that since I'm using an experimental package, I have to set the Emacs-related pages to "Keep". I'm now in a state where I have the 23.0.92 executable, but with /usr/share/em

I'm guessing you weren't using the Cygwin-built xemacs. I use Xemacs built for Cygwin, and I haven't been able to send signals to subprocesses for a long time. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edwin Goei > Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2

RE: xargs gives grep/gawk too much

If the point of this note is to get your pipeline to work, would it help if you added something like "-n 30" to the xargs command? This should execute one instance of 'grep -l -e "error '1234567890'"' for every 30 lines of output from the previous pipe entry. $ echo path/* | \

Any way to get cpu usage % of a process in Cygwin/windows on the command line?

2006-02-01 Thread Karr, David
Is there any way to get the CPU usage percentage of a process in Cygwin or Windows, in a script? The "ps" command in Cygwin is based on SYSV ps, which doesn't appear to show the CPU usage (whereas BSD ps does). Task Manager shows what I need, but I don't know how to get that in a script. The Sysi

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

I have a desktop icon for running Xemacs 21.4.13. This has been working 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 directl

Cygwin app to assess raw typing speed, as opposed to typespeed game?

Is there a Cygwin/gcc app that can assess raw typing speed, as opposed to the typespeed typing game? I'm looking for something that just has rows of words and/or short phrases (that aren't moving around the screen: ) ), and you just type exactly what's on the page. -- Unsubscribe info: http:

RE: Subversion eol-corrupting jar files on update

If the Cygwin port of subversion is really just using the mount mode to determine this, then that seems like a bug to me. Someone else pointed out to me that subversion is able to determine that the "mime-type" of ".jar" is "application/octet-stream", and that should imply that it should do no fil

Subversion eol-corrupting jar files on update

2004-07-18 Thread Karr, David
I'm having trouble with the svn in Cygwin corrupting jar files on update or checkout. It's doing an eol translation. I've specified ".jar" in my svn properties, to indicate that it should use the "eol-type" of "native". My "mount" table shows everything in "textmode". Do I have to change to bin

I have version 1.3.22 installed on another box. On a new box, I decided to go for broke and install 1.5.5. Unfortunately, as others have described, Xemacs doesn't work in this Cygwin version. I need to somehow uninstall what I have and install version 1.3.22. I've perused the FAQ and install in
