emacs-w32 not starting - missing dependency?

Hi all, When I type 'emacs' at the bash prompt, emacs does not start and the prompt re-appears very quickly as if nothing happened. 'emacs -Q' and 'emacs --version' do the same, nothing is printed. My alternatives are set such that emacs points to emacs-w32. I also have emacs-nox and that wo

Dependencies and GNOME

I just ran setup (2.870, 32-bit) and it installed a lot of GNOME software that I didn't have before and didn't ask for(e.g. Epiphany). My fault for clicking through I suppose without checking. Looking at dependencies in setup.ini I see xinit requires adwaita-icon-theme and that pulls in a load of

In my experiments, not calling pthread_mutexattr_init caused errors such that the final mutex was invalid and could not be locked. The difference between the explicitly initialised mutex and the statically initialised one is that the latter does get 'lazily' initialised when the mutex is first loc

VC integration in emacs has stopped working for me in the past few days. Using emacs debugger I found the last function call was to call-process which never returns. I can reproduce this by evaluating in Lisp Interaction mode (using ^J) (call-process "pwd" nil t) I would expect to see the PWD and
