Emacs doesn't run

[dpavlic]

Please forgive if I'm missing something, but emacs-nox (or w32) will not run. Doing a

pact install emacs

Seems to install the package, but trying to run emacs-nox will not work. Trying to run it from cmd prompt produces "The procedure entry point __cxa_atexit could not be located in the dynamic link library" although I'm not sure if that's relevant.

When I type "emacs-nox" it works perfectly. Here is the result of my pact find.

Searching for installed packages matching emacs:
emacs
emacs-w32
xemacs-emacs-common

Interesting. All looks good here

-rwxr-xr-x+ 1 pcuser None 11046429 Nov 14 17:03 /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe 

pact find gives me plenty of candidates:

emacs
emacs-auctex
emacs-debuginfo
emacs-el
emacs-gettext
emacs-ocaml
emacs-w32
emacs-X11
xemacs
xemacs-emacs-common
xemacs-mule-sumo
xemacs-sumo
xemacs-tags

But emacs nox will not work. This is a Windows 8.1 64 bit installation. Everything else works without much of a hitch (not that it's extensively tested -- my inability to run emacs is a serious problem). My next attempt will be to run vanilla cygwin, and see what occurs.

UPDATE: I've just installed a virgin cygwin, and no issues whatsoever with emacs.

This issue has also occurred in my environment that is Windows7 64bit.
I typed "emacs-nox", but it did not run. And no error message was displayed.

I have a very similar issue with installing the irssi package. The package installs, but when I run the command ">irssi" nothing happens, except for an $? that returns exit code 2. the binary has 777 for testing purposes, so that's not the issue.

It's related to #239 - a fix will come soon...

[tombujok]

Fixed in 1.1.0.
Release status: #266

[xinglinsky]

The problem happened again.

Still not working for me either.....

Happening to me too, on a fresh install.

here, same issue. Windows 10 on a fresh babun install.

Same issue on fresh babun installation.

Windows 7 SP1, 64-bit

While latest cygwin version is 2.11.2 as of 2019-01-02.

Issue #239 mentions dist-upgrade command, but I was not able to find it neither as part of babum command nor in tools directory.

So I downloaded setup-x86.exe from cygwin site and placed it to .babun/cygwin/setup directory and updated cygwin with this utility (verify paths used by cygwin setup).

Now:

{ ~ }  » uname -a                                                                        ~
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW L0162447 2.11.2(0.329/5/3) 2018-11-08 14:30 i686 Cygwin

But:

{ ~ }  » babun update                                                                    ~

  newest    [1.7.35]

Nevertheless emacs works now.

Issue #516 cygwin is not updated with babun update
The workaround is to run .babun/update.bat manually

After that, emacs is working again :)
