I have a desktop shortcut to run Emacs, using the following command line: ---------------------C:\cygwin64\bin\run2.exe --display 127.0.0.1:0.0 /usr/local/bin/emacs.xml---------------- This was working fine. I set this up quite a while ago, so I don't quite remember the circumstances of the pieces of this. I'm now setting up cygwin on a new box, with very similar configuration. Unfortunately, setting up Cygwin is something I don't do very often, and it's usually a year or more since the last time I did it. I've already reviewed the FAQ and User Guide for hints. When I first tried this command line, it failed without any good error messages. I later realized that one good reason it's failing is that "/usr/local/bin/emacs.xml" doesn't exist on the new box. I looked at this file on the old box, and it seems relatively simple, but is this a file I'm supposed to create myself? I don't remember doing this.You have to run the script /usr/bin/make-emacs-shortcut to create that file. See /usr/share/doc/emacs/README.Cygwin for details.
Ah, ok. Wouldn't it be a good idea for some of this information to be put into the generated file as a comment? That's a typical practice for generated text files.
