Hi, Leo <leoslists@letterboxes.org> was heard to say: > I try to use emacsclient with Cygwin emacs, but it does not > work. emacsclient returns: >> emacsclient: error accessing server file > "/cygdrive/c/home/.emacsdata/server/server" >> In my .emacs file of the running emacs instance I have the following lines: >> (require 'server) > (setq server-auth-dir "/cygdrive/c/home/.emacsdata/server/") > (server-start) I use only (server-start) in my .emacs, so emacsclient per see does work. Apparently it can't cope with your path specification. Does "~/.emacsdata/server/" work? Does "~/.emacs.d/server/" work? Also, it seems like the directory must exist on Windows before Emacs starts up, see this discussion (about halfway down the page): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/885793/emacs-error-when-calling-server-start regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
