RE: [h-e-w] bash commands

[Flynn, Michael]

Hi,
I have the cygwin bin and the emacs bin in my PATH and this in my _emacs
(given to me by someone on this list):

;; Shell stuff
;; These few lines are needed so that we can do shell-command and shell
(setq binary-process-input t)
(setq shell-file-name "bash") 
(setq shell-command-switch "-ic") 
(setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name) 
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "bash") 
(setq explicit-sh-args '("-login" "-i")) 
(setq w32-quote-process-args ?\") ;; Use Cygnus quoting rules. 
(setq shell-multiple-shells t) ;; generate a new shell each time. 

;; end Shell stuff

I can run all shell commands and I can start a shell and run anything in it.

I hope this helps.

Good luck,

Michael
