Hmmm... xemacs on cygwin seems to work great for me. The only crash I get is
if I try to cut a hugh buffer (20-50 meg worth of data). Xemacs never seems
to come back and I kill it. Perhaps I don't push it as hard as you do and
I'm easy to please with only needing scheme, ruby and verilog modes. The
only C I do is for microcontrollers and that is all on Linux. Aside:
wouldn't it be cool to program your ATMega microcontroller with Chicken :-)
As far as trying out an alternative to Xemacs, I don't see a need for me.
I'm curious can MinGW coexist peacefully with Cygwin or is there
substantial setup hassle?
My gripe is with chicken - 2.5 seems to have broken eggs on cygwin and
debian and I don't have time to figure it out and in the process of trying
2.5 I broke my older install. Grumble. I should have used stow or similar.
I'll get back to it next year :-)
Update: After writing the above I thought I'd take another look. Now on
linux at least everything seems to be working fine. I had to:
0. Clear out /usr/local/lib/chicken
1. Comment out the (use 'readline) stuff from my .csirc
2. Manually install easyffi before installing readline
Cygwin still doesn't seem to work, I get Error unbound variable and then a
bunch of glyphs. I'll try again later.
