EmacsWiki: NTEmacs With Cygwin
This is great!!!
Now I can do “Search Files…” in Emacs’s dired-mode again — just like “everywhere”.
How to get it to start in the user’s home directory? Create a shortcut for runemacs.exe, move it to AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ ! Modify the properties of that shorcut accordingly!

GNU Emacs for Microsoft Windows resp. Mac OS X
- http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596006488 – “Learning GNU Emacs“
The quoted book points for Mac OS X and Windows implementations exclusively to these web pages, but pls regard both as outdated:
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/nqmacs/
- http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/carbonemacspackage.html
Update:
As of 2016-01 here are the best sites for Windows “Emacsen”:
- cygwin provides w32 and also X11 binaries — I am about to give them a try
- http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/?EmacsForWindows
- http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/emacs-bin/ – !!! – seems to be bleeding edge
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/emacsbinw64/ (have not tried it yet)
- http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ – a little outdated, but not too bad
- https://code.google.com/p/emacs-for-windows/ – rather outdated
As of 2016-01 here is my favourite site for Mac OS X “Emacsen”:
- http://EmacsForMacOSX.com – seems to be bleeding edge – they have RSS feeds for misc. variants
