Hi all, I've just installed Emacs-23-CvsP090630-EmacsW32-1.58 and everything seems to work well except one thing that I cannot start cmd-shell, error message say: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil How do I setup emacs to make cmd-shell work? Many thanks, -- -- Nguyen Anh Phu

Do you mean that you do "M-x cmd-shell"? In that case please note that cmd-shell is not a command defined in Emacs. It is defined in w32shell.el that comes with EmacsW32. However it should work. It works for me. Can you turn on debug-on-error and see if you can get a back trace with more information? Could you also try just "M-x shell"?

I'm not sure how to get back trace? I enabled global debug-on-error (in .emacs), then issue command "M-x cmd-shell", in mini buffer it just says "Wrong type argument: listp, "d:/apps/Emacs/EmacsW32/gnuwin32/bin/""(Continue reading)
Hello, I don't get the msys shell running in emacsw32. When I start the MSYS-Shell with Tools->W32 Shells->MSYS Shell, I get the following error message: Wrong type argument: listp, "C:\\msys\\bin" My .emacs file looks as follows: (custom-set-variables ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom. ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful. ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right. '(w32shell-msys-bin "C:\\msys\\bin") '(w32shell-shell (quote msys))) (custom-set-faces ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom. ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.(Continue reading)

I can't reproduce it though. Could you please tell me the value of load-path and exec-path?

The shell is normally something like c:\msys\bin\sh.exe

The shell is normally something > like c:\msys\bin\sh.exe ... but the value above should be a directory. In my case I have "C:\\msys\\1.0\\bin". Dirk, could you please tell us how you entered this value too? (It could be filled in automatically by EmacsW32 if you ask it to do so in the Customize EmacsW32 entry in the Options menu.)
