Background: Recently, I've been setting up a Haskell compilation environment with Emacs on Windows. The project depends on diagrams-cairo, which depends on GTK+, so I have to build it via msys64 with MINGW. It works well in a non Emacs environment, so I'd like to adapt it to the Emacs environment. Everything is OK, except when I press 'g' in the *compilation* buffer. To simplify the problem, below only the minimal test is provided. Reproduce steps: 1. Create a file test.el in E:/tmp 2. Open that file and paste the following code ``` (defun my/compile () (interactive) (let ((shell-file-name "C:/msys64/usr/bin/bash") (compilation-environment "PATH=/mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl") ) (compile "ls") )) ``` NOTE: You can think of "ls" as a compilation command such as "stack build" in Haskell. 3. Evaluate Last S-expression. 4. M-x my/compile The *compilation* buffer lists the files normally. 5. Press 'g' in the *compilation* buffer, i.e. `recompile'. The expected behavior: List the files again. The actual behavior: Compilation exited abnormally. The problem is that `recompile' does not realize that `shell-file-name' has been updated to bash. It still uses the default cmdproxy. I have created a patch to workaround the issue. It remembers the original `shell-file-name' in `compilation-start', so we can use it when we `recompile'. Thanks.
