Hello. emacs_dir is a special environment variable on Win32. If Emacs.exe is located in a "bin/" directory, it will be calculated, which is not a desired behavior at all times. One might want to use it in msys and organize the emacs files in a way similiar to that of *nix systems. To fulfill this, one might want to set emacs_dir to the *:/share/emacs/<version>/ directory. This works unless the emacs.exe is in the *:/bin directory(in fact any directory which is not with the name "bin" or "i386"). in src/w32.c, the existing code > _snprintf (buf, sizeof (buf)-1, "emacs_dir=%s", modname); > _putenv (strdup (buf)); will override this settings directly, but i think to modify the env_vars[] array, which is a copy of dflt_envvars[], should be the correct behavior. something like: > for (i = 0; i < N_ENV_VARS; i++) > { > if(strcmp(env_vars[i].name, "emacs_dir")==0) > { > env_vars[i].def_value = <somewhere on stack>; > } > } may solve this.
