I installed ecl on cygwin and cygwin emacs starts ok with it
but in windows emacs it is polling forever.
I put cygwin's bin directory in windows path.
What could be the cause of this ?

Thanks

1- I use emacs on cygwin/X without any difficulty.
2- I use clisp on cygwin/X without any difficulty.
3- I use inferior-lisp to communicate between emacs and clisp on
cygwin/X without any difficulty.

So that should put some optimism in here.

Notice that in all cases, I avoid mixing MS-Windows stuff with cygwin
stuff.


(I also tried the MS-Windows binaries of emacs, and it works too, but
it's a MS-Windows application (eg. shell runs COMMAND.COM or whatever
they have on MS-Windows). I guess one could use it to run clisp
MS-Windows binaries too).


I never tried ECL on MS-Windows or cygwin. My advice would be just to
keep clearly separated MS-Windows stuff from cygwin stuff.

There is *inferior-lisp* buffer which should show relevant information about
this.

My guess is that SLIME version is different, but this can be anything...
