Hello,

does anyone have a working installation of Texmacs under Cygwin/Windows 7? I've been trying the last hours to get it running:

- The Cygtexmacs.zip package results in

when I try to run starttexmacs.bat.

- I installed the current stable version Cygwin 1.5 and Texmacs as a package. Then cygwin.bat and

Now Texmacs runs, but I cannot open any files on /cygdrive. I can see the base directories in /cygdrive; some of the directories behave normally but in most of them the box on the left side of the "open file" dialog is completely empty (not even ".."). Sometimes I get these:

As one would suspect, Texmacs does not show any files or subdirectories in /cygdrive/c; in /cygdrive/d it does show some folders.

- Cygwin 1.7 beta shows the same behavior. Additionally I got some "--output-dir switch not supported" messages (I don't remember the exact wording) during the first run which I couldn't reproduce afterwards.

This kind of frightens me, as I use Texmacs for all my daily work, and just upgraded to Windows 7. Is there anyone with a working installation?

Best Regards,
Jan
