Re: Emacs will not execute, always reports 24.5.1 as version

Thanks for the response. Same result with 'emacs -Q' as well, i'm afraid.


Then maybe an strace will help.  Please give the following command:

  strace -o strace.out /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe -Q

This is interseting.

$ strace -o strace.out /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe -Q
Segmentation fault

Is it emacs that's crashing or strace? You should be able to tell by looking for a *.stackdump file in the current directory.

If it's emacs, can you try running it under gdb to see if you can get a backtrace? (You would have to install gdb and emacs-debuginfo.)

My best guess at this point is that your problem is caused by https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda .

P.S. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and will have limited time to help you over the next couple weeks.
