Re: emacs-w32 not starting - missing dependency?

Hi all,

When I type 'emacs' at the bash prompt, emacs does not start and the
prompt re-appears very quickly as if nothing happened. 'emacs -Q' and
'emacs --version' do the same, nothing is printed.

My alternatives are set such that emacs points to emacs-w32. I also have
emacs-nox and that works fine.

If I run 'strace emacs-w32' I get an error dialog:

"The procedure entry point WebPDecode could not be located in the
dynamic link library C:\cygwin\bin\cygMagickCore-6.Q16-2.dll."

Is your installation of libMagickCore6_2 up to date?  I get

$ objdump -p /usr/bin/cygMagickCore-6.Q16-2.dll | grep WebPDecode
        48ee2c      8  WebPDecode

Is this a known problem? If not I can attach cygcheck.out and the output
from strace if that will help.

It's not a known problem.

It is now. I can reproduce the problem (only on 32-bit Cygwin). I'll look into it.

Ken
