Thanks, Corwin. I started it with a Windows
shortcut that uses "Target:"
Z:\path\to\bin\runemacs.exe -Q --debug-init "w:\path\to\a\dir"
and that uses "Start in:" w:\path\to\a\dir
It seems to start OK but I get this warning repeated
periodically (forever) in buffer *Warnings*:
■ Warning (comp): x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-11.3.0: fatal error: cannot execute
'as': CreateProcess: No such file or directory
I haven't noticed other problems yet (with -Q), but
is the continual emission of that warning expected?
Clicking that black, square icon pops up this
question as a menu:
Suppress `comp' warnings?
_________________________
Yes, Ignore `Comp' Warnings Completely
No, Just Disable Showing Them
Quit And Do Nothing
I have no idea what any of that means. It doesn't
seem very helpful - no link to any other info etc.
I also notice that if I put point on that icon and
hit RET I get the question in the minibuffer, but
with the additional key `?' highlighted (no such
option in the menu version).
I hit `?' and this is shown in buffer *Multiple
Choice Help*:
Suppress `comp' warnings?
y: yes, ignore `comp' n: no, just disable q: quit and do
warnings completely showing them nothing
That "help" text seems worse than useless.
I guess this "help" is new UI intended to somehow
help users. To me it seems only to confuse and
obfuscate, and in a fairly heavy-handed way.
