Bundled grep.exe causes grep to fail · Issue #5 · GChristensen/rho-emacs (original) (raw)

Running M-x grep returns no results.

Attempting to run the bundled grep.exe from the command line pops up an error dialog saying that pcre.dll was not found. rho-emacs\utils\gnu contains pcre3.dll but not pcre.dll. The other exe files all successfully report --version.

A related issue is that I needed to modify the default command line in M-x grep to put double quotes around c:/Program Files/rho-emacs/utils/gnu/grep.exe as it contains a space.

I can work around this issue by calling the Cygwin grep on my PC.
