Find: Invalid parameter format

Question

I keep hearing that this is a problem with cygwin. This prevents emacs from working inside my cygwin. When I do a search on cli (not bash / cygwin), I get the same error no matter what I type. I read that this is a problem with creating a path in cygwin and that it should be added to the path. As you can see, this does it.

Here is my / etc / profile

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH
export PATH

Answer 1

The problem is that, like everyone else, emacs uses find.exe, which is provided by windows. To change this, you need to modify the% userprofile% .emacs file.

Emacs, .
