Today I had to install AucTeX to use on my Win7/64 machine under EmacsW32. I found the basic instructions here: http://www.sturmnet.org/blog/2007/09/01/installing-auctex-in-emacsw32, but I had to modify them a bit (in particular, I am using tetex installed from cygwin instead of MiKTeX). Here are the commands I used:$ mkdir -p /usr/local/share/texmf
$ ./configure --prefix='c:/Program Files (x86)/Emacs/emacs' --with-texmf-dir='/usr/local/share/texmf' --with-lispdir='c:/Program Files (x86)/Emacs/emacs/site-lisp'
$ make
$ make installI then added the following lines to my C:\Program Files (x86)\Emacs\site-lisp\site-start.el file:(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
(eval-after-load 'info
'(add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "c:/Program Files/Emacs/share/info"))
(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)Everything seems to be working properly, even preview-mode.

via https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/spotlight-use-package-a-declarative-configuration-tool
Have you ever heard of use-package? It’s a declarative way of expressing package configuration in Emacs but without the tears. This looks amazingly useful. I need to start migrating my Emacs config to use-package ASAP.
Fixing Emacs problems with the fish shell
I started getting errors from the TRAMP Emacs package because I was using fish as my default shell, and it does not recognize certain standard syntax elements (such as && to separate commands), and Emacs runs subcommands under the default shell. I fixed this by:
