I don't run bash as my default shell under NTEmacs, and I can use ediff without
problems:
As far as I can remember (and a quick look round my config files shows nothing
to the contrary) all I did to set it up was:
- install cygwin
- add cygwin/bin to my default PATH. I do it to the system wide path 'cos I
like having the utilities there. You could try just adding it to emacs'
exec-path if you don't want to do it globally for some reason.
That's it. A quick test runing
emacs -q --no-site-file
followed by a successful 'ediff-files' would seem to support this.
