Termux emacs 26.1: 'dired-async-do-copy' does not copy files. #103

Open bokuno opened 6 years ago

In termux's latest emacs 26.1, I run 'dired-async-do-copy', found that it does not copy anything at all. the status in 'mode-line' shows '1 async job(s)...' then quickly turned to be '0 async job(s)'. then I went to check files and found that no files were copied.

Probably the emacs executable is not named "emacs" on such system ?

Hmm, after looking a little at what 'termux' is, I think the problem is that you can't run emacs -batch from such a terminal, (perhaps termux have a special command to call such executables like emacs in background. Only suppositions, I know nothing about termux and I have no ways to try.
