Why I can't publish my project under Windows?

Why I can't publish my project under Windows?

[Water Lin]

I can publish my org projects under Ubuntu but I can't publish it under
Windows. All settings are the same especially the home directory. I have
set the home path for different platform.

While I publish my org project under Windows, Emacs reminds me following
errors:
==========================
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Searching for program" "no such file or directory" "touch")
  call-process("touch" nil 0 nil "e:/water/My Dropbox/EmacsHome/.org-timestamps/X25e4900e8c818b67efbd6a89083ad0458650dbfa")
  org-publish-update-timestamp("e:/water/My Dropbox/EmacsHome/org/notes/index.org" "e:/water/My Dropbox/EmacsHome/org/private_html/notes/" org-publish-org-to-html)
=========================

What's the meaning of .org-timestamps folder? What's wrong with my
system?

BTW: why I also can't publish projects with Chinese folder under
Windows? How can I set it?

Thanks

Hi Walter,

you are not using the most recent version of Org-mode. "touch" was  
needed earlier, but if you get the latest version from git, it is no  
longer necessary.

The .timestamps directory is used to record information about files  
already published.

               ^^^^^^^^^
why do you have the word "touch" in your configuration?
Do you call the "touch" program under GNU/Linux? 
Do you have it installed under Windows?

from the description of the variable:

  "Name of directory in which to store publishing timestamps."

Do you have it *in your home* under Windows?

Could you, please, customize the org-publish-use-timestamps-flag to nil

(defcustom org-publish-use-timestamps-flag t
  "When non-nil, use timestamp checking to publish only changed files.
When nil, do no timestamp checking and always publish all files."

to see if you still have the publishing problem?

cheers,
Giovanni

I am using Windows XP and not using Cygwin.

My org mode version is 6.31a which is binding with my Emacs 23.

I don't know why the word "touch" in my configuration. And I also don't
know if I use it under Linux.

I check my org mode configuration file, but I can't find any word like
"touch" in my org-sites.el file.

So, what's the function of this "touch" program?

What should I do now? Upgrade the org mode to latest version?

Thanks

It updates the modification time of its arguments to the current time.
It is used for timestamping. But I guess it does not exist on Windoze
(except for cygwin).

Yes. Did you see Carsten's message?

There are various equivalents.
