Re: what are different Emacs varieties for OS X?

Hi Mitchell,

Did you read the message I've just posted?  I've attached it at the
end.  Please also read the mac/INSTALL file.

It is not possible to build a single binary that will run under both
Aqua and X Window.  Two separate binaries can probably coexist on the
same system, but you'll have to try it yourself since I don't run X
Window on my Macs, and therefore I don't use the X Window version.

Every distinct Emacs port known to me that will run on Mac OS X are
listed in the `Links' section of the web page
http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/.  And that's probably a complete
list.

Andrew.

P.S. I am phasing out the use of the two mailing lists mac-emacs-users
and mac-emacs-devel at SourceForge.  Blah, blah, blah...

Hi Jeffery,

From mac/INSTALL:

  If you are building Emacs to run on Mac OS X and X Window, you need
  to create a directory containing statically-linked X libraries.

    sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/libstatic
    cd /usr/X11R6/libstatic
    sudo ln -s ../lib/lib*.a ../lib/X11 .

  Instead of typing `./configure' above, type

  ./configure --without-carbon --with-x --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/libstatic

I do not have more details because I do not run X Window on my Macs.
Of course you can always post to the newsgroups and perhaps others can
help.

Andrew.

P.S. I am phasing out the use of the two mailing lists mac-emacs-users
and mac-emacs-devel at SourceForge.  For questions like this, please
consider posting to the gnu.emacs.help newsgroup for help.  For other
matters related to Emacs for Mac OS X, see the suggestions on
http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/ on where to send them.  Thanks.
