Hello there.
I have just used the emacs-21.1-2-mac.patch to compile the source
distribution of emacs-21.1 for mac-os-x-1. I have read throughly the
readme, and followed the instructions carefully; my machine has 640 MB,
and has XDarwin installed.
However, attempting to launch the Emacs.app from the Finder, through
doubble-clicking on the icon, results in a stalled launch of emacs,
which does nothing and can only be dealt with through explicitly forcing
it to quit.
I can launch emacs-21 through emacs -nw from the command line, and with
the suggested lines to ~/.termcap I see a functioning editor with
font-lock colours displayed, ispell , tex modes, and shell modes
working. However, this method of running emacs does not launch new
frames. Moreover, the function keys f1 through f4 are seen as kp-f1
through kp-f4, and the functions f5 and above are not seen at all. Since
f5 through f9 are the emacs recomended function keys reserved for local
use, this is a most unfortunate situation.
So, the question is simply: Am I missing something here?
For example, does this patch actually work with os-x-1; is there some
keyboard parameters I need to set correctly; and so on.
On the whole, good work andrew choi and others. Emacs working in an Aqua
interface is a much nicer result than maintaining an old technology X11
interface. The fonts are much more readable!
Thanks in advance
Tom Winchester
