Hi. I've been mostly around Sun machines for a long time, then Linux, and now more recently Mac OS X (on a TiBook). Trying to get latest CVS Emacs going. I installed texinfo, textutils, and ispell without problems. (I debated whether to use Fink or not, but in the end blew it off for now. Mainly I'm just eager to get this Emacs going.) I then did a configure on Emacs followed by 'make bootstrap'. It *seemed* to compile just fine. After the 'make install', when I try to start up emacs without any arguments, I get: % emacs Fatal error (6).Abort However, if I do 'emacs -nw', then it comes up just fine: GNU Emacs 21.2.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin5.4) Thoughts? Is there a 'truss' or 'trace' on OS X? So far haven't found anything like that. Pointers of where to look? -- Amos |

If you want a non-graphical emacs, i.e. running in a Terminal windows: emacs -nw is the proper invocation. If you want a GUI emacs you jave to start the Emacs.app in the mac subdirectory. Either double-click or start it from a Terminal with open Emacs.app. And you normally would copy it to /Applications or some such. Be careful to copy and not to move, otherwise you get problems if you want to recompile. -- Piet van Oostrum <pi...@cs...> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP] Private email: P.v...@hc... |

Only happens in GUI mode, it works fine in a terminal window. Well actually, it works fine in the GUI mode too, it is just that anything else is slow while it is running. Has anybody else noticed this ? Didier |

The patch below fixes the problem. I'll check in into the CVS when I
can.

Thanks! Cool. It works now. :-) Perhaps the mac/INSTALL file should mention this with a little: cd mac sudo cp -r Emacs.app /Applications Or maybe just have 'make install' do this? Next question: when I go into info mode the links are a series of boxes. I guess this is the font bold / italic stuff that I noticed folks talking about (viewed from list archive)? I downloaded these GNU-Fonts that are referenced, but not sure just where to install them. I have a feeling that maybe my Emacs doesn't see them? Oh, we need to get the GNU image and use that as the icon. That would be cool. Are there thoughts of eventually implementing the tool bar? I have to admit it's not something I've tended to use a lot, but I imagine it would sure look nice on Aqua. Now to see if I can get CVS gnus installed.... -- Amos |

I put it in my Mac OS 9 System Folder so both system 9 and X can see it. You can try putting it in ~/Library/Fonts/ for that user to see it or /Library/Fonts/ for all users to see it. To check whether Emacs is aware of a font, use the x-list-fonts function, e.g., (x-list-fonts "*fixed*160*") > Oh, we need to get the GNU image and use that as the icon. That > would be cool. I'm designing a new one. In the mean time, you can put any .icns file you like in Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/. |
