Re: [Mac-emacs-users] what are different Emacs varieties for OS X?

[Andrew C. <ak...@sh...>]

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.
