Subject: Carbon Emacs won't start when installed in certain paths
Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 16:57:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18D251ED-7942-4A25-B989-32EF251DE0B1@gmail.com> (raw)
There is still the bug that the Carbon port won't start up when
installed in a directory that contains non 7-bit ASCII characters,
such as "Développement".
For the release, I would suggest to at least document this in
PROBLEMS (see below).
I recall that Yamamoto Mitsuharu had been looking into this. Mr
Yamamoto, would you like me to test your patch posted to -bugs on May
10th, and if so, does this replace the earlier patches you posted for
this bug?
