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?
