I know there are several options to obtain a running GNU emacs of sorts. 1. Aquamacs (but this is based on GNU 25 and I am not sure what else it uses). 2. https://emacsformacosx.com/ (haven't tried it out) it is 27.1-1 which is pretty good. 3. Try the one shipped with fink (that fails at the moment), macports (next candidate) or homebrew (I am sceptical about that one since it does not rely on sudo) 4. Compile the latest master. This I want to do besides having an official GNU emacs. Lars does this regularly on MacPorts and it seems to work, so it tried to follow him but on fink But configure fails I tried ./configure --prefix=/opt/emacs28 --with-x-toolkit=athena --without-pop --with-mailutils Not sure about athena on fink, but it fails even before that. configure: error: The following required libraries were not found: gnutls Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing? To build anyway, give: --with-gnutls=ifavailable as options to configure. oub@Uwes-MacBook-Air emacs % fink install gnutls Password: Information about 11044 packages read in 5 seconds. Failed: no package found for specification 'gnutls'! I know on the list are some Mac Users, so any comments on these issues. Regards Uwe Brauer
