Enhanced Carbon Emacs (version 2.1, emacs 21.3.50.4) : trying to save as mac-roman

[Antoine Gautier]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1488 bytes --]

Hi all,

Here is a copy of a post I made on gnu.emacs.help, I am beginning to 
suspect that I either found a bug or that my installation is flawed.

I just installed Enhanced Carbon Emacs (version 2.1, emacs 21.3.50.4)
on mac os X 10.2.4, and I have no succes trying to save mac-roman
encoded files (saving as latin1 works fine).

I tried adding a number of things to my .emacs, such as

(prefer-coding-system 'mac-roman-mac)
(set-buffer-file-coding-system 'mac-roman-mac)
(set default-buffer-file-coding-system 'mac-roman-mac)

with no result. The files do get saved, but are unreadable by other mac
apps. Even re-opening them with emacs I get a bunch of ????'s (only
accentuated characters such as é, à, ô, etc. come out OK : 'été' gets 
saved as 'é?é').

Trying to set the coding from emacs (c-x ret f mac-roman) does not help 
either.

For some odd reason I can correctly open mac-roman files, but saving
them does not work.

Also : whenever I lauch emacs.app I get the following message on 
console.app :

## Component Manager: attempting to find symbols in a component alias 
of type (regR/carP/x!bt)

but lauching terminal.app does that too.

Maybe it has to do with the many emacs's installed in /usr/bin (?)

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

What Version of Emacs have you installed. CVS-Head from today or what?

I have the build from 17.02.2003 and i have no problems to save files
with mac-roman.

Is working very pretty to me.

I have all emacs-files installed in /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share.
That's the Default i think.

The problem arises with Enhanced Carbon Emacs (v. 2.1), distributed as 
a binary.

 From its page :

 >> This emacs is based on the standard emacs-21.3.50 CVS distribution

CVS version: 2002-12-01

-- see http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~franconi/enhanced-carbon-emacs/

Some friendly soul on gnu.emacs.help said it was a bug, fixed a few 
weeks ago. Since I am new to emacs + no guru with compiling, I will 
wait for the next binary update.

Thanks,

Antoine

Re: Enhanced Carbon Emacs (version 2.1, emacs 21.3.50.4) : trying to save as mac-roman

[Steven Tamm]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2925 bytes --]

The binary distributions of GNU Emacs on versiontracker are woefully 
out of date.  I had an email conversation with the guy who posted the 
"Enhanced Version" and we sort of agreed to disagree.  In any case, the 
version you have is almost 3 months old and many, many bugs have been 
fixed.

If you do not need to specialized LaTeX support in the "enhanced" 
version I would suggest pulling down the CVS,  following the directions 
at savannah:  See http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs .  Once you 
have that, and assuming you have installed the OSX developer tools, all 
you have to do is follow the directions in the mac/INSTALL, which 
contains the three commands you need to execute in the terminal.

The bigger question is what to do about the binary distributions of 
21.3 that are floating around with bugs that people report.  The ones 
on versiontracker all do the wrong thing, either include more than what 
is needed (like this one with TeX stuff), or less than what is needed, 
or install in the wrong place, like in /usr/bin.   I'm kind of 
regretting the whole make-package script.

Thanks for the instructions, but this seems to be beyond my abilities.  
I do not know what 'pulling down the CVS" means (OK, this is a devel 
list, but I got here trying to learn emacs...). Also, the main reason 
that I want to use it is for tex/latex.

Just a try : I d'loaded emacs-21.1.tar.gz (and emacs-21.2.tar.gz) from 
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/ and attempted to compile :

emacs-21.1 > ./configure --without-x  --enable-carbon-app
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin6.4
configure: error: Emacs hasn't been ported to `powerpc-apple-darwin6.4' 
systems.
Check `etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names.

I will wait for the next binary to come out, and see what you folks say 
about it.

How about making them obsolete?

Here's the real problem: there's a major unix platform out there that is 
not supported by any "released" version of Emacs. Its name is "Mac OS X".

The only reason I considered (and did) get on emacs's CVS repository is 
that it was at the time the only way to actually *get* a functional 
(windowed) emacs on OS X.

At this point, it works pretty well. The problems I encounter in external 
packages seem to be related to changes in the lisp code between 21.3 and 
21.4; fixing that most likely requires a release. (Example: JDEE became 
broken on Carbon Emacs during the past 3 months; it worked fine before).

How long until 21.4 is released?

21.2 it's been out for a year (well, its first birthday is in two weeks).
21.3 is in pretest since 2002/05/25 or so. It seems like it could hit
the streets Any Time Now. OTOH, that's been true for several months :)

There was a discussion about releases, etc. in November:

Only the CVS Version has support to build on MacOSX.

As Steven have said:
* I would suggest pulling down the CVS, following the directions
* at savannah: See http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs .

It's easy, give it a try, in terminal.app type

cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs login
When prompted for a password for anoncvs, simply press the Enter key.
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs

That'all you have to do. After Download you have the CVS-Head in your
Home-Dir ~/emacs to compile.

Enjoy
