I haven't tried it that way, but you should be able to use fink to build an emacs x11 client in darwin/osx. You can certainly build an xemacs x11 client this way. Currently xemacs is a little easier to build as an x11 client in osx than fsf emacs is. You might also consider building the carbon version of emacs mentioned earlier. This uses the native mac window system. Earlier incarnations of this were flakey but if you use the current cvs sources, the result is quite stable and generally very nice. I'm using it compose this article (via slrn, which I installed using fink). Since it's carbon, you can presumably also run it in old macos, though I've never bothered to try. Of course if you want to run it remotely, the carbon build won't do you any good. I currently have three emacs-en on my osx boxes: emacs 21.1.1 as supplied by Apple; xemacs 21.4.9, which I use when I'm connected remotely and I want a window'd emacs; and a carbon build of emacs 21.3.50.1, which I use for most editing when I'm at the console. -- d f-d
