Hello,
I'm relatively new to OS X and I'm trying to install GNU Emacs. I've
followed the instructions in both the general INSTALL file and
nexstep/INSTALL, but after 'make', when trying the resulting program
by 'src/emacs -Q', I get the following error:
2012-04-08 17:28:26.604 emacs[26816:707] ERROR: Can't have a toolbar
in a window with <NSNextStepFrame: 0x1012390c0> as it's borderview
An Emacs window does appear, but the top is hidden behind the OS X
menu bar and can't be accessed. How can I fix this problem? My Mac is
running OS X Version 10.7.3.
Thanks a lot,
-Gaston

You should re-read nextstep/INSTALL. The compiled program is not run as
src/emacs.
If you still have trouble, write back with the exact steps you took.

The problem is that the top of the Emacs window appears hidden behind
the OS X menu bar and can't be accessed. The steps that I followed
are, in the top-level directory:
make distclean
./configure --with-ns
make install
I'm then opening the app by double-clicking it in the nextstep
directory. Again, I'm running OS X 10.7.3.

The first thing that comes to mind is that you can move the frame by
modifying frame-parameters.
Here is a simple command that I use to resize and reposition a frame:
(defun le::reset-frame ()
"when a bigger second monitor is disconnected, this is requireda
to bring back the window controls into
view."
(interactive)
(set-frame-size (selected-frame) 146 41)
(set-frame-position (selected-frame) 0 0))
I'm not familiar with this error message, the I last built the ns build a
few months ago without problems. I've since moved on to the Mac build,
which is better in EVERY way for me, so maybe you can try that? It's a
little bit more involved of a build process, but the end result has a much
more "Mac" feel than the ns build. The ns build also crashed with
"anything" completion usage for me several times a day, which has never
happened with the Mac build.
