I need to get this built and running as soon as I > can :) OK- It will build under 10.3.2 with XCode 1.1- I've done it. 1. Did you get it from CVS? You need the CVS version because that's the one with the patches needed to compile on OS X. http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/ 2. Do you want to compile it run under Aqua or under X11? There's a special set of flags for ./configure to make this choice. 3. If you want it to run under Aqua, there are several prebuilt binaries to choose from- from plain vanilla Emacs to "enhanced" Emacs with AucTeX and such. Start out with Andrew Choi's Web site: http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/ and read his instruction on how to get and compile Emacs for OS X at: http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/stories/obtaining-and-building.html Note that there are changes: you do not have to get Texinfo first as that's already installed in 10.3.2; the specific CVS command is (or at least was): cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emac but ISTR that it changed; however, the CVS Web site gives the same command arguments. The whole sequence looks like: cd .. export CVS_RSH="ssh" cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs cd emacs ./configure --with-carbon --without-x make bootstrap sudo make install Note that " ./configure --with-x --without-carbon" will build Emacs for X11 instead of building a Carbon version for Aqua. That is launched from within an xterm with the command "emacs"; you have to have launched X11.app first. Hope this helps!
