Make a Cocoa package of emacs

Make a Cocoa package of emacs

Hello everyone,

I would like to make an Emacs.app Mac OS X package of the current CVS tree (
23.0.60.*)
I didn't find the old make-package --self-contained script to enable me to
do that.

Does anyone knows how to compile Emacs for Mac OS X without X but with Cocoa
or Carbon.

My current version of emacs is : GNU Emacs
22.2.50.1(i386-apple-darwin9.4.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 2008-07-17

Thanks you.
Best Regards

Rémy Hubscher

There is no Carbon variant of GNU Emacs 23. The Cocoa version,  
Emacs.app, can be easily built from configure (--help), then 'make  
bootstrap' and, when all went fine, 'sudo make install' and dragging  
Emacs.app from the nextstep subdirectory to /Applications or such.

Thanks you, I didn't know that nextstep was for MacOS X then I read  
the NextStep install and understood how to do :)

Arg, in this new version, I am in trouble !!

I don't know how to access the alternate key since alt is now map  
correctly.

When I press alt-( I get () instead of {

Do you know how I can access my Apple FR strange keys ?

Thanks :)

Have you found the preferences pane? There is also some extra  
documentation available.


My German keyboard layout is understood by Emacs.app when I have the  
German keyboard layout active, shown by a German flag in the menu  
bar, which is set in System Preferences.

In the documentation, I tried (setq mac-command-key-is-meta t) but it  
does not seams to work anymore.

Any tips ?

Regards

Rémy

I have a related problem: the keypad keys (e.g. / * + -) are interpreted
by Emacs.app (through C-h k) as the same keys on the main keyboard.
IOW, I can't map the keypad keys by themselves to a function.  Is there
a way to do that?

about half a year or a year ago, i had the same question and asked on
the mac emacs mailing list. The author of Emacs.app said it is a bug
and he didn't know how to fix it.

for me, i couldn't use Emacs.app until this is fixed...

For me it's inconvenient but IMHO the unlogged silent crashes I have
reported are much worse, since I actually lose state and work.

  (setq mac-option-modifier 'none)
  (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)

The first line solves your immediate problem, the second ensures you
still have a meta key.
