Emacs for Mac

Emacs for Mac

[Alberto Simões]

Hi

For some time that the emacs I use on my Mac is a hand compiled one. CVS 
checkout, disable X11, enable Carbon.

Now, I have a new mac, and thus, I need to recompile Emacs. CVS checked 
out, configure and... Carbon is deprecated.

The question is: it is deprecated and no other solution is being developed?

And yes, there is aquamacs that sucks because tried to mimic mac-os 
specific key bindings, and there is emacs.app, that is the one I am 
using, but that is damn slow with flyspell (slower on my macbook pro 
than the hand built one on powerbook).

Thanks for any pointer.
Alberto

I think it will exist. In the meantime you can use Emacs.app, the  
Cocoa side of GNU Emacs, at least a bit brighter than Carbon: http:// 
emacs-app.sourceforge.net/

Updating its code to CVS status of Unicode Emacs 23.0.60 does not  
really work, because the code changes in 23.0.60 are quite erratic. I  
think when you'll update Emacs.app to some date after November 2007  
it won't compile anymore ...

The consensus (as I recall, this was a recent discussion with a LOT of
messages) was that after the next release of Emacs the Carbon/Cocoa
issue would be reconsidered, and probably the Cocoa port would be merged
in to replace the Carbon port.  Meanwhile the CVS Carbon port is
deprecated and keyboard input there is broken AFAIK.

Emacs.App is the Cocoa port that's being considered.  It has a mailing
list and lots of helpful users, so post about your flyspell problem
there and you should get a reply.

the macports package worked well for me.

Which package? Emacs.app (rc 1, 2, or 3?) or GNU Emacsen  
23.0.50/23.0.60? Do MacPorts have a page that describes all their  
packages?

Emacs for mac

[macandal--- via Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor]

I'm running version 11.1, Big Sur. I installed the binary version 27 but my OS won't open it because it needs to be updated but I can't upload that version. From what I've read, I should be able to use the latest version of Emacs with Big Sur, how do I circumvent this problem? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Where did you get the binary? That information might help folks on the
list diagnose the problem.
