23.0.90; Mac 10.4.11 [PPC] installation does not create "/ bin/emacs" binary when built using "--with-ns", "--enable-ns-self- contained=yes" I built emacs 23 from source using: 1. ./configure --prefix /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS --with-ns --enable-ns-self-contained=yes --enable-cocoa-experimental-ctrl-g=yes 2. make 3. sudo make install 4. cp ./Emacs.app /Applications The problem is that there is no 'emacs' binary in the installation's 'bin' directory: only 'emacsclient' $ ls /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin b2m digest-doc etags hexl profile sorted-doc ctags ebrowse fakemail mac-fix-env rcs- checkin update-game-score cvtmail emacsclient grep- changelog movemail rcs2log vcdiff A *serious* drawback of this is that I cannot run emacs in terminal (non-windowed) mode.
