23.0.90; Mac 10.4.11 [PPC] installation does not create "<EMACS_DIR>/ 
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.

I think that should have been:

I found that this achieves the no-window mode just fine:

Thanks
