Re: mac/INSTALL needs editing

[Gilbert Harman <harman@Princeton.EDU>]

I do not have X Window installed, but
I just tried the following on the current CVS emacs:

 ./configure --without-x --enable-carbon-app
 make bootstrap
 sudo make install

It did result in a usable Emacs.app in /Applications:
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.2.0) of 2005-08-10 on
Gilbert-Harmans-Computer.local
