Just wanted to recommend



https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus <https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus>



It has 28, 29 and master (30) + support for native compilation which

homebrew Emacs casks don't have at all. It works perfectly, for many

years.



I tried this and I get different strange behavior.  Starting emacs from the shell generates some warning messages to the shell and brings up the GUI.  When it is launched, an icon shows up in the Dock (good).  And I click the Options|Keep in Dock option – as my whole goal here was to be able to start from the Dock.  When I exit Emacs, the dock icon goes away (despite the “keep in dock”).  So I still can’t start emacs from the dock;



What gives?
