Could you try the following patch?  I can't test it myself as I don't
have Leopard yet.

It compiles and runs, but there was an error at the end:

emacs runs from the command line in the terminal, but not as regularly  
with the graphical user interface.

make install fails, too.

I've just obtained and installed Leopard, so I'll look into the issue.

In the meanwhile you can run the bundled Emacs not only in the
terminal but also as a Carbon application just by complementing a
dummy bundle like the attached one, because Emacs shipped with Leopard
is actually configured with Carbon.

Re: make for emacs fails under OS X 10.5

[YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu]

This patch seems to work.  I've tested it only on PPC as I don't have
multiple licenses for Leopard.  Could you report the result if you
have Leopard on Intel Mac?

This patch works for me running Leopard on a mini Core Duo, Macbook Pro C2D,
and Mac Pro.

Just to clarify, the patch (thank you Yamamoto Mitsuharu!) works great
for Leopard on Intel Macs (mine is a Core 2 Duo iMac) when applied to
GNU Emacs 22.1 release.  The patch does allow GNU Emacs from CVS
(presently 23.0.50) to build (though configure doesn't properly set
HAVE_LIBRESOLV -- just add `-lresolv' to the temacs link rule in src/
Makefile).  However, Emacs 23.0.50 freezes on any sort of input.
Similarly, the patch allows Emacs-app rc2a to build and run, but as
with 23.0.50, it seems unusable.

Yes, same here... Typing any key, it takes several seconds to respond
again. Barely usable.

There are also lots of deprecation warnings when `make'. Looks like
dramatic codes need updating..

This has been reported to the emacs-devel mailing list repeatedly.  It
was probably introduced with the Unicode merge in August.  See the
emacs-devel archives or

http://www.nabble.com/23.0.50--MacOS-X-10.4%3A-very-slow-visuals%2C-multi-tty-patch-suspected-t4391080.html

Short answer: there's no solution yet.

Hmm, i'm running it happily now with: 

,----[ emacs-version ]
| GNU Emacs 23.0.50.9 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0)
| of 2007-10-20 on enjoy-life
`----

I built it on osx 10.4.10, with option, `--prefix=$HOME --with-carbon
--without-x'.

And the other thing is that i disable the fink in the `configure' file
by applying nofink.patch from carbon emacs 22.1. (since i couldn't even
bootstrap emacs with fink, and i also don't understand why people refuse
to remove it)

So i guess the slow responsiveness is introduced either by recent cvs
changes(20071020 - now) or osx changes(10.4 -> 10.5). 

Since I built cvs emacs regularly, looks like i could still run cvs
emacs built after 20071020, but i couldn't remember the exact revision
that introduced this problem. (And i have no osx 10.4 anymore..)

I use Darwin Ports, no Fink.  gcc comes from the Apple dev tools.

I am still experiencing the problem, and I'm pretty sure it hasn't
changed since August when I first noticed it.  Please try making a clean
build with any version between August and now, on OS X 10.4 or 10.5, and
you'll see the input problem.  If you really are not having the input
problem with the build you mention above, maybe it doesn't occur on PPC
platforms (i386 here).  I'm very curious about your build, because no
one else has reported success on MacOS as you have.

The last good build for me was 
GNU Emacs 22.1.50.2 (i386-apple-darwin8.10.1, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 2007-08-01 on tzz.local

and the last build I tried, which has the input problem:
GNU Emacs 23.0.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.0.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 2007-08-01 on tzz.local

It's definitely not OS X 10.4 vs 10.5.  I have observed the input
problem on both (10.4.10 and 10.5).

That's 2007-11-05 for the date, sorry:

Yes, i have no input problem too. I saw people talking about the input
problem on some mailing list, which i actually didn't know what they were
talking about.

But i only started to build emacs on my ibook since Sep (i installed
debian on it previously). So i don't know much about its previous
status. Maybe my success is due to ppc platform.

Anyway, i just bought a new macbook..I'll have to struggle to make it
work on osx as you guys too...

Can you determine which change caused the problem?

I can't exactly, since the unicode branch was merged when the problem
started happening.  This was discussed at length on the emacs-devel
mailing list, and there's a whole Carbon vs. Cocoa issue that's
complicating things (and making the Carbon port less desirable to
developers, apparently).  I know little about MacOS, Carbon, or Cocoa,
so other than testing fixes I'm not very useful there.  I hope to
eventually find the time to track what changed since August that's
causing the input problem.

You mean multi-tty.

For clarity: we are talking about the CVS trunk here, not the 22 branch.

Yes. The Mac Carbon port in the CVS trunk has known problems and is
effectively unsupported. Bug reports about it are not helpful, and
this is the wrong list for any discussion about it (or any other
problems in non-released versions of Emacs).

Sorry.  William Xu and slewsys@gmail.com brought up the CVS Carbon
issues, and I continued the discussion here instead of redirecting it.
