I use this option, but considerably simplify the previous steps by installing Homebrew (http://brew.sh/) on your Mac and, going to https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port and following instructions there: If you'd like to install with Homebrew, please $ brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport and then $ brew install emacs-mac The "emacs-mac-port" github repo contains a tree where all that patch magic has already been done. It also contains a Homebrew "recipe", which means, "brew install emacs-mac" should take care of configuring and building with appropriate options and placing the result in a reasonable place, which I think is /usr/local. It has the advantage that it can coexist with other "brew" installations of other emacsen, so you can decide which is best. You still need the latest Xcode to compile things with Homebrew however, so that step is common. João
