I get a dialog box on clicking the 'C source code'. I list the contents installed and find there's no src/ directory provided by the NetBSD pkg_add installer. MacPorts also does not provide the src/ directory in the emacs-mac-app, emacs-devel packages. Previously, when I was building GNU/Emacs directly from src the click on 'C source code' just worked. I now have in the .emacs: (if (version< emacs-version "27.0.50") (progn (package-initialize) (setq source-directory "~/opt/share/src/emacs-26.1/src")) (setq source-directory "~/opt/share/src/emacs/src")) the src/ directory is a 'git clone' covering for what's missing in from the installers. Those are *not* the C source files the package installer actually used. How should the .emacs file be structured to simultaneously work with 26 and 27's M-x customize?
