emacs cvs on macosx

emacs cvs on macosx

[Flatman]

Hi

When building emacs from cvs on macosx I got this weird behaviour that the GUI window stays in the back while other windows overlap it.

Emacs works nice with -nw option
But when launched in Aqua/GUI, the app window can't be made frontmost :-(
Any idea ?


I build emacs this way :

export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
cd emacs
make distclean
./configure --enable-carbon-app --without-x

make bootstrap

# if all is ok then install if I want to
echo sudo make install

Maybe you executed a binary (such as /usr/local/bin/emacs) that was
not a part of a bundle.  Could you try `open /Application/Emacs.app' ?

With the following patch, Carbon Emacs falls back on terminal mode
when it is executed without a bundle.  I found a similar code in
mac_check_bundle (macterm.c), but it seems to be not in effect
currently.

Oops, /Applications/Emacs.app, of course.

One can also use `open -a Emacs'.

Thanks for the help
I deleted the cvs-dir and recompiled the stuff and now emacs.app works fine...
