This directory contains the files needed to build Emacs on the Mac OS
|
|
8/9 and Mac OS X. Many of the major features of the Unix version are
|
|
supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of the
|
|
mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and coding
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder,
|
|
transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and
|
|
sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs.
|
|
|
|
The following are not supported on Mac OS 8/9 : unexec (dump-emacs),
|
|
asynchronous subprocesses (start-process), and networking
|
|
(open-network-stream). These features work fine on Mac OS X.
|
|
|
|
There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) on
|
|
Mac OS 8/9 although Unix commands that are used will need to be
|
|
ported.
|
|
|
|
Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 6 or MPW-GM (August 2001) can be used to
|
|
build Emacs on the Mac OS 8/9. On Mac OS X, Emacs can be built using
|
|
the Developer Tools. See the INSTALL file in this directory for
|
|
instructions on building Emacs.
|
|
|
|
Binary distributions will be available in
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mac/emacs/
|
|
|
|
Read the Mac OS section of the on-line help to find out about how to
|
|
use Emacs on the Mac.
|
|
|
|
A number of things do not work yet:
|
|
|
|
+ Emacs does not respond correctly to C-g under certain circumstances.
|
|
Sending the Emacs process a SIGINT externally will cause it
|
|
to interrupt. This is due to the architecture of OSX's
|
|
Window Manager.
|
|
|
|
+ Support for certain image types (such as XPM) is not as extensive as
|
|
on other plaforms.
|
|
|
|
If your Mac is connected to the Internet, report bugs by typing `M-x
|
|
report-emacs-bug' or by choosing the entry `Send Bug Report...' in
|
|
the `Help' menu. This will send the bug report to the address
|
|
emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.
