* BUILDING EMACS ON MAC OS X
|
|
|
|
You should be able to build Emacs on Mac OS X by typing the following
|
|
commands at the top-level directory after the source distribution is
|
|
un-tarred.
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
The last step must be performed as root.
|
|
|
|
If you have X Window installed on your Mac and you are building Emacs
|
|
to run under Carbon and not X Window, you need to type `./configure
|
|
--without-x' instead of `./configure'.
|
|
|
|
You can type `make bootstrap' instead of `make' to rebuild everything,
|
|
including byte-compiling the Lisp files.
|
|
|
|
If you have not installed the GNU texinfo package on your system, the
|
|
build will complain that makeinfo cannot be found. Instructions for
|
|
installing the GNU texinfo package are given below. Alternatively,
|
|
you can type `make -k' instead of `make' and safely ignore the error
|
|
messages and use the existing info files.
|
|
|
|
After Emacs is installed, you can run it by typing `emacs -nw' from a
|
|
terminal (make sure your path contains /usr/local/bin) or by
|
|
double-clicking on mac/Emacs.app in the Finder. To start Emacs as a
|
|
GUI application from the terminal, the pathname to the executable in
|
|
the bundle, i.e.,
|
|
|
|
.../emacs/mac/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
|
|
|
|
must be typed to the shell to enable Emacs to locate its resources
|
|
correctly.
|
|
|
|
If you are building Emacs to run on Mac OS X and X Window, you need to
|
|
create a directory containing statically-linked X libraries.
|
|
|
|
sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/libstatic
|
|
cd /usr/X11R6/libstatic
|
|
sudo ln -s ../lib/lib*.a ../lib/X11 .
|
|
|
|
Instead of typing `./configure' above, type
|
|
|
|
./configure --without-carbon --with-x --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/libstatic
|
|
|
|
To use colors in a terminal, put the following lines in the file
|
|
~/.termcap and log in again.

|
|
|
|
To build a binary distribution of Emacs for Mac OS X, run the shell
|
|
script make-bin-dist in the `mac' directory. This will create a file
|
|
emacs-21.xx.yy-mac-bin.tar.gz.
|
|
|
|
To install the binary distribution, untar the file and run the shell
|
|
script osx-install in its top-level directory.
|
|
|
|
To build the `info' files, you need to install the texinfo software.
|
|
|
|
To install from source, obtain texinfo-4.2.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org or
|
|
a mirror. Un-tar it, enter its directory and type
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
The last step needs to be performed as root.
|
|
|
|
You may also like to install ispell, which will allow you to use
|
|
ispell and flyspell-mode. To install ispell from source, you first
|
|
need to install GNU textutils.
|
|
|
|
To do so, download textutils-2.0.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org or a mirror.
|
|
Un-tar it, enter its directory, type
|
|
|
|
./configure --host=powerpc-apple-bsd
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Again, the last step needs to be performed as root. Note that if you
|
|
run `make check', the test for `pr' will fail.
|
|
|
|
Get and un-tar ispell-3.2.06.tar.gz. Look for it here:
|
|
|
|
http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html
|
|
|
|
Go into its directory, type
|
|
|
|
cp local.h.samp local.h
|
|
|
|
Add a line `#define TERMLIB ""' to the end of local.h.
|
|
|
|
Set the environment variable TMPDIR to an existing directory. For
|
|
example since `/tmp' exists on my machine and I am using `bash', I
|
|
typed
|
|
|
|
export TMPDIR=/tmp
|
|
|
|
Run `make' and `make install', the latter as root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* BUILDING EMACS ON MAC OS 8/9
|
|
|
|
You can use either Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 6 or MPW-GM (Aug. 2001)
|
|
to build Emacs. MPW-GM can be downloaded free of charge from Apple.
|
|
|
|
In either case, you will need MPW-GM to build the make-docfile utility
|
|
and to generate the doc string file DOC.
|
|
|
|
### IMPORTANT ### You can use StuffIf Expander to decompress and untar
|
|
the distribution. However, you *must* set the radio button in the
|
|
Preferences->Cross Platform->Convert text files to Macintosh format to
|
|
"Never". Otherwise the compiled Lisp files will be corrupted.
|
|
|
|
(Optional) A subset of the fonts from the GNU intlfonts-1.2
|
|
distribution converted to NFNT format can be obtained from
|
|
|
|
ftp://mac-emacs.sourceforge.net/pub/mac-emacs/GNU-fonts.smi.bin
|
|
|
|
To build Emacs in the MPW Shell, simply set the directory to
|
|
...:emacs:mac: and build the target Emacs of the make file
|
|
makefile.mpw. I.e., execute the commands
|
|
|
|
make Emacs -f makefile.MPW > Emacs.MakeScript
|
|
Emacs.MakeScript
|
|
|
|
To build Emacs using CodeWarrior, start up the CodeWarrior IDE, choose
|
|
File->Import Project... and select the file cw6-mcp.xml. When
|
|
prompted to save the project, navigate to same directory as the file
|
|
cw6-mcp.xml, name the project emacs-cw6.mcp, and save it there. Then
|
|
choose Project->Make. Note that this does not build the DOC file. To
|
|
do so, use MPW and build the target "Doc" in makefile.MPW.
|
|
|
|
Once built, the Emacs application (Emacs CW or Emacs MPW) can be
|
|
launched where it is created.
|
|
|
|
To build an optimized version of Emacs in CodeWarrior, change the
|
|
value in the Emacs Settings->Code Generation->Global Optimization
|
|
dialog. To build a version for profiling, check the Profiler
|
|
Information box in the Emacs Settings->Code Generation->PPC Processor
|
|
dialog and include the Profiler PPC.Lib library.
|
|
|
|
* NOTES
|
|
|
|
Emacs should build and run on a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.6 - 10.1.
|
|
|
|
You will need around 100 MB of disk space for the source files and
|
|
intermediate files.
|
|
|
|
It will not run on machines running Mac OS 8/9 with more than 256 MB
|
|
of physical or virtual memory. It does not have this restriction when
|
|
it is run under Mac OS X. But the usual 128MB buffer limit of a
|
|
32-bit Emacs still exists.
|
|
|
|
Under Mac OS 8/9, there is no support for building the LEIM directory.
|
|
However, it can be built on Mac OS X or another platform and
|
|
transferred to the Mac.
|
|
|
|
On Mac OS 8/9, to use the same icon as when Emacs is built on Windows
|
|
NT, define GNU_ICON in mac/src/Emacs.r. Currently Emacs uses a
|
|
generic application icon on the Mac OS X. A better looking one is
|
|
coming soon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
Andrew.
