? OSX compile from CVS (and some setup questions)

[Heiko Hellweg]

I tried (and failed) to build my own Emacs on Mac OSX.2 
directly from CVS (checked out today: 11th. of Nov. 2002)
as described on http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/:

--->
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
  cd emacs
  ./configure --with-carbon --without-x
  make bootstrap
<---

wich came up with the following error:

--->
Compiling /Users/hh/tmp/emacs/emacs/lisp/progmodes/cc-mode.el
>>Error occurred processing 
>>/Users/hh/tmp/emacs/emacs/lisp/progmodes/cc-mode.el: Symbol's function 
>>definition is void ((char-table-p))
make[1]: *** [compile] Error 1
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
<---

Is this a known bug in the current CVS? Or is there something obvious 
i missed? I checked the recent emacs-devel archive 
(http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/emacs-devel/2002-November/thread.html), 
but most (end users) comilation problems there seemed to center
on trying just 'make' without the bootstrap ...

Failing that, i got myself a precompiled binary version
(GNU Emacs 21.3.50.2 (powerpc-apple-darwin6.1)) from 
http://www.webweavertech.com/ovidiu/emacs.html (which i'm using
right now in conjunction with gnus...) and - well - i've still
got some questions:

first of all: when i start emacs from the commandline (Aqua or
tty via '-nw') with a filename as parameter, as in
        /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -nw textfile.txt
it starts up showing the general info (the usual 20 or such lines: 
"Welcome to GNU Emacs ...") and only shows the contents of textfile.txt
after i pressed some key. 
That is quite irritating. Is there a way to turn this of?

second: running that emacs on the tty, it seems not to honor
my colorized vt100 terminfo entry:

The apple supplied emacs (GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin6.0)),
and a fink installation of (GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin, X toolkit))
[see http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/section.php/editors] used color for
font-lock-mode , while the Aqua 21.3.50.2 build reverts to bold/underline
on the tty... 

I also tried the ~/.termcap suggestion from the (cvs source)/mac/INSTALL
file without success.

On the other hand, that 21.3.50.2 Aqua buld seems to be the only
one that accepts 8bit ISO8859-1 umlauts on the tty. the apple 
supplied version always cut of the high bit (e.g. 'ä'=0xe4 becomes
'd'=0x64)... anyone got an idea, why they won't accept, that Terminal.app
is 8 bit clean? 'stty -a' says, among other things:

--->
cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -mdmbuf
<---

... oh well ... seems like i'm stuck with either having color or umlauts 
on the tty... (yes: for some reason, i prefer tty emacs).

I hope, all that rambling makes sense.
