My question is now is how do I uninstall both emacs (apple's and
compiled) from my system.
There is no sense in wiping Apple's old Emacs. It's part of the OS
Ideal of having Emacs in Application Support is appealing to me,
because I want to keep things structured OS X style =D.
/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs is meant to contain local
additions, like for example AUCTeX (not the application). The Carbon
Emacsen and other variants can be created as a "light" application
bundle, one that does not contain the whole ELisp trees. I did it by
first making the bootstrap target for an X client Emacs. Then I made
the light application bundle (mac/make-package does this job somehow
by using the proper configure options), just a simple make. This
process creates a PKG file inside a DMG archive. Open and install. It
installs a /usr/local/bin/emacs that does not seem to work, so the X
client is made again (plain, no bootstrap), which easily works
because its configuration was not changed since bootstrapping it.
Then install this one. You'll have the X client /usr/local/bin/emacs
and the Carbon /Applications/Emacs.app.
