OK-
It will build under 10.3.2 with XCode 1.1- I've done it.
1. Did you get it from CVS? You need the CVS version because that's
the one with the patches needed to compile on OS X.
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/
2. Do you want to compile it run under Aqua or under X11? There's a
special set of flags for ./configure to make this choice.
3. If you want it to run under Aqua, there are several prebuilt
binaries to choose from- from plain vanilla Emacs to "enhanced"
Emacs with AucTeX and such.
Start out with Andrew Choi's Web site:
http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/
and read his instruction on how to get and compile Emacs for OS X at:
http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/stories/obtaining-and-building.html
Note that there are changes: you do not have to get Texinfo first
as that's already installed in 10.3.2; the specific CVS command
is (or at least was):
cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emac
but ISTR that it changed; however, the CVS Web site gives the same
command arguments. The whole sequence looks like:
cd ..
export CVS_RSH="ssh"
cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
cd emacs
./configure --with-carbon --without-x
make bootstrap
sudo make install
Note that " ./configure --with-x --without-carbon" will build Emacs
for X11 instead of building a Carbon version for Aqua. That is
launched from within an xterm with the command "emacs"; you have to
have launched X11.app first.
Hope this helps!
