Just a quick note on building emacs-cvs (emacs23+) on Mac OS 10.6.
First, check emacs out:
$ mkdir Emacs; cd Emacs
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs-cvsOr check it out via Bazaar:
$ bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk emacs-bzr
Now create a scratch directory:
$ mkdir emacs-build
$ cd emacs-build
To build the mac App bundle of emacs:
$ ../emacs-cvs/configure --with-ns
$ make install
$ open nextstep/Emacs.app # just a test to confirm it works before installing
$ sudo cp -r src/Emacs.app /Applications
To build a more old school x11/commandline emacs as well as replacing the emacs22 that ships as the
default on Snow Leopard. This is my preferred install as I tend to stick to the commandline whenever possible:
$ ../emacs-cvs/configure --prefix=/usr --with-x-toolkit=no --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
$ make
$ ./src/emacs -q # just a test to confirm it's working before installing
$ sudo make install
Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteWhen I run the generated binary ./src/emacs, it launches a separate X11 instance. Is there any way to have emacs launch in the Terminal itself?
Ah, just do ./src/emacs -nw.
ReplyDelete-nw stands for "no window" I think.
Hope you're enjoying Emacs!
Under OSX 10.6.5, I get the following:
ReplyDeleteconfigure: error: I couldn't find termcap functions (tputs and friends).
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing? Try installing
libncurses-dev(el), libterminfo-dev(el) or similar.
Where would I get these?
@kds:
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply, I had comment moderation on and no notifications setup so it languished for a while.
Hopefully you've already sorted out your issues but I think you'll want to look into grabbing Fink and installing it.

Then you should be able to do:
$ fink install ncurses-dev
