| e0f712ba | 17 | This directory contains the files needed to build Emacs on the Mac OS |
| 81fa735d YM |
18 | Classic and Mac OS X. Many of the major features of the Unix version |
| 19 | are supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of | |
| 20 | the mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and | |
| 21 | coding systems. | |

22 | |
| 23 | Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder, | |
| 24 | transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and | |
| 25 | sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs. | |
| 26 | ||
| 81fa735d | 27 | The following are not supported on Mac OS Classic: unexec (dump-emacs), |
| e0f712ba AC |
28 | asynchronous subprocesses (start-process), and networking |
| 29 | (open-network-stream). These features work fine on Mac OS X. | |
| 1a578e9b | 30 | |
| e0f712ba | 31 | There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) on |
| 81fa735d YM |
32 | Mac OS Classic (non-Carbon build only) although Unix commands that are |
| 33 | used will need to be ported. | |

35 | MPW-GM (August 2001) can be used to build Emacs on the Mac OS Classic. |
| 36 | On Mac OS X, Emacs can be built using the Developer Tools. See the | |
| 37 | INSTALL file in this directory for instructions on building Emacs. | |

39 | Read the Mac OS section of the on-line help to find out about how to |
| 40 | use Emacs on the Mac. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | A number of things do not work yet: | |
| 43 | ||
| 81fa735d | 44 | + Support for PostScript image type is not available. |
| e0f712ba | 45 | |
| 47600d8e ST |
46 | + Incorporate Apple's wrappers to be able to create a universal |
| 47 | binary that unexecs on first run for the given architecture. | |

49 | If your Mac is connected to the Internet, report bugs by typing `M-x |
| 50 | report-emacs-bug' or by choosing the entry `Send Bug Report...' in | |
| 51 | the `Help' menu. This will send the bug report to the address | |
| 52 | emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org. | |
