   5 Compilation
   6 -----------
   7
   8 In the top-level directory, use:
   9
  10   ./configure --with-ns
  11   make -j2
  12
  13 Make the -j higher on multi-core systems, usually one higher than number of
  14 cores is best.
  15
  16 This will compile all the files, but emacs will not be able to be run except
  17 in -nw (terminal) mode.
  18
  19 In order to run Emacs.app, you must run:
  20
  21   make install
  22
  23 This will assemble the app in nextstep/Emacs.app.
  24
  25 If you pass the --disable-ns-self-contained option to configure, the lisp
  26 files will be installed under whatever 'prefix' is set to (defaults to
  27 /usr/local).  The bundle will be smaller, but depend on these resources (may
  28 require 'sudo' for "make install").
  29
  30 On OS X you can also open Cocoa/Emacs.xcodeproj and build it again there.  You
  31 may need to set some directories.  (Note, ZeroLink currently does not work
  32 with Emacs owing to the use of private_extern in the code as well as some
  33 other, unidentifiable problem.)  Before doing this you must run "make install"
  34 once as outlined above, to set up the lisp resources.
  35
  36 On GNUstep, you CAN'T use ProjectCenter, since PC cannot work with files
  37 outside of its project directory.

  40 Installation
  41 ------------
  42
  43 Move nextstep/Emacs.app to any desired install location.
  44
  45
  46 Distributions and Universal Binaries
  47 ------------------------------------
  48
  49 Building as outlined above will create ordinary binaries running on your
  50 architecture only.  To create universal binaries, set CFLAGS to include
  51 "-arch ppc -arch i386".
  52
  53
  54 Improve Ctrl-G Handling
  55 -----------------------
  56
  57 To enable a version of the code that handles ctrl-g more responsively in
  58 certain cases -- but may introduce other glitches -- pass
  59 "--enable-cocoa-experimental-ctrl-g" to configure.
