| e0f712ba | 8 | This directory contains the files needed to build Emacs on the Mac OS |
| 81fa735d YM |
9 | Classic and Mac OS X. Many of the major features of the Unix version |
| 10 | are supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of | |
| 11 | the mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and | |
| 12 | coding systems. | |

| 14 | Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder, | |
| 15 | transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and | |
| 16 | sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs. | |
| 17 | ||
| 81fa735d | 18 | The following are not supported on Mac OS Classic: unexec (dump-emacs), |
| e0f712ba AC |
19 | asynchronous subprocesses (start-process), and networking |
| 20 | (open-network-stream). These features work fine on Mac OS X. | |
| 1a578e9b | 21 | |
| e0f712ba | 22 | There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) on |
| 81fa735d YM |
23 | Mac OS Classic (non-Carbon build only) although Unix commands that are |
| 24 | used will need to be ported. | |

26 | MPW-GM (August 2001) can be used to build Emacs on the Mac OS Classic. |
| 27 | On Mac OS X, Emacs can be built using the Developer Tools. See the | |
| 28 | INSTALL file in this directory for instructions on building Emacs. | |

30 | Read the Mac OS section of the on-line help to find out about how to |
| 31 | use Emacs on the Mac. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | A number of things do not work yet: | |
| 34 | ||
| 81fa735d | 35 | + Support for PostScript image type is not available. |
| e0f712ba | 36 | |
| 47600d8e ST |
37 | + Incorporate Apple's wrappers to be able to create a universal |
| 38 | binary that unexecs on first run for the given architecture. | |

40 | If your Mac is connected to the Internet, report bugs by typing `M-x |
| 41 | report-emacs-bug' or by choosing the entry `Send Bug Report...' in | |
| 42 | the `Help' menu. This will send the bug report to the address | |
| 43 | emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org. | |
