must install as root using the sudo command. However, it is not
recommended; see the notes section below for more details.
-The --enable-carbon-app specifies that the carbon GUI application

-different location, specify --enable-carbon-app=<mydir>
-
-If you have X Window installed on your Mac and you are building Emacs
-to run under Carbon and not X Window, you need to type `./configure

You can type `make bootstrap' instead of `make' to rebuild everything,

-After Emacs is installed, you can run it by typing `emacs -nw' from a
-terminal (make sure your path contains /usr/local/bin) or by

+typing `emacs' from a terminal (make sure your path contains
+/usr/local/bin) or a GUI application by double-clicking on
+/Applications/Emacs.app in the Finder. Even in the terminal version,
+some Carbon-specific functions such as `mac-set-file-creator' are
+still meaningful.

+To start Emacs as a GUI application from the terminal, the pathname to

+standard Emacs options when invoking Emacs in this way.
- sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/libstatic
- cd /usr/X11R6/libstatic
- sudo ln -s ../lib/lib*.a ../lib/X11 .
+Emacs on Mac OS X is not configured to use X11 unless either it is
+requested or the use of Carbon is disabled explicitly. So, if you are
+building Emacs to run on X Window System, you need to specify like:
-Instead of typing `./configure' above, type
+ ./configure --with-x
- ./configure --without-carbon --with-x --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/libstatic
+Note that the Carbon-specific functions mentioned above are not
+available on the X11-enabled build.
-To use colors in a terminal, put the following lines in the file
-~/.termcap and log in again.
+To use colors in Terminal.app on Mac OS X 10.1, put the following
+lines in the file ~/.termcap and log in again.

a script that will greatly simplify the process. It is called
make-package and it is contained in this directory. It will generate
a disc image containing a installer bundle. By default the installer
-will place the emacs common files in /usr/local/* and the carbon
+will place the emacs common files in /usr/local/* and the Carbon
application in /Applications. Typical usage would be
./make-package
$prefix/bin/emacs to reduce disk space. Note, this
option may removed in the future.
-If you are intending to build a binary distribution for X windows, you
-will probably want to follow the directions above to create static
-X11R6 libraries and run the make-package script like this
-
-./make-package --with-x -C,--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/libstatic
For usage of other options, use the --help option.
-* BUILDING EMACS ON MAC OS 8/9
+Note: due to the problem "Installing to a directory with non-ASCII
+characters in the name fails" mentioned in etc/PROBLEMS, you may not
+move a self-contained Emacs.app application bundle to a non-ASCII
+directory.
-You can use either Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 6 or MPW-GM (Aug. 2001)
-to build Emacs. MPW-GM can be downloaded free of charge from Apple.
+* BUILDING EMACS ON MAC OS Classic
-In either case, you will need MPW-GM to build the make-docfile utility
-and to generate the doc string file DOC.
+You can use MPW-GM (Aug. 2001) to build Emacs. MPW-GM can be
+downloaded free of charge from Apple.

the distribution. However, you *must* set the radio button in the
Preferences->Cross Platform->Convert text files to Macintosh format to
"Never". Otherwise the compiled Lisp files will be corrupted.
(Optional) A subset of the fonts from the GNU intlfonts-1.2
distribution converted to NFNT format can be obtained from
- ftp://mac-emacs.sourceforge.net/pub/mac-emacs/GNU-fonts.smi.bin

To build Emacs in the MPW Shell, simply set the directory to
...:emacs:mac: and build the target Emacs of the make file
-makefile.mpw. I.e., execute the commands
+makefile.MPW. I.e., execute the commands
make Emacs -f makefile.MPW > Emacs.MakeScript
Emacs.MakeScript
-To build Emacs using CodeWarrior, start up the CodeWarrior IDE, choose
-File->Import Project... and select the file cw6-mcp.xml. When
-prompted to save the project, navigate to same directory as the file
-cw6-mcp.xml, name the project emacs-cw6.mcp, and save it there. Then
-choose Project->Make. Note that this does not build the DOC file. To
-do so, use MPW and build the target "Doc" in makefile.MPW.
-
-Once built, the Emacs application (Emacs CW or Emacs MPW) can be
-launched where it is created.
+The above commands create an executable that uses the Carbon API.
+The non-Carbon version can also be created by replacing all the
+occurrences of `Emacs' above with `NonCarbon'. Not that the
+non-Carbon version does not support some features such as file
+dialogs, drag-and-drop, and Unicode menus.
-To build an optimized version of Emacs in CodeWarrior, change the
-value in the Emacs Settings->Code Generation->Global Optimization
-dialog. To build a version for profiling, check the Profiler
-Information box in the Emacs Settings->Code Generation->PPC Processor
-dialog and include the Profiler PPC.Lib library.
+Once built, the Emacs application (Emacs MPW) can be launched where it
+is created.
* NOTES
-Emacs should build and run on a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.6 - 10.2.
+Emacs should build and run on a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.6 - 9.2 (but
+only tested on 9.2.2), and Mac OS X 10.1 - 10.4.
You will need around 100 MB of disk space for the source files and
intermediate files.
-It will not run on machines running Mac OS 8/9 with more than 256 MB
-of physical or virtual memory. It does not have this restriction when
-it is run under Mac OS X. But the usual 128MB buffer limit of a
-32-bit Emacs still exists.
-
-Under Mac OS 8/9, there is no support for building the LEIM directory.
-However, it can be built on Mac OS X or another platform and
-transferred to the Mac.
-
-On Mac OS 8/9, to use the same icon as when Emacs is built on Windows
-NT, define GNU_ICON in mac/src/Emacs.r. Currently Emacs uses a
-generic application icon on the Mac OS X. A better looking one is
-coming soon.
+Under Mac OS Classic, there is no support for building the LEIM
+directory. However, it can be built on Mac OS X or another platform
+and transferred to the Mac.
On Mac OS X, installing the emacs files in /usr can cause issues with
-system sofware updates possibly overwriting the distribution. If this
+system software updates possibly overwriting the distribution. If this
is a concern, as it should be in normal binary distributions, please
use /usr/local as the prefix for installation.
+Emacs supports both PowerPC and Intel-based Macintoshes. However,
+due to the unexec process that Emacs uses to dump core, it is not
+possible at this time to generate a universal binary that supports both
+architectures. In addition, Rosetta doesn't appear to work correctly
+with PowerPC builds of Emacs; you will have to recompile for Intel.
+Therefore, builds of Emacs are architecture specific.
+
Enjoy!
