-You can use either Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 or 6 or MPW-GM
-(Aug. 2000) to build Emacs.
+* BUILDING EMACS ON MAC OS X
-You will need MPW-GM to build the make-docfile utility and to generate
-the doc string file DOC.
+You should be able to build Emacs on Mac OS X by typing the following
+commands at the top-level directory after the source distribution is
+un-tarred.
-To decompress files, you can use MacGzip from
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
- http://persephone.cps.unizar.es/~spd/gzip
+The last step must be performed as root.
-and to untar them, you can use tar 4.0 from
+If you have X Window installed, you need to type `./configure
+--without-x' instead of `./configure'.
- http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cmp/tar-40b.hqx
+You can type `make bootstrap' instead of `make' to rebuild everything,
+including byte-compiling the Lisp files.
-(Optional) If you wish to fetch files from the Emacs CVS repository
-directly to your Mac, you can use the CVS client MacCVS, which can be
-downloaded from
+If you have not installed the GNU texinfo package on your system, the
+build will complain that makeinfo cannot be found. Instructions for
+installing the GNU texinfo package are given below. Alternatively,
+you can type `make -k' instead of `make' and safely ignore the error
+messages and use the existing info files.
- http://www.wincvs.org/
+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
+double-clicking on mac/Emacs.app in the Finder. At present,
+command-line options cannot be passed to Emacs running under the Aqua
+GUI. This should soon be fixed.
-(Optional) A subset of the fonts from the GNU intlfonts-1.2
-distribution converted to NFNT format can be obtained from
+To use colors in a terminal, put the following lines in the file
+~/.termcap and log in again.

+
+To build a binary distribution of Emacs for Mac OS X, run the shell
+script make-bin-dist in the `mac' directory. This will create a file
+emacs-21.xx.yy-mac-bin.tar.gz.
+
+To install the binary distribution, untar the file and run the shell
+script osx-install in its top-level directory.
+
+To build the `info' files, you need to install the texinfo software.
+
+To install from source, obtain texinfo-4.2.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org or
+a mirror. Un-tar it, enter its directory and type
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+The last step needs to be performed as root.
+
+You may also like to install ispell, which will allow you to use
+ispell and flyspell-mode. To install ispell from source, you first
+need to install GNU textutils.
+
+To do so, download textutils-2.0.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org or a mirror.
+Un-tar it, enter its directory, type
+
+ ./configure --host=powerpc-apple-bsd
+ make
+ make install
+
+Again, the last step needs to be performed as root. Note that if you
+run `make check', the test for `pr' will fail.
+
+Get and un-tar ispell-3.2.06.tar.gz. Look for it here:
+
+ http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html
+
+Go into its directory, type
-### IMPORTANT ### If you use StuffIf Expander to decompress and untar
-the distribution, you *must* set the radio button in the
+ cp local.h.samp local.h
+
+Add a line `#define TERMLIB ""' to the end of local.h.
+
+Set the environment variable TMPDIR to an existing directory. For
+example since `/tmp' exists on my machine and I am using `bash', I
+typed
+
+ export TMPDIR=/tmp
+
+Run `make' and `make install', the latter as root.
+
+
+* BUILDING EMACS ON MAC OS 8/9
+
+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.
+
+In either case, you will need MPW-GM to build the make-docfile utility
+and to generate the doc string file DOC.
+
+### IMPORTANT ### You can use StuffIf Expander to decompress and untar
+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
Emacs.MakeScript
To build Emacs using CodeWarrior, start up the CodeWarrior IDE, choose
-File->Import Project... and select the file cw5-mcp.xml or
-cw6-mcp.xml, depending on which verison of CodeWarrior used. When
+File->Import Project... and select the file cw6-mcp.xml. When
prompted to save the project, navigate to same directory as the file
-cw[56]-mcp.xml, name it emacs-cw5.mcp or 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.
+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.
Information box in the Emacs Settings->Code Generation->PPC Processor
dialog and include the Profiler PPC.Lib library.
-To build optimized or debugging version of Emacs in MPW, follow the
-comment in makefile.MPW to enable the -opt speed or -sym on option
-(see note below).

* NOTES
-Emacs should build and run on a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.1 - 9.0.
+Emacs should build and run on a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.6 - 10.1.
You will need around 100 MB of disk space for the source files and
intermediate files.
-It will not run on machines with more than 256 MB of physical or
-virtual memory.
-
-Currently there is no support for building the LEIM directory on the
-Mac. However, it can be built on another platform and transferred to
-the Mac.
+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.
-When Emacs is built with "-opt speed" enabled in makefile.MPW,
-optimization causes the functions reset_buffer_local_variables in
-buffer.c, syms_of_lread in lread.c, and x_draw_hollow_cursor in
-macterm.c to crash. Avoid this by enclosing them in the following
-pragmas.
+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.
- #pragma options opt off
+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.
- <function definition...>
- #pragma options opt reset
+Enjoy!
-To use the same icon as when Emacs is built on Windows NT, define
-GNU_ICON in mac/src/Emacs.r.
