This directory contains the files needed to build Emacs on the Mac OS |
|---|
| 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. |
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 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 |
|
|---|
| 18 |
The following are not supported on Mac OS Classic: unexec (dump-emacs), |
|---|
| 19 |
asynchronous subprocesses (start-process), and networking |
|---|
| 20 |
(open-network-stream). These features work fine on Mac OS X. |
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 |
There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) on |
|---|
| 23 |
Mac OS Classic (non-Carbon build only) although Unix commands that are |
|---|
| 24 |
used will need to be ported. |
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 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. |
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 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 |
|
|---|
| 35 |
+ Support for PostScript image type is not available. |
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 |
+ Incorporate Apple's wrappers to be able to create a universal |
|---|
| 38 |
binary that unexecs on first run for the given architecture. |
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|

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. |
