Compiling Emacs on Snow Leopard

Has anyone successfully compiled the latest CVS Emacs on Snow Leopard? If so, can you provide instructions? I used Leopard on Leopard and it worked fine:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs
cd emacs
./configure --enable-carbon-app --with-ns --with-jpeg=no --with-gif=no \
            --with-tiff=no
make bootstrap
make
sudo make install
sudo cp -r nextstep/Emacs.app /Applications/Emacs.app

but that doesn't work anymore on Snow Leopard.

To answer my question, there are built-in Emacs binaries that work on Snow Leopard such as http://emacsformacosx.com/



Patches that are available in various places most often work for specific CVS ​​revisions most of the time.

In the absence of any other information, check out this thread for details on Emacs / Snow Leopard problems and their final resolution.

You can also take a look at Aquamacs , which is currently in beta for the latest Emacs and offers slightly better OS X integration than the default build.

You need to add one parameter in the configuration step:

./configure --with-ns CC='gcc -arch i386' --with-jpeg=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no

emacs is not yet released for 64-bit Mac architecture

- enable-carbon-app is also not needed now
