I surely hope that the Carbon port isn't dead.
I use 22.1.1 2007-06-16 on powerpc-apple-darwin8.9.0
as the only emacs that works on my laptop.
It is not a subjective sort of "doesn't work", I tried
emacs.app (can't remember version will add more) and it blew up on my .emacs
with these lines:
(cond
((string-equal "gnu/linux" system-type) (load-file
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el"))
((string-equal "darwin" system-type) (load-file (concat (getenv "HOME")
"/system/emacs/darwin.el")))
)
For a test case you can drop the (load-file "file") part. I found that a single
string-equal call
on the system-type symbol worked. However two subsequent uses of the
system-type symbol as above
caused the elisp debugger to be entered.
I removed the line and it (Emacs.app) continued to exhibit terrible behavior.
Crashed during syntax highlighting,
received numerous "max binding depth reached" like errors doing innocuous
things like C-hf. I have also noticed
that problem on Linux-x86 with emacs 23.0.0.3, but it's alot harder to trigger
there.
I was waiting for the time to construct a more useful problem report, but this
has at least a test-case.
