Hello All,

I am thinking about changing to a Mac from Windows and wanted to check
that there are no issues with using org-mode in OS X.

No problems here; including exports to PDF via LaTeX.

 

I would like to know what version of Emacs people use (e.g. Aquamacs)
and also if there are any issues using org-mode on a Mac. For example,
I export to PDF frequently so would like to know if I need any other
software for this.

I use native Gnu Emacs from Homebrew. I've alternated between release and --HEAD in the past; I'm currently using a release version and not the Git Master.

$ brew info emacs

emacs: stable 24.4 (bottled), devel 24.4-dev, HEAD

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.4 (3922 files, 119M) *

  Built from source with: --cocoa, --with-gnutls

From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/emacs.rb

 I use MacTex for the Tex/LaTeX pieces.

 

Many thanks,

Chris
