Dear Users,
First off I am a newbie. I installed emacs (in the user folder of my mac os10.5.8) and am able to run it from my terminal but I have no gui interface. This is the command I used to build
$ ./configure --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
I did this because I was told to by the error messages when I initially attempted to install with just ./configure.
Why not `./configure --with-ns` as suggested in ./nextstep/INSTALL, which is
referenced by both ./INSTALL and ./nextstep/README?
So I have two questions is this why I don't get a gui interface?
More importantly can I open with a gui interface with this installation?
Are you running the ./nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs executable
from the terminal?
Or did you run `make install` after `make`, and are running the
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs executable from the terminal?
Does it help to run the executable with the -Q option?
Can you re-run ./configure and post the output?
I have downloaded and installed a second version of emacs, the carbon version which does open with the gui, I have this file in my applications folder. Is there any way I can invoke this version of emacs while in the terminal and having ssh'd to a remote host?
Please ask for clarification if this is unclear and thanks in advance for any help,
I suggest:
make distclean
./configure --with-ns
make
sudo make install
I always log the output for future reference e.g.
./configure --with-ns 2>&1 | tee configure.log

After the last step simply move Emacs.app in the nextstep folder to your /Applications folder. There is no need to run 'sudo make install'.
