[Mac-emacs-users] New Webpage for Emacs for Mac OS X

[Andrew Choi]

Hi! Emacs Users and Developers,

I've finally set up a separate web page for Emacs for Mac OS X:

http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/

I hope to be updating this page quite often (perhaps once or twice a
month) with information on new developments on the Mac OS X code.

The old webpage at SourceForge

http://mac-emacs.sourceforge.net/

has also been updated to carry only information on Emacs for Mac OS
8/9.

As you probably know, these two mailing lists, mac-emacs-devel and
mac-emacs-users hosted on lists.sourceforge.net, were originally used
to discuss Emacs for Mac OS Classic. As the version of Emacs for Mac
OS X matures, users and developers have continued to carry out their
discussions on this new version there. Since the Mac OS code (both X
and classic) is already part of the standard Emacs code, I feel that
it is now more suitable to use the common venues already available to
Emacs users and developers of other platforms. Many more
knowledgeable people there will be available to answer general usage
questions. Mac OS users and developers of Emacs will hopefully also
feel less isolated and be part of this bigger Emacs community.

I would like to keep around the Mac OS 8/9 page at SourceForge, so
people can still find my projects, but phase out the mailing lists and
discussion forums there.

So from now on, to discuss the development of Emacs for Mac OS X and
8/9 or submit patches and bug fixes, please post to the mailing list
emacs-***@gnu.org. Please post general questions to the
gnu.emacs.help newsgroup. Read and post bug reports and fixes in the
gnu.emacs.bug newsgroup. To send bug reports from Emacs for Mac OS X,
type M-x report-emacs-bug RET. Also please read the comp.emacs
newsgroup for general information and announcements about Emacs.

As usual please read the posts in the respectively mailing lists and
newsgroups to get a feeling of their scopes before you post, as I'm
sure you will.

Therefore, so long! But see you on the other channels.

Yours faithfully,
Andrew.

New Webpage for Emacs for Mac OS X

Andrew, is it possible to build emacs for Xdarwin? I sometimes would like to
be able to edit things while running under X but I have run into problems
trying to build emacs without adding --without-x

Does the way of building it now you specify include X?
