This directory contains the files needed to build Emacs on the Mac OS

systems.

are supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of
the mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and
coding systems.
Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder,
transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and
sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs.
The following are not supported on Mac OS 8/9 : unexec (dump-emacs),
The following are not supported on Mac OS Classic: unexec (dump-emacs),
asynchronous subprocesses (start-process), and networking
(open-network-stream). These features work fine on Mac OS X.
There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) on
Mac OS 8/9 although Unix commands that are used will need to be
ported.

Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 6 or MPW-GM (August 2001) can be used to
build Emacs on the Mac OS 8/9. On Mac OS X, Emacs can be built using
the Developer Tools. See the INSTALL file in this directory for
instructions on building Emacs.

Read the Mac OS section of the on-line help to find out about how to
use Emacs on the Mac.
A number of things do not work yet:
+ Emacs does not respond correctly to C-g under certain circumstances.
Sending the Emacs process a SIGINT externally will cause it
to interrupt. This is due to the architecture of OSX's
Window Manager.
+ Support for certain image types (such as XPM) is not as extensive as
on other plaforms.
+ Support for PostScript image type is not available.
+ Incorporate Apple's wrappers to be able to create a universal
binary that unexecs on first run for the given architecture.
