Building Mac OS X Emacs 26 #
On 11 Oct 2017 Emacs 26.0.90 pretest was released. For Mac, there's a build on emacsformacosx.com. I have been using the "Mac port" from Mitsuharu Yamamoto because it feels smoother and faster on my system, and I decided to try his development branch. Here's what I ran:
brew install gnutls texinfo libxml2 cd ~/Projects/src git clone --branch work --depth 1 https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac.git cd emacs-mac ./autogen.sh export PATH=/usr/local/opt/texinfo/bin/:$PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --with-mac \ --prefix=/PersonalApplications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS \ --enable-mac-app=/PersonalApplications make make install
It runs nicely!
A minor note: the byte-compiled .elc files compiled under Emacs 26 are not compatible with Emacs 25, so if you go back to an older version, you'll need to recompile the .elc files.
