bug#21415: 25.0.50; Emacs Trunk -- pixelwise width/height for x-create-frame

[Anders Lindgren]

Hi,

Yesterday I checked in a fix for the OS X 10.6.8 build problem. However, I used the emacs-25 branch, which is where active development should go after Fridays feature freeze. Please try it out and let me know if it works for you.

I'm 100% behind supporting 10.6.8. There are a number of Mac:s that can't be upgraded to newer OS X versions, but otherwise run perfectly fine.

However, there has been talk about dropping 10.5 and PowerPC support, but I haven't seen any definitive decision regarding this. I guess they will fall of the wagon once there are no developers actively supporting them. (Personally, I don't have access to a PowerPC machine, and wouldn't spend my free time supporting it anyway.)

I really enjoy using OSX 10.6.8 and presently have three (3) computers that I regularly use with that operating system running natively.

I would undoubtedly need to undergo several sessions of therapeutic interventions to help me cope with a world without OSX 10.6.8 if Emacs master branch someday becomes unavailable as to that OSX version.

Anything that can be done to maintain compatibility with OSX 10.6.8 would be greatly appreciated -- pretty please with sugar on top -- :)
