Just wondering if this emacs bug ever got fixed? I'm keen to dump the Gnome version that comes installed with FreeBSD and make everything I use 'native' GNUStep.

Anything I can do to help, short of coding (I would if I could), but ObjC isn't something I know.

sadly no progress. The current status is that I have minimal patches to make things "build" and startup on Linux. but all platforms which need fake main have other differences to sort out and I tend to use the latter platforms (namely BSD).

Honestly I am concentrating with Fred smoothing out issues in gui and pantomime so that a release can soon be done. I have left one itching bug in Pantomime so that GNUMail can get out.

Short of that, working this year on getting emacs working on GNUstep would be really great, but I really do think that coding is required and by looking at the code, it is not even easy. The build process with liking is unique too (which could be the initialization issue that I see).
Besides of coding, It would be good to have direct contact with the current Cocoa maintainers, so that certain things could be discussed. Do you have them perhaps?

Thanks for your interest though.
