Re: Making of Carbon Emacs fails

[Peter Dyballa]

I have to admit that things like those described in my previous eMail 
happen when one forgets to 'make clean!'

Having cleaned my X11 build, make-package went fine -- except that I 
did not remove or save the old EmacsInstaller.dmg! This was my chance 
to remove the -L. hack too -- and Carbon Emacs was built again without 
any trouble! So the clue is: first clean the X11 build, then make the 
Carbon personality -- which is the more clever way anyway! Because with 
the default (configure) method of make-package only a small portion of 
GNU Emacs is put into /Applications/Emacs.app (<16MB), most software 
goes into /usr/local (<125MB, which I thought was a clever idea when I 
tried that the first time myself when trying to configure a Carbon 
version of GNU Emacs 21.3.50) and makes /usr/local/bin/emacs quite 
unusable: invoking that binary launches the Carbon personality in a 
rather unfunctioning shape. So you have to install (and make) the X11 
variant afterwards to have a working X11 personality too! And typing 
'!' on the EmacsInstaller.dmg in the dired-mode buffer followed by an 
'open' in mini-buffer really opens the image and prepares it for 
installation.

I think the source is much more clever than me!
