3 This directory contains the files needed to build GNU Emacs on the Mac
4 OS (8.1-9.0). Many of the major features of the Unix version are
5 supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of the
6 mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and coding
9 Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder,
10 transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and
11 sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs.
13 The following are not yet supported: unexec (dump-emacs), asynchronous
14 subprocesses (start-process), and networking
15 (open-network-connection).
17 There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process)
18 although Unix commands that are used will need to be ported to the
21 Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 or Pro 6 or MPW-GM (August 2000) can be
22 used to build Emacs on the Mac OS. See the INSTALL file in this
23 directory for instructions on building Emacs.
25 Binary distributions are available at
