Re: compiling the beta on an iMac

I doubt it's been updated in quite a while, but the Carbon support is quite independent of the rest of XEmacs, it should be trivial to merge up. I don't see why it wouldn't build and run, but of course there have been significant changes in Mac OS X since I last ran it (on Tiger, I think). I think you're probably referring to the MacPorts version? The version they were distributing was in violation of the GPL (the upstream author removed copyright and permission notices from GPLed files). He never moved to revoke or disclaim his public domain dedication, and never threatened to sue us over the changes we felt necessary, so the best legal advice I could get was that we could use it subject to fixing the GPL violations before distributing. I guess MacPorts either got tired of maintaining two XEmacs ports, or didn't want to deal with that. There was also a very old version by Pitts Jarvis, but that wasn't really a GUI port (although it could have been extended, it had full bindings to the Mac toolkits). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
