Dump failure for XEmacs 21.5 (beta31) on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
I installed OS X 10.8 on my iMacs yesterday. XEmacs compiles and links without an error.
temacs runs and byte compiles the elisp files. The build fails near the end when the
dumped version of XEmacs tries load and run -batch and the batch-update functions.
I recall reading somewhere that 10.8 would be unfriendly to programs that dump and then
try to run the dumped file. Perhaps that is what is going on. Is there a way to configure
so that XEmacs does not create a dumped image and then to run temacs instead? That way I
could test the executable to see if it was stable. Here is the only part of the crash
report with usable data:
