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: Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 xemacs 0x00000001018b8dea pdump_load_finish + 330 1 xemacs 0x00000001018b97e5 pdump_load + 101 (dumper.c:2682) 2 xemacs 0x00000001018985e1 xemacs_21_5_b31_i386_apple_darwin12_0_0 + 3841 (emacs.c:1399) 3 xemacs 0x0000000101899114 main + 164 4 xemacs 0x000000010184e304 start + 52 Here is the tail end of the build: Loading site-load...
