I want to update my emacs on CentOS 5.5 to 23 but I can't find any rpms or yum repos that have it?
BACKGROUND:
I've downloaded Emacs from Github's Emacs mirror (commit f92c4be63204ed0bd914). Using Mac OS X 10.6.4, I'm now about to compile and install Emacs.app.
MY QUESTION:
The nextstep/INSTALLATION doc states nothing about make boostrap. Whereas, at various places on the Internet (following the ./configure --with-ns step but before the make step), I often see that 'boostrap' part included in the installation process.
I'm just wondering what make bootstrap does, and if it's beneficial or even needed?
I have this line in my .emacs file:
(tool-bar-mode 0)
because I hate the toolbars in my GUI emacs (/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs).
But when I start up my other, text-based emacs in the terminal (/opt/local/bin/emacs) it complains about that command:
Symbol's function definition is void: tool-bar-mode
How can I add an if condition so that it executes the tool-bar-mode command only when I'm in the GUI emacs?
Thanks!
I need to add a directory to my PATH variable on Mac OS.
I added it in .bash_profile and .profile, and that works for the terminal.
But Emacs (http://emacsformacosx.com) still does not use the new PATH variable. (I'm trying to run latex from emacs, but it's not finding the command in my /usr/local/bin, which I'm trying to add to the PATH ...)
I even logged out and back in, but still no luck.
Any suggestions?
I tried using the GNU Emacs download, unzipped it and then clicked on emacs.exe, but got some obscure error.
Then I tried Cygwin emacs, but when I press ctrl x ctrl c to quit emacs it thinks I pressed ctrl x ctrl "g"!!! I checked all the key mapping and they work otherwise in Emacs.
Is there another version of emacs for windows that just works!
