The build went okay, but now I'm a little unclear what the typical hack/rebuild/debug cycle looks like. I can't launch the Emacs executable directly from the looks of it (Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/usr/local/libexec/emacs/22.1.50/i386-apple-darwin9.1.0/) does not exist), but I bet that using the .dmg and doing a full- blown install is the wrong way to go about it. Any suggestions?
This needs to be placed inside an .app bundle. Make-package will do that for you. Can you tell make-package to not create a .dmg/.pkg? In that case, it should leave the bundle somewhere for you to execute.
Ignore the warning.(Also, you often don't need to dump, depending on what you do, which means you can copy the "temacs" executable generated before preloading/ dumping as Emacs in .app/Contents/MacOS. But that's a hack that shouldn't be necessary.)
You should be able to run make-package without going through all the configuration again, i.e. just a make to compile only what has changed.
If you find a good, convenient way, please let us know and maybe create a Wiki page with a description. These things would really help people write more code, and that would benefit everyone...
