Aloha!
I am a long time Emacs user, and recent GNUstep 'convert'.
I used to use primarily text-based Emacs, but my recent (last August)
discovery of Emacs.app has changed all that! I now pretty much prefer the
GUI version embodied in Emacs.app.
I have Emacs.app rc1 running on the current stable GNUstep 'startup 0.18.4',
which includes the current stable releases of GNUstep base (Foundation) and
GNUstep gui (AppKit).
I use Debian Sarge with a custom kernel 2.6.19.1, WindowMaker and current
updates for everything.
Unfortunately, Emacs.app rc3 won't even build on my current machine.
===================================
mkdir -p /home/cjh/GNUstep/Build/emacs-
23.0.0_NS-9.0rc3/src/../nextstep/build/Emacs.app/
cp -f emacs /home/cjh/GNUstep/Build/emacs-

Please examine the above output to determine what went wrong,
edit the configure options in this script (\'compile\') to fix it, and
rerun.
===================================
So I thought I'd try and see what happened with Emacs.app rc2a. It build
fine AFAICT, but when trying to run it, the menu and main window display,
along with a separate panel titled 'Critical Error in Emacs', which also
contains the message:
NSInvalidArgumentException: stopModalWithCode: when not in a modal session
and then two buttons -- 'Debug' and 'Abort'. If I click 'Debug', it aborts.
I'd really like to get this working, and I'll be happy to do what I can to
help (I have many years of development experience, and have been using Linux
on my personal machines since 1997).
But, being new to GNUstep, I don't know where to start in homing in on
*this* particular problem. And looking at the mailing list since the rc3
release date, I didn't see *any* feedback from folks using GNUstep -- or
did I miss something?
I did find something via Google relating to CCDOSPY (the file being byte
compiled when ../src/emacs seg faults)
http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.bug/browse_thread/thread/de434ff4456c733e/9cd9622f302914c4
but it seems to be for Mac OSX, and using the CVS stuff as well.
Could someone give me a few pointers/suggestions/tips?
Thanks again, I really look forward to getting this to work.
